The B-Ark / Anthony Church

« on: July 31, 2009, 10:06:35 AM »

Only 485 watching last night but what do we think of Church (number 4 last night).

I know it's very early and that was only 90mins on a warm July evening but......I thought he was class.

Last time I saw a player in a BUFC shirt that stood out like that for me I was watching a reserve match and the player in question was...........David Norris.

I've been looking around for 20/1 or even 25/1 and I was going to have a little interest for the season.

Best prices so far have been skybet that were 16/1 us, but are now 12/1.

Corals are 16/1 and this could be the best we get.

If we get a result on Saturday against Gainsborough I would expect the 16/1 to go and we will be about 12/1.

Lincs Racing (Boston Sponsor) in Boston follow Corals prices so I would expect them to be 16/1.

I probably won't waste my money this year, just spend it on beer instead.

Craig has allocated us MATT KENNEDY as the unlucky player to be blessed with our sponsorship for season 2009/2010.

With Ken's pledge and other donations we allready have enough for home kit sponsorship. We still need a little more to secure both home and away kit.


Feel free to contact Craig direct if you don't have access to paypal.

I was expecting to be able to send a message with the paypal payment but you cannot. Maybe after making a donation we come on this thread and confirm, I don't see any need to say how much just confirm your in. Or you could follow the donation with a PM to Ken or an email to craig.singleton@bufc.co.uk

I dont think the "save the pilgrims" fund is that busy that Craig will lose track of were all the money is coming from.

Well I'm in.

Like I said "what can go wrong"

impsTALK will likely not be back in action any time soon - long story - so someone else will have to sort this.

This should be quite simple then. We donate what we can afford via paypal to the club as mentioned above. When Craig has £200ish he will allocate us a player to be sponsored by "pilgrims Patter". If we don't raise enough Craig will no doubt find something else to attach our name too.

Just a way of getting involved with club sponsorship for a nominal fee.

Are we going to sponsor a player again this season, like impstalk did last?

Is this your shout Ken?

If we are I'll chuck a few quid in.

It was an impsTALK thing, so it should be Pete & Adam organising it again.

I'll bung in a few quid as well again if they pull their finger out!

Just spoke to Craig and he said another player sponsorship would be very much appreciated.

He suggested making payment via http://www.supportthepilgrims.com/ using paypal.

Paypal payments are to craig.singleton@bufc.co.uk

He will then allocate us a player when we have donated enough money. About £200 is what we need I think.

At the end of the season Pete, Adam or Ken can deceide what they want to do with the kit.

The Unibond official bookmaker Corbett have put us in at 8/1. ROFL

A new team, new managers with all of six months experience and one of the smallest budgets in the league.

FFS I give up.

With Whitby & Hucknall missing from the list and Hednesford an addition it dissorts it a bit. The over round (bookmakers percentage) is over 200% when it should be just over 100%. I would expect to get nearly double the price on any of the teams quoted before the season starts.

25/1 Boston would be a bit interesting, saying that I've backed them for the last two seasons so will probably not bother this year and watch them pi** it.

2/1 Lynn must be a joke, they would still be 2/1 at christmas if they were 10pts clear.

Whats it going to cost to win this lot? Andy Butler has a idea on these things, is he on here now? I'm guessing at £200? but think they could fetch more in singles.

The only point in restricting travel is to contain the virus. We are way way past containment now as the virus is well diseminated throughout the population.

Would you agree that their is more chance of catching this virus than not?

The current virus is not a real threat to people in this country - what may become a problem during the winter months iis if some individuals get both the swine flu virus and regular flu (if there is such a beast). The viruses can swop DNA/RNA and we could end up with something quite nasty.

Would you agree that it could be quite usefull to catch this now before it mutates into something more deadly?

People born before 1920 seem to be more imune, and the obese seem to be more liable to serious illness.

I'm no medical expert and don't really have an opinion on this.

The B-Ark / Swine flu will disrupt the football season.

« on: July 14, 2009, 09:29:56 AM »

If people are found to be dying of swine flu and not underlying health issues do you think we could see a restriction on non essential travel until the government vacinate the whole country?

The government are going to vacinate the whole country but they will not have enough vacine to do this until next year.

During the foot and mouth out break the horse racing calendar was suspended. Is it possible that the football calendar could be suspended?

This shows how fast the virus is spreading:

http://flutracker.rhizalabs.com/

If you look at the Cumulative chart on this page you will see the amount of people that are infected has doubled in a month to 120,000. While not massive in itself it dosen't take a doctorate in maths to work out that this will be massive in six months.

How would this affect clubs of our size if the season was suspended in November and we had all our expenses to pay with no income?

Is their anything we can do to budget for this?

Have I really lost the plot this time?

He used to own and run The Ruddy Duck off the boardsides (the old aero club). Nice enuf bloke, be interesting to see how he copes with a room full of pissed up football supporters......

"Special opening offer of 50p a pint" as per Qwerty on "The Sports Bar or..." thread...................
Might be to give him some practice! 

Forgot to mention, to qualify for the 50p per pint you must be over 75 and accompanied by both parents.
