Rochdale Sponsored Walk

maccawozzagod · 03-09-2009, 22:35

This year Stanley fans will once again take to the streets in aid of a good cause. Last year the Ultras raised a FANtastic amount of money to build a new school in Nepal and to aid the Accy Pals appeal. This year the cause is a lot closer to home and we are trying to ensure that we still have a club to support.

Can we beat the £5k raised by SU last year?

Can we get more than 60 people to do the walk?

The venue is the same, Rochdale, and will take place on the 24th October.

The walk is around 17 miles and took around 4 hours last year. Assistance will be provided if anyone is struggling during the walk and needs collecting via car.

Water will be provided en route

I would hope that a large representation of each 'group' will be made on the walk.

Groups that I hope are present will be
ASFC staff, youth team, non playing 1st team
OSC
ASSF
SU
Stanley Ladies?
Local politicians
Local media (Dan, Ben, Suzanne, Dany, get your boots laced up - you'll be there in time to set up)

I'll set to work on trying to ensure we have transport back

Please volunteer your services and bring a mate. Or sponsor others.

The buckets will be out as well.

Sponsorship forms will be available for the Darlo match

Jack Barratt will be walking a short distance at the beginning and end (health allowing) of this walk.

For those that don't know, he walked from Accrington to Liverpool in aid of reforming the club back in 68.

It will be fantastic for the record books that the man who did so much to bring the club back to life will still be doing his bit to save the club over 50 years later.

A good few sponsorship forms were handed out last night, any of you planning to join in can get the forms from me at work (Lancashire Hardware on King St) or can collect them from me (or someone helping me hopefully) at the Darlo match next week.

I am in the middle of blagging all our friendly media folks to join in with the walk and Dan and Dany (2br and accy observer) have already agreed to do it. And I am reliably informed that Coley is planning to join in. The Don said last night that he will manning the front line with us as well

when is it? if i can do it could you post or email a sponsorship form....

maccawozzagod · 05-09-2009, 11:42

24th october buddy, be nice to have you back

Doug · 05-09-2009, 14:23

It would be nice to honour and pay tribute to Jack Barrett by re walking the original route on mass. Next year will be 42 since Jack’s contribution to Accrington Stanley’s History. Next year I should be free of working seven day weeks and should be still in reasonable health at 51……any body fancy it?
