Downs in the Pink: Update

[KING NUGGETT]

I heard yesterday both the Vale & Downs are going to wear pink is that true ?

[legga]

A band to play after as well. Get your leave forms in...

[Hawkesy]

Would like to think all teams could annually take turns in hosting a "In the Pink Day". Maybe on their Sponsor Day. Maybe a Sat club could do one this year. Downs would donate to all other clubs that hosted this event.

Will the kits have the Downs badges/sponsors on them, perhaps you could "rent" these kits out to another team wishing to do the event. Clubs could save the money of buying them thus having more funds available to donate.

[marooned]

Kits have Downs logos and Sponsors. Kits are being purchased by the players and many will donate them for auction to raise more funds.
To date we have close to $4000 in sponsorship and would hope to get up around the $10,000 mark. SAASL have donated $500 and Florina have also donated $500. Still waiting for other clubs to come on board. All donation over $2 are tax deductible .

Things are moving along nicely at this stage and our face book event page is well over 100 now for people attending this great cause.

We have media coverage via The Messenger and radio and are working on a few other avenues.

Its going to be a great day out there with plenty of great football and all for a great cause.

[KING NUGGETT]

Eddie told me when we played them, Vale are going to wear pink as well. I said how's that gonna work you senial old barstard??? He said one will be pink & black one will be black & pink. Is that true? or is he really a senial old barstard? all due respect intended

[marooned]

SOB would be close.

2000 people at the ground . Thats huge if you can get it.

Great work by both clubs!

Hopefully the Downs boys take it easy this week in preparation for that game

[Mato]

lol 2000, Mr Duncan having a laugh or?

[marooned]

Downs v Vale attract between 750 to 1000 most Derby games with promotion and added interest from the local community, 2000 is not out of reach. Think small or think big. I would rather think big.

[marooned]

Ingle Farm have donated $500 and Parafield Gardens have donated $500. Salisbury Florina have donated $500. Cmon the rest of you, we are waiting. Cheque's can be made out to NBCF and sent to the Downs at P.O box 1 Smithfield 5113.

Due credit goes to you and the other clubs that have donated for this big day too.

Aaron Davy is 42 years old?

that knock to the face must have put a few years on the big fella

[legga]

This is the one the downs supporters have been waiting for since the last time we played them. A golden oppurtunity to wack a relegation nail in the bungers coffin. A great cause with marooned and azza doing a cracking job to get this off the ground and a good band playing after, rdo,s all round. Anyway lets cranck this up and get all the vale supporter out on day release so we can push the 2000 mark. Let them know there is an all you can eat bung fritz smorgy on after the game and best of all lets all get there and help donate to the vales cause of going down quicker than maltese eddy in a bar full of sailors. going down, going down, going down has a good ring to it I may sing it all day. Fire up you bungers always entertaining when you are at argy park as I said cant wait.

Does this mean that the Downs don't have to pay the ref and assistants on the day?
