B2D bucket collections will be happening at tomorrow's match, spread the word and any loose change will be much appreciated.

Is there any possibility of an alternative collection should the game be called off tomorrow? Maybe in the town centre if possible?

You need permission from the council ahead of time

Surely we can have a bucket collection at the club shop without permission!?!

Looks like we have missed a trick here! ^

Might be an idea to set up a bucket or two at the shop.

Standing infront of 1000 people coming through a turnstyle is a good way to hit a lot of faces quickly, having a labelled bucket at the shop for the limited traffic will not raise much.

A well advertised and obvious bucket collection as a one off is much more effective.

Just an idea , but what about at some stage all the floating foreign currency people accumulate.
Could we nominate a game whereby people bring all their most probably low value Euros. $ Etc.
I Have Dirhams, $ , Kenyan Shillings, Euro,s and probably others if I look around the drawers

Think about it, we'd have probably a couple of quid each in 100 currencies.

Who is going to sort through that lot, then fart about converting it? The potential rewards wouldn't be worth the time invested.

Name that 100 currencies, without resorting to xchangerate sites, smart ass
More likely made up of a few currencies and my bet would be mainly from coins like Euro , cents etc. ...perhaps more of us holiday in Mongolia than Europe these days
You could sort it, as you have nothing better to do

I have lots of better things to do than sort through your mongolian coins.

It's your idea, you run with it. You can do the counting/converting. Good luck.
