Michael i don't think they tell you i was woundering that myself, lol. Guess they hope people might panick at the last minute and bid a little bit more.

yeah that makes sense, guess we just have to put what little money we do have to chuck around on it and see what happens lol wish we did have £5000 but it certainly wouldnt all go on this auction, as you say geordie, a smallish bid might actually do it, it's worth a try. Would be nice to see Meat doing something different. I personally think he's got enough concerts lined up so a novelty event like this seems quite a refreshing change imo.

Not sure if everyone here knows or not. But Stu (Cujo on here I think, will have to double check in a min, if anyone else knows Stu or chelles (24k) details on here off hand feel free to add them lol as i'm insanely busy and thought i'd better post about this) There is lots of fans in other countries who wanted to bid but thought it not much point as they couldn't make it anyway. To cut a long story short (anyone else feel free to fill in the gaps lol) Stu is being sponspored by quite a few on net.

Makes bidding much more interesting if you either cant make it there on the day or cant kick a ball to save your life lol. As Stu has more chance of being one of the 100 if lots of us sponsor him. So we actually get to have a Meat fan kick balls at Meat for us all rather than just bid and know we aren't in with a chance as sadly most of us cant afford it.

Stu and Chelle both live in Newcastle and have raised money for local charities on many occasions. Stu is going to get some corporate sponsors as well

So if anyone wants to sponsor them, pm them on here or meatloaf.net

The threads on .net is HERE

It'd be very cool to see a fan and friend to many in the Meat community be one of those lucky enough to kick balls at Meat. Much better imo than just seeing those who have tons of money to throw around win

[Monstro]

Yup, tis Cujo on here as well

[djfierce]

lol Deb, you really did type that in a rush didnt you hun.

Basically guys, there were quite a few fans who wanted to donate to the charity and support Meat too but wouldnt be able to take the kick or didnt have enough money to put in a serious bid, therefore, Stu (cujo) has been nominated to collect as much sponsor money as he can from fans and elsewhere, if he wins the bid, he will then take the kick on behalf of all the fans who wanted to show their support and will point this out to Meat on the day. It certainly does make sense for those who want to do something but cant bid for whatever reason.

Its a great idea, and a very worthy cause. Deb is indeed right a lot of people on net are getting behind this. My hubby Stu is gonna get some corporate sponsorship, see how much he can get them to part with. We will aslo be adding our own donation to the pot.
However, i understand if people want to do their own thing)
If anyone wants any info on joining the sponsorship please pm me or Stu ( cujo ). All details of peoples donations and pledges will remain strictly confidential. I do have paypal for those overseas, cheques can be made payable to the charity itself if preferred.
Hopefully we will win one of those places, i will hopefully be there to film it.
I have had hubby in the park, jumpers for goalpostsLOL....

[Deb]

Thats an understatement Anji lol. Thanks for making it sound more sensible both of you lol.

Technically I have two days left before I go on tour and my head has seriously lost the plot lol.

[Steingirl]

What a great cause! My mom recently passed away from cancer much too young. I have a lot of respect for Meat for supporting such a worthy charity.
