5 mins of thinking has me come up with another idea, this was planned a while back, cricket has just finished.

Asking Lancashire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire say to publicise this......who knows?

Utd and City to run an advert across their scoreboards.....yes they may refuse but for such a cause, they would be wise not to.

Like Alty365 said, we are in hard times, People just can't afford all these extra fundraising events, it's hard enough trying to get the money together to follow the team home and away which is a lot of peoples priority. I've supported lots of fundraising ideas over the years, but with a mortgage to pay and a team to follow up and down the country, it just isn't as easy as it used to be.
Perfectly valid point Pork Pie, I just think the target audience should have been wider than Alty's fanbase and advertised accordingly. Perhaps a more generous split than 50-50 charity wise would help too.

Whilst raising money for cancer is a worthy cause, most people just don't like celebrity football matches.

I thought last years game was better publicised by far than this years game (am i wrong in thinking it got tv plugs?). Think there was maybe 200-250 there this year as opposed to around 600-700 last year.

Whilst i went to both games, as other people have said, it is hard enough trying to afford to go to home games and many away games so that will probably be why people had this low on there priorities.
