WOW WOW WOW, what an idea and what a response....really hope this all goes ahead, its people like James and yourself that make Bradford the best club in SL.

Also with leedsbull on this one....publish the route, i'm sure there will be plenty of support to keep you both going. Hopefully the club will get involved too....we do have a few injured players who could do with a walk to aid with their rehab!!

GOOD LUCK

Excellent idea! Make sure Hood is aware of this if he isn't already as he has said that he will only accept pledges if he is confident we can find the other 500k so ideas like this will reassure him that as a club and community and with a lot of help from you the club can get through this!
As an idea for when to do it, what about finishing it just before kick of of the Huddersfield game (22nd I think) and perhaps the club could sort it out for you to finish on the centre spot running out to the pitch with the team?
I definitely think that you will raise a lot of money with this especially if it gets the media coverage it deserves from Sky (Boots'N'All etc.), Look North and the national papers!

Put me down for £20 as long as I can pay by paypal.

All,

James and Andy are going to need some help. If anybody can help them with things such as setting up accounts, Paypal etc I'm sure they would be grateful. Also they are going to need support, the Bulls could offer some of this in the form of logistics (Minibus, collection buckets, flyers, posters etc) Clothing, camping equipment or B&B. I have tried to contact a few outlets but haven't heard anything yet. Sports drinks, power bars and supplements could come from Team supplier JST.
Bullman and Bullboy could join in, Chearleaders, ex players, Sky pundits Stevo and Clarkey, Barry and Terry. I suggest you contact Andy if you think you can help.

As you see I rarely post but certainly count me in. Defo a winner

Good luck Andy and James and know alot of Bulls fans hopefully the Club will support you in this brilliant idea. Including myself

What a great idea! Count me in for a few quid.

ditto £25 from me...tremendous!

Im in count me in for £20 fantastic idea. Its just an idea but I think it would help if you could print off some sponsor forms for friends and family cos I can guarantee they would be willing to put their hand sin their pockets for such a brave person. My dad ran a gymn club for a lot of years for kids with special needs such as downs syndrome and it never ceases to amaze me the bravery and determination of people affected by such a severe mental handicap. An inspiration in every sense of the word!

I can sort out a bank account if you want. PM me if interested

It might also show banks the support out there for our club!!!!

Just stay away from RBS!

Might be easier said than done!!!

having done Wakey to Hudds walks looking at a 150 mile walk isn't something to be sniffed at so take it that you are both capable of doing the distance,
the distance we did was around 15 mile on the day and still ended up with blisters so I would take care in your preparations and would like to wish you good travels if you get the go ahead, I wouldn't like to think that I was doing it

Absolutely brilliant idea,definitely get sponsor forms out, the sky's the limit (no pun intended)

As I've just said on twitter, what a time for my internet to go. Yes there's Wifi but that would have involved the joys of Whitley Bay on a bank Holiday. No thanks.

Yeah Bets 'y' Bulls, bank account a great idea but we need to hear from the club. Snowie, we know there will be blisters, we also know what is at stake. Hello blisters.

Repeated for effect- if there aren't 100,000 people who think a lad with Downs Syndrome doing this to save his club then we should all give up. Not on the Bulls but on life.

Wish me luck as I venture this onto Southstander.....

I'm actually in shock, the Rhinos have been in touch, they're looking to send players with us as we go round Leeds. As I said, this isn't about "my clubs better than yours" or righting wrongs. I'll care about who got us into this mess after James has got the club out of it.

Route getting planned later.

Bulls (finally) got in touch. Those who wish to could do us a massive favour and let them know how big this has become. They should throw their resources at us because we know done correctly this could raise the full amount. They know us from the 100 rounds so they know how capable and determined we are to do this.

Speaking of the 100 rounds, would a Team Olsen v The Bulls players interest anyone, in the summer perhaps? Don't worry James will take it easy on them

Bump.

Well done them.

If the bulls have said next half million in next 10-12 weeks then you have more time to plan/advertise/get sponsorship etc

Yeah saw that Leedsbull and it means.....we can move the date back a little. May 19-26 with James finishing at Odsal than going by car to the magic weekend to watch us play his new friends at Leeds.

Hi Toonbull
Please will you contact Sarah at the Bulls, on the phone number that she's emailed you with, to talk about the practicalities of the walk.

Can you make one of those shirts in Blue and Amber ?

Just lifting the profile of this thread. It doesn't deserve to be slipping down the page.

Aye.
