Players for Pounds 2025-2026 - theo_luddite - 17-07-2025

Here we go again, for all those that are interested, for another fun-filled fest of money raising for some of our favourite charidees.

Town have done a major rebuild over the summer in both the managerial/coaching department and the playing department, not least in defence. At the moment we seem to be keeping the faith with the lads up front who did so little to score for us after their expensive January transfers last season. Well we needed a few at the back with a turning circle that was tighter than the Queen Elizabeth and an ability to sprint a bit faster than the pub drunk to the bar for last orders. We just need midfielders to set things up on a plate for the forwards to miss and we'll be well fettled.

There may be more players to come. Watch another space on our boards. Like somewhere around here. https://www.sportsbabble.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=13769&page=6

Despite last season's abysmal attempt at getting promoted at the first attempt, we still raised a nice £191 so it would be good to beat the £200 barrier again this season. Our friends at YAA were very appreciative of our efforts.

I'll take a straw poll from you all on whether we're still supporting the correct charidees please.

Kindly send in your punditry predictions. I've started mine, though I may add a player or two with two left feet before we kick off on the 2nd of August.

Despite drawing the groups for the EFL Tin Pot Vertu Trophy, the EFL are still keeping it secret as to when these games are actually going to take place other than w/c Sept 1. Apparently we've got the Newcy Broon U21's, Harrogate and Mansfield to start with.

I'm going to be away for Josh Koroma scoring a hat-trick in the first match, but maybe we'll improve as the season goes on.

£1 every League game that Rhys Healey starts.
£1 every goal from Ben Wiles, Herbie Kane, David Kasumu. All comps.
£1 for every penalty scored or saved by us. All comps.

Rethink on the FA Cup - £2 for getting through to round 2, £3 to round 3, and so on.

Same for Carabooboo.

I'll do a pound for each Cup goal again. That's EFL Cup, EFL Trophy and FA Cup.

Might as well take a gamble on Alfie May in the hope that he bankrupts me. Pound for each of his goals.

50p per goal from any new signings. 50p per goal from a foreign player. £1 per goal from a player that has come through our set up.

To begin with

RE: Players for Pounds 2025-2026 - SHEP_HTAFC - 31-07-2025

I'll do a £1 for every point we gain from our Yorkshire rivals.....Doncaster, Rotherham, Bradford and Barnsley.
I need to see some of the new players in action before deciding who to back with some money.

Please check I've got this right for each of you.

AmChaff - for your FA Cup goals, after giving it three coats of looking at, I'm still not sure if you mean that if Town make it to say the 4th Round
A) - you're pledging £2+£3+£4 = £9, or
B) - you're pledging £4

We all know we won't get passed the first round so it won't matter anyway.

Thanks all for the pledges so far folks, good luck.

RE: Players for Pounds 2025-2026 - Amelia Chaffinch - 01-08-2025

It'll be A. It's cumulative. £9 in total for rounds 2, 3 and 4.
I.e., there'll already be £5 in my total and I'll be adding £4 to it. Does it make sense? Like you say, let's see how we get on before we worry it.   Laugh

Points-a-plenty from the first game v the O's Big Grin

Town do the unbelievable and not only get, but score our first home penalty in 5 seasons. AmChaff is off the mark, as is her sidekick Snoots as it was May that scored. Big scorer of the day is jjamez who nets two goals by new players and one by a furriner. Now Joe Low is a Taff but I'm not holding that against him. He has the same Passport as me and thee so I count him as one of us, however it's jjamez's money not mine so it's his call.

RE: Players for Pounds 2025-2026 - jjamez - 03-08-2025

Nope he's as Welsh as I am and I have a non foreign passport. Dion Charles the same. Although might not have to worry about him scoring...
