Queens Park Rangers support
the BTFC Appeal
The Robins have to be
impressed with the great support shown by QPR players and management
and hopefully supporters. First team player Chris Robson was
invited to QPR after he sent a letter asking for support. Not
only did their management team offer to help with a call for
funding support in their programme but they have donated items
for fund raising and the players themselves have had a whip round.
At a time of great cynicism in the professional game it is a
delight to have been welcomed so warmly by the club and its players.
I think we all are now "hoops" supporters!
Donations
to the fighting fund can be sent to Buckingham Town FC Appeal
c/o 3 Lark Close, Buckingham, MK18 7EZ. Cheques payable to "Buckingham
Town FC Appeal"

in a sterling performance with a scratch squad but went down
4-1.

ever first team against Kempston.
