Queens Park Rangers support the BTFC Appeal
Young Chrissy Robson with Mekele Leigertwood
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"
