Ben Steppel Memorial Match

[Dean Bradford]

Thanks so much for all your support guys - it really is appreciated.

Bognor Regis Town FC have been in contact with me this evening after hearing of our interest in a memorial match so will hopefully have some more news very shortly.

Please continue to pledge your support for either playing or helping out in any other way - it really is appreciated.

[Fingers]

Was speaking to Gareth (ex Rusty G) last night and he very much wants to be involved in whatever is arranged.

[Roy Grantham]

[Big Sus]

Would love to be involved if required. May even be able to supply a kit.

Would love to be involved. Corresponded with Ben for his last season while i was writing Midhurst's reports. Would be great to help

Just to update everyone in case you thought it had gone a bit quiet - I am still waiting for confirmation of some details from Bognor, who I suspect are also waiting for info at their end. As soon as I know anything I will post it here.

And I have a £500 donation for a kit from '[removed!]'.

He'd pay anything to get a game...

That is fantastic news and very generous. Is there anyone out there prepared to help with actually getting the kit. I don't know about anybody else but I think it needs to be in the site livery of yellow, white and navy blue in some combination, preferably with the 'Nomad' logo. Presumably different manufacturers have a range of designs.

I did actually contact the Chichester Observer and asked whether they would be interested in sponsoring the kit, perhaps even with Ben's name. I haven't heard back for a week so will follow this up.

I will also chase Bognor and see how things are developing as there isn't a lot of time. The kit is a major boost though - can we get it sorted out in time. The provisional date was Sunday 15 July, but this still has to be confirmed formally.

[Geoff]

Kit will be sorted in time but £500 is a tight budget so if anyone wants to stump up for a 'club badge' on the shirts please feel free! The price includes GK kit, numbering and donaters logo.

The kit I'm looking at for a very good quote is yellow/blue/yellow in varying degrees of the design and is Pro Star (2007). Will keep you posted.

good job young geoff now back to the pub (work)

[Nomad]

If the donator has a logo to add as sponsor then that's fine and entirely apppropriate, although as mentioned above I had also asked the Observer if they might be interested (albeit unlikely).

With regards the Nomad logo, I am happy to pay for that as long as it is not too pricey (cheapskate that I am).

Keep me posted re: designs. It would nice to have something a little unusual if the budget stretches to it ... albeit not those something as vile as we saw in the 80s

[Geoff]

Nah this isn't a 'trendy' type kit. And if we had another sponsor thats fine, their name could go above the numbers on the back. I'll let you know regarding a Nomad badge.

just a thought but how about the players who play for nomad donate a small amount to cover the cost of the nomad badge
