Bit ironic at the moment isnt it with our small crowds and lack of atmosphere ?.I'd be more incouraged to sponsor him if he came over to Love Corner and sang non stop for 90 minutes.If he does this,heres goes..... I'll will bid £100.I dont expect others to follow but maybe they could donate a quid or two if he manages to do it

I'm with BigBee £10 from me if he non stop sings and ear tugs when we score (except HT)
 

Children in need

agreed. tenner to sing your heart out.

post response for email to arrange collection.
 

Children in need

You can have £10 off me. "Sing your hearts out for the lads!"
 

Children in need

We don't need more silence. £100 from me to sign his little heart out. E-mail me after the game and tell me where to send the cheque.
 

Children in need

Whoops. Should be "sing"
 

Children in need

Bob stay quiet for halftime let alone during a game the mind boggles even winning a corner sets him of
 

Children in need

According to the above posts if Bob sings rather than stays silent, he will raise at least £230.

I hope he does sing becuase the crowd need livening up at the mo and Children In Need is a good cause.

Now we've had to endure poxy drums and tannoy music during the games at other venues so wouldn't it be great if PeterG could lend Bob a mic' and plug him (and therefore the crowd around him) into the tannoy system so that the effort can be appreciated by the whole ground (Who just might be get the urge to join the odd ditty).
 

Children in need

Ok you lot.(you have not heard me sing before have you!!)
I thought being silent might be a little different,singing for my club is easy.

Singing for 90min is a long time so i must have a break at half time.I need more cash.Keep the offers comming in and I WILL sing for 90mins and tugg my ear everytime we score.

It is for a good cause and maybe the Club will contribute as well.
SO COME ON YOU BEES FANS sponsor me and make my sore throat worth having.
 

Children in need

Peter G ,could the club get involved in this with its support and a piece in the proggie ?? Could we also organise collection points around the ground by the exits or have collectors come around at half time with collection tins ?? The latter maybe safer for collectors than standing around by the pavements with hopefully lots of cash.I think it should be advertised in advance so people are more aware,also request people to join Bob in Love Corner to sing to support his cause and our cause, BFC'S atmosphere
 

Children in need

Im still going !!

Children in need

one of the best thingsa bout surporting brentford has got to be the way inniatives like this actually can happen and can become endorsed by the club.

The official website agin highlights Bob's effort and says:

SING YOUR HEART OUT FOR THE KIDS - 10
November 2000

Be warned that tomorrow afternoon Bob Winstanley is raising funds for the BBC’s
Children in Need Appeal by singing in support of the Bees non-stop, with the exception of half time. He is still seeking sponsors. So if you do hear him singing, support him financially by pledging some funds for this most worthy of causes, AND maybe even join in for the other most worthy of causes…the success of Brentford Football Club!!
bob all the best for tomorrow, I'rll be in the paddock but hopefully the stewards will let me pop over.

Don't forget to have a drink handy, an air horn might assist your vocal cords by giving them a rest. Can I also suggest that like marathon runners that you you utilise a pacer, In this case people who can take over the song starting for 10 minutes. (its hard enough to sing through-out a game with out having to raise your voice to start the chant).

GOOD LUCK
