Evening all, A massive thank you for everyone's work so far on this the offers of help and kind words have been truly unreal that I have received! Because of Oh Heck C-Beck who offered his help and also runs the twitter account on the schemes behalf we now have a website which we hope to add as many photos as possible on presenting tickets to the kids, attendance at games, who knows maybe even a few photos with the players as well as updated information as much as possible thus helping spreading the word and growing the scheme Please take the time to look at what your donations are already starting to do for us http://latics4life.wordpress.com/ Many thanks Deano

100% agree with that

Bloody hell what club was that? I hope that you all like us Gooner's a little more now

To all those who have or are intending on sending cheques please can I ask that you just send me a quick PM when the cheque is on its way I have received a cheque at home today but without the reference of who you are on here I cant pinpoint who it is that has sent this or the site. Also if you sending a cheque I will acknowledge receipt of this via a message on here so you are aware when it will be cashed and we will be able to make sure no cheques get lost in our forever unrealiable postal system Many thanks Dean

Hi Leeslover I tried to PM you but says you can receive messages?

Christies logistically would be great Singe as well looking at the location of just how close it is to BP would help with transporting issues as mentioned above That is if im looking at the correct place?

Just having a look like the idea of Christies if thats what the charity does and definetley think the kids would apprecaite Chaddy maybe doing something with them but this of course is in the club hands so i can say anything and i certainly wont be dressing up as Chaddy anytime soon lol The above its what this is about giving kids who actually deserve the treat and taking them and their parents mind of the worry just for even a few hours and making them enjoy themselves as every child imo deserve that I have my 1st due end of September and doesn't bare thinking about illness so im not the kind to sit back really I would rather be able to say that we and its far from me this as without the money it wouldnt happen are the ones who made their 2 hours, day or weekend

Just checked 31 tickets so far and I have been offered 5 more by way of cheque and other offers, fingers crossed that comes off I am far from greedy this has exceeded what we thought we would get and everyones kind words have made this worth while and given me the drive to keep it going

Hi sorry been at football tonight, at last count I think it was enough for 31 kids to have season tickets so in effect £310 in what was 30 hours since the scheme started As stated I am in talks with the club and I am due to meet a few of the Oldham Trust and hopefully officials at the club before the Stevenage game when I am coming up As soon as the charity is decided rest assured you will know about it With regards to the sponsership of the scheme any company that can donate funds will get their name mentioned rest assured on Twitter and of course on here (should they want it) we are hopeful of creating a website for this and will be of course advertising space on their we can give Thank you for the kind offer Andy, any idea how much the company maybe willing to donate?

More enquiries coming through about other payment methods than paypal seem to be coming through via pm Cheques can be taken and happy to provide my address but not on the forum pages, you can as well pay in cash if you really want to be nice to meet the people behind the names and personally thank you As for the paypal payments I am working through thank you all individually but its a long task Wether its £1, £10 or £30 its all counting The club are now aware of this and hoping for more exposure hopefully sooner rather than later

Hi wardle I dont have your number but should you PM me it I will call you at 1pm today or I have sent you my number to call

Still looking for a suitable charity I know asked a few times but any suggestion will be welcome More donations have been made overnight, thank you For those of you who have asked, I will be planning my 1st game of the season and 5 hour round trip lol v Stevenage on 25th August, anyone who would like to discuss ideas about this is of course more than welcome I belive that the Rifle Range is the place best to meet for this The above weekend is also when i intend on presenting the 1st batch of ST's to the local football club so that they get full benefit and hopefully the charity we can meet with when selected None of this would be possible without you and a massive thanks to the guys doing the social media stuff on behalf of the scheme

I will pm you the details mate a few are paying via cheque

I now know who has created it someone who offered to help me I dont understand but says 305 people like it incuding a lot of the playing squad, the marketing guys oh and Lord Sugar lol Maybe someone can explain?

Glad everyone is buying into this we are over 30 season tickets in less than one day! Donations will be made hopefully next Friday before 1st league game of the season Oh if Mo Farah wins the 5000meters i will donate another £10.... Come on Mo, how do I check the @laticsforlife twitter account? Thanks again 24hoursfromtulsehill

Brilliant can't thank you enough I will check the account to see if any more money, i might even check twitter to see that

+1 Lol I have exceeded my likes for a day

I dont really know how Twitter works but anyone has got it who could do the above would be grateful, how about matt chambers twitter as well seen as every Latics fan on here seems to follow him by sounds of it lol Maybe someone could do this and let me know

Thank you apprecaited I spoke to the club's ticket office only this morning in fact and they have suggested a few methods how to get around this but the ones for the football club may have to be brought up front we are currently discussing this Would possibly be a massive help if someone could put this on the clubs facebook link and on twitter which i dont have? Just to update you all this morning we have had in excess of £200 donated to this cause which will hopefully make over 20 kids day even if its just seen Chaddy Owl every other week

Thank you to the company who just pledged to donate £100, I will not mention the name unless the person who knows who it is wants me to

Good morning all, As per discussions on previous topics I am pleased to confirm that 'Latics for Life' initiative scheme is now open, a new account has been set up in the name of 'Latics for Life'. Paypal payments can be sent to laticsforlife@live.co.uk Please if you are donating make sure you send the payment as a service that way we won’t lose any money and benefit fully The intention is simple to raise money to help build our fan base of under 16's by purchasing ST for kids at AFC Oldham Local football club and we are in hoping to find a suitable charity for disabled kids that we can also send this to. http://www.leagueweb...8366&team=83142 AFC Oldham can be found on the link below, after discussion with them they are going to be giving the tickets away to the hardest trainers in their club as MOM awards after games with the hope that their friends will then also buy tickets. Once again thank you for everyone’s help and generosity! Any question please feel free to PM me Deano
