What do people think about this other charity match BFC are putting on?

going to feature Chris Waddle, Clint Marcelle, John Hendrie and Peter Beagrie. They will play a team of "celebrities" including Journey South, a couple of Blue Peter presenters and Junior Witter on Saturday 12th May.

I think the supporter's trust one definately sounds more appealing and will be attending even if, god forbid, I see us get relegated at WBA the day before, because I want to see those legendary Barnsley players. Not going to see some failed singers and a Wednesday player.

 

As both are to raise money for Charity then they are both important.

The one on the 12th May is to raise funds for Sheffield Children's Hospital. Being rather biased here, cash raised helps give ill children a fighting chance of a quality and quantity of life that other local hospital's are unable to provide.
