Charity Machines

[DAD]

The charity machines raised £1,255.20, including the generous donation from Neil McCrae
That's now gone to support the development of girls' football as requested by Chris Brim
Thanks to everyone who played them despite all the free alternatives on offer

How does that compare to other years?

20p ? who tried to get a game on a charity machine using a 20p. yer a tight bugger whoever you are

great tally though.

There was a lot of very happy kids playing machines this year, so could have been one of them. Or a desperate adult who only had their last 20p left but needed one more fix.

 

[DAD]

not as tight as whoever put in two of the old £1 coins!
fortunately I can pay them in to my account via the post office, so the money was not lost

Some comments from other coaches

Chris, I owe you £5.70 mate, which people had put in Deadpool and Lebowski (obviously mistaking them for pay to play machines).

The rogue 20p was a particularly amusing

 

[Big Phil]

I'll top it up to make it £1500

20p ? who tried to get a game on a charity machine using a 20p. yer a tight bugger whoever you are

great tally though.

My guess is somebody put in a 50p expecting that to be the price for a game - as it was in Electric Circus. I definitely saw machine with half a credit showing.
Next person sees the half credit and tries to bump it up with a 20p.

Or they could have just popped it in knowing it was all going to charity anyway.

Either way an amazing amount raised for charity.

Back when I was hard up I once sent the GF to work the museum steps one night she came back with £130.20p
I said which greedy bugger gave you the 20p she replied all of em
