Simply, elegantly, with dignity, and almost un-noticed, the Club Flag was flying at half-mast over yesterday's game.
I think it was for the Watford game too.
I will let you into a little secret, after the first few days of the fund went so well I set a personal target of 5k to raise (inc gift aid). As its been a good few days with no more donations, I have decided that I will close the donation page by midnight tomorrow and it will be at 5k by the time it closes. Would be fantastic if any of you could find a few pennies to push it to that figure but we are only £81 short so I will make up whatever is missing.
Thanks to everyone who has donated. I'm sure Mr Doughty is smiling somewhere up there.
Yep, they gave me the cold shoulder in the nicest way possible.
Did you contact them for a donation or to let them know that a group of fans, had off their own bat organised a collection which raised £5,000 in memory of their late owner?
I would have thought that this is exactly the kind of good publicity the club should be using in their favour.
They showed interest of helping us spread the word of the cause but that quickly dried up. I really didn't want to push it as this may have been a conscious decision following consultation with Nigel's family.
