horsefly 4,303 Posted August 23, 2023 Let's hope he gets a rousing chorus of "There's only one Nathan West" when he takes to the pitch at Carrow Road. He deserves it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted August 23, 2023 Even 1 or 2 Ipswich fans have donated to it seems...this is brilliant stuff...football coming together and winning...the cancer charity wins...and Westy wins...heart warming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,461 Posted August 23, 2023 £49120 donated. My goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted August 23, 2023 Seems it’s destined for £50k, great stuff from the wider football community - it’s mostly £5s and £10s here and there from folk who just want to support a fellow supporter who’s a decent guy doing his thing for charity. Great to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,461 Posted August 23, 2023 £50k breached. I keep saying it, but this has flabbergasted me. A lovely, lovely story. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminally Yellow 2,461 Posted August 25, 2023 £56k with multiple donations still coming in hourly. There's every chance this might reach £60k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) 28 minutes ago, A Load of Squit said: Top Man! Quality effort, that lad. He just missed a 1:45, so he's clearly not cut corners in his prep. Well done!Run Kent - Tonbridge Half Marathon, 10k & 5k - 1st October 2023 (runthrough.co.uk) EDIT: For those wondering about "gun time" and "chip time", the gun time is a runner's time to finish the course from when the starting pistol is fired to when they cross the line. Many races will have chips on the race number or be fastened around the shoe laces which are tripped when the runner crosses the start line and again at the finish for the time they are actually on the course. Otherwise anyone starting way back is counted as having started the race when the gun went, and they're not on the course yet.

Fifty 45 Posted October 1, 2023 Have just come here via the EDP article. 1:46 is a brilliant bit of running for a debut half and sounds like not the flattest of courses either. Also pretty warm out there today. Hope it gets even more sponsorship and fantastic all round from Westy. Sounds like he’s running Bungay half next year so will definitely re-enter in 2024 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
