nutty nigel 7,528 Posted August 29, 2012 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week three of Rays Funds. This week we have NWC in charge and making the final selections. NWC joined us last season when he finished the season with a magnificent 83% strike rate. Now this is NWC’s first time in the hot seat and good as he is he will need us all do our very best to help him pick the final six this weekend. Don’t forget for your selection to be considered it must be a game from this weekend’s fixtures and be listed on the Bet365 web site. Don’t forget you have only until Friday to get your Canary Challenge entries in and claim your BOGOF PUPs entry. Details are on INCSC web site. Here is the proposed rota for the rest of September. Mandie and Star have already confirmed but I need Scooby and Herman to confirm if the dates are ok. If they’re unsuitable I can easily make a change. September 8th - ScoobySeptember 15th - Mandie MooSeptember 22nd - HermanSeptember 29th - NCFCStar Don’t forget our presentation at Colney on the 8th Sept. The Reading game kicks off at 1pm and we will make our presentation at around 12:45. I hope some of you can make it. Thanks again to everyone who has made or pledged a donation. Maybe we will get 60 PUPs selecting this weekend. I think it was 57 last week after 55 in week 1. So now I’ll hand the thread over to NWC. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get your name in the Rays Funds Hall of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for our great clubs academy. Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Marcus ... the free bet is yours....... [:)]... As always I leave you with Rays signature which now reads :- Carve their names with pride.Yankee,4,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,3, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,2, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, yes Norfolkchance1 £1655 for the Academy,so far.
