nutty nigel 7,509 Posted March 20, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 32 of our Rays Funds For The Academy season. This week we have GMF in charge and making the final selections. Gary has been with us for 4 seasons now and is a very consistent picker. He''s also a very good poster on the board in general and although not by any means a heavy poster Gary always gets here with his selection each week. Gary comes into his week in the best of form too having picked right in each of the last 5 weekends. But good as Gary is he will need us PUPs to supply him with the right ammunition for him to be successful. Last week you PUPs were terrific and gave Pete every chance and he was subsequently unlucky because that last minute penalty was all it was that prevented another win. Now this weekend is international weekend so we need your picks in as soon as you can because there are fixtures on the Friday evening that we want to include so Gary is going to make his selections on Friday lunchtime. I’m going to set the fixtures that kick off from 6pm Friday as our starting point and would ask you all to have your selections ready for Gary’s consideration by Friday morning. Of course there’s no obligation to select from the International list but we’ve made the decision to put the bet opn early this week so that you can include them if you want to. Don’t forget as always for your selection to be eligible for the final six it must be listed on Bet365 website. So now I’ll hand the thread over to GMF. 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 Gary ... the Rays Funds Thread 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,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,3, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary,2, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo, Mr Bump, Kathy, Til1010 yes Norfolkchance1 £1932 for the Academy,so far.
