nutty nigel 7,509 Posted April 17, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 36 of our Rays Funds For The Academy season. This week we have another of our long serving PUPs with MethCanary in charge and making the final selections. Meth has been in top form this season often searching the lesser known European leagues to give a different selection for consideration. In fact his selection Viktoria Plzen from the Czech league was part of Norfolkchance1’s winning six 2 weeks ago. I think Meth is the man to produce our first ever hat-trick of wins after Norfolkchance1’s win was followed up by NewYork last weekend. Meth will need all our help to make history so don’t forget for your selection to be eligible for the final six it must be listed on Bet365 website and played on Saturday/Sunday/Monday. Last week’s win was the 9th this season taking the season’s winnings nearly £382. With 5 weeks left maybe we can get to at least £400. Here are the details of this season’s wins : - Win week 4 (Scooby)18.68Win week 5 (Mandy)53.85Win week 9 (Mr Bump)39.77Win week 10 (Kathy)30.9Win week 12 (Tilly)60.84Win week 21 (Wazzy)37.51Win week 28 (Leeds)35.15Win week 34 (Norfolkchance1)67.57Win week 35 (NewYorkCanary)37.64Season''s Total381.91 Now I was at Carrow Road last night to see the U18’s finish the job and get to the FA Youth Cup final. This is a wonderful achievement by our youngsters and something you PUPs should be very proud to have contributed towards. I know the club are in a very healthy financial position now but that wasn’t always the case during these lad’s development. So the £2,000 from us added to FONCY’s magnificent support in the past has definitely made a difference. I thought you may be interested in Paul Standley’s report on the FONCY web site linking this season’s success with the U15’s win in Belgium 3 years ago : - http://foncy.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=165:city-u18s-reach-youth-cup-final-three-years-after-belgium-win&catid=37:academy-news&Itemid=58 So now I’ll hand the thread over to MethCanary. 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 Stephen ... the Rays Funds Thread is yours....... [:)]......

MethCanary 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Cheers for that Eddie, as I said to you earlier I will do my utmost(with the help of the PUPs) to make it a hat-trick.Everyone says it but it is truely an honour to do the final picks. I''d like to start things off with my pick which isSparta Prague to win away at Banik in Czech Republic.Good Luck to all PUPs and keep those picks coming, I''ll do the pick Friday evening.MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Nutty I''ve sent you a PM.I''ve found, I think, a decent value pick in Japan this week. Only problem is its Saturday morning, 11:00 so if that''s an issue I''ll happily swap. But league leaders who have won all six games played this season, Yokohama F. Including two away from home (scoring eight) visit 14th placed side (out of 18) Albirex Niigata who have lost both their home games so far this season. Bit of a risk, but after six in six I Andy the away side, and at odds of 5/4!Albirex Niigata vs Yokohama F. - Away win!Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
