Then if so, give yourself a massive pat on the back for more ways than one.
By selling so many shirts, we managed as part of the project to generate some decent sums in order to help (alongside the Protest Fund) a couple of excellent local charities.
One of those was the Charlton Park Riding School for the Disabled, who benefited from a £3,500 donation.
On Saturday, a few of us had the pleasure of attending a meet and greet to see how that money had been put to use. A whole new forecourt area had been laid. Previously, the area had ankle-deep holes that were dangerous, especially for kids with mobility issues, and filled up when it rained. They are immensely pleased with the paving that is safer and more pleasing to the eye. It looked fantastic.
A few pics below, with @TEL (who drove the project) and @AddicksAddict with John Furlonger from the Charlton Park RDA
Once again, thanks again to everyone whose purchases made these donations possible, and a special thanks to @TEL and the dozen or so posters on here who formed the 'Covered End Choir' and who successfully managed to bring this idea to fruition.

A worthy cause, though I'm sure it was only chosen so that you could sing
"Goodbye Horse"

Buying the shirt was the easy bit so a massive thank you to all involved in the project and so good to see the positive results for the riding school.
Looking forward to wearing my shirt on Sunday, sat in the east opposite KM, home made banner aloft!

Great to see the spin off from all the effort put in by so many.
well done to those organizers.1 -
The whole black and white protest and the merchandise was not for me but hats off to you all for the fund raising.
I may not agree with every thing that is said on this site and I hate all the bickering between the various forums but never ever let it be said that you guys don't do your bit for those that need help.
Well done to you all.

Do you think there'll be any appetite for an 'away' version of the shirt. It could be White n Black ...3

I don't always agree with everything done and said by CARD, but things like this show a level of class amongst its organizing committee that the current owners of our club can only dream of.
Good work.3 -
