A really good video. Donated - and for Charlotte too.
I’ve signed up for the testing but telephoned the organisers to cancel, as I was going to struggle to make my revised time of 10:00am. The lady I spoke to very helpfully said that they appreciate the difficulties that can arise from the earlier kick-off, are taking a flexible attitude and that I should just get there when I could and they’d process me.
I don’t know how accurate this BBC article is on the efficacy of home testing but, if there’s anything in it, it’s a good reason to sign up or get a blood test at your GP’s.
Another good result for fundraising on Tuesday, as well as for our league position, means that the tally is now £19 Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5
A hard fought point at Stockport thanks to a clean sheet takes the running total up to £21 Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Stockport (A): 1pt + clean sheet, no goals, no academy bonus = £2 Hopefully tonight's match at Crawley will be more lucrative, with 3 points coming our way.
Tuesday night's win at Crawley takes the tally to £26 Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Stockport (A): 1pt + clean sheet, no goals, no academy bonus = £2 Crawley (A): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5
If we can manage to beat Wigan at home tomorrow then that'll take the running total up to at least £30, which covers the full cost of one PSA test.
Just a quick reminder that you can still sponsor both Tracey and Charlotte for their efforts. Tracey has beat her target, but Charlotte could do with a bit of a boost:
Saturday's win against Wigan means the running total is now up to £31, which is more than the full cost of one PSA test, or two contributions to cover the shortfall between the amount participants pay and the actual cost. Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Stockport (A): 1pt + clean sheet, no goals, no academy bonus = £2 Crawley (A): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Wigan (H): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5
Only 3 days until the testing day! FYI You do not need to bring your booking form, as we will already have a printed copy to process you with. See you Saturday and thank you all again for kind support and donations.
anyone know the closest you can park to the ground?
I'd try Harvey Gardens if it's 9.30 but they do have stewards closing entry a few hours before KO. Alternatively if that's no good or you don't want to risk hassle I'd park in Charlton Lane. Check the signs but you can park for 2 hours in most bays.

I opted for a home test kit last year, however it was one where I sent my blood sample off to the same lab that the match day samples went. I think the problem is the ones that are like the Covid tests.
Well the Peterborough game was a damp squib in fundraising terms as well as the actual result, but the team have one last chance tomorrow to make me fork out more cash, and hopefully they'll take it.
Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0 Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9 Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Stockport (A): 1pt + clean sheet, no goals, no academy bonus = £2 Crawley (A): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Wigan (H): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5
Peterborough (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0
Charlotte has had a couple of generous donations over the last few days, but is still a little way off her target, so if anyone is feeling flush, you can donate here: https://www.goodhub.com/go/runcharrun
When I left at 12.25 there were only 8 people who hadn't showed up and the queue rarely got longer than 5 or 6 people, more often people could walk straight into a booth.
Good to see so many familiar faces from CL.
Only complaint I heard was that some the the testing staff were Millwall fans.
Massive thanks to everyone who attended today. Thinking of you as you get your results tomorrow.
@Henry Irving you were a godsend. Here at 9am till 12.30pm and only a 5 min break! You can come again 🤣 but seriously without your help it wouldn’t have run so smoothly.
Well, that was a pleasingly expensive day - the final tally is as follows:
Birmingham (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0
Exeter (H): 3pts + 3goals + TC & ML goal bonus + clean sheet = £9
Orient (A): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5
Barnsley (H): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Stockport (A): 1pt + clean sheet, no goals, no academy bonus = £2 Crawley (A): 3pts + 1goal + clean sheet, no academy bonus = £5 Wigan (H): 3pts + 2goals, no academy bonus, no clean sheet = £5 Peterborough (A): no points, no goals, no clean sheet = £0
Huddersfield (A): 3pts + 4goals + double TC goal bonus + clean sheet = £10

Henry was only there because he wanted one of the syringes for the Museum.

Blood was taken by a Millwall fan, one of a few there apparently.
