To follow on from my previous thread, this season I am cycling to all of Sutton's away league matches to help raise money for our Football Development Plan. This is Sutton United's plan to build community football facilities not just for our own use but for all the good burghers of Sutton 
and including facilities for disabled footballers and for the development of women's and girls' football. It's a very ambitious project, but with a lot of fundraising and goodwill, there's no reason why it shouldn't come to fruition! (To see more on the FDP, please visit www.suttonunited.net/community_fdp_menu.html).
In addition to this, I now have a page of my own: www.suttonunited.net/community_cyclepledge.html, where you can see how many miles I've done so far and how much money has been raised, as well as a blog detailing my adventures to date (if you can describe a journey to Tooting and Mitcham's ground as an adventure).
If any of you lovely people would like to sponsor me, I would be eternally grateful
You can make a pledge as a lump sum or, if you prefer, you can sponsor me a certain amount per mile, per game, amount of time I remain alive, whatever you like. The total distance to all the league grounds is 812 miles, but be warned, the total mileage may be a bit more than that as this is the total of all the trips if made in one direction only, and some will be return trips.
So far I've visited 2 grounds, with the third being tomorrow night at Hastings...in the rain, no doubt

It is a good excuse to take Friday off work
