" £13,000 RUNNING TOTAL FOR MIKEYS COLLECTION "

Tue Sep 13, 2011 8:21 am

Had a text of Vince and he must have spent all last night counting the money from the buckets we left with him. So far when it all adds up, Paypal site buckets and donations there is thirteen thousand pounds and more still coming in. There are also plans in place for a function to come together and have an auction and raffle in the near future.

It has never been about money, but to see such support and so many people contribute has been heart warming and must have given comfort to the family. It goes to show how popular and well loved Mikey was.

Haven't heard any plans about the funeral, but I'm sure we will find out soon enough in due course, that is going to be a real sad day and hopefully the family and close friends can get through it as best they can. :(

Staggering, this should really help the family financially in the short term.

Cardiff fans have really done Mikey proud

If you could let us know when the funeral is as I would like to change my avatar to a picture of the forum shirt as a mark of respect. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I wonder if the National Press would like to run with a goodwill story like this?

Great effort as usual from the great organisers of Cardiff City's fanbase and hopefully in a small way the amount raised will help the family through this awful time in their lives.

Gwyn,
Very much appreciated by the family. They've been overwhelmed by the reaction from people from far and wide. I work with Nathalie's brother, so I'll tell you the funeral arrangements sharpish. You're a good man and what you and others have done has been brilliant. Thanks, mate and I'll buy you a pint next time you're in Neath.

Such an amazing total. Very proud of everyone. I know money doesn't replace the loss of Mikey, but it certainly helps the family with funeral costs, etc. :ayatollah:
