The fundraising seems to be well on its way and should gain added momentum now that Craig Bellamy is lending added personal support. In my view, it will be more valued when the project is completed because of the time it has taken to raise the funds and the fact that most of the contributions seem to have come from ordinary fans and that a large benefactor did not come forward early on.

We're closing in on the £50,000 which includes the £15,000 pledgedby the council. The overall total need is £85,000 but it is hoped the artist can be commissioned to begin as we get nearer the total. This remains very much a fans initiative with great support from the staff at the club.
There is another bucket collection at the Reading game- hopefully everyone will be in a generous mood if we get a good result at Reading.
We are seeking volunteers to collect from around 6.15pm to five to 10 minutes before the start so people don't miss kick off. Any help gratefully received - email fundraising@ccfctrust.org to volunteer.
