We had 4 letters over the past 2 days, the first was from Salisbury City who inform us that they have a home game that day and we are welcome to go on the pitch from 6pm and they're lending us a shirt for the photos. Next up was Bolton Wanderers. I wasn't expecting positive responses from Premier League clubs due the huge amount of charity work they already do. Their letter surprised me, as they said they would be "delighted to supply us with a shirt". Cardiff City phoned up too and said that the groundsman is around on the Sunday afternoon and we will be allowed on the pitch and will be borrowing a Bluebirds shirt for the photos. Preston North End also phoned to inform us that they too can accomodate us and lend us a shirt for the promotional shots.
The Bad
Aston Villa "regret" they cannot support us due to the overwhelming number of requests. The next one is a cracker, I couldn't help but laugh at this one. The letter from Halifax Town reads as follows: "...we do not the stadium and our rent only covers us for admittance on match days." How bizarre. And finally Sheffield Wednesday replied with a letter which said they've suffered severe damage to the flooding. We do have permission to take photos outside their reception though. Tough situation for them.
The Ugly
We were also asked to do some promotional shots for the Herts Advertiser, these will be also be useful for the other media sources that are wanting to cover us. Thanks to Sophie for her expert photography skills here.
