Guest GallowgateKev Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Lads and lasses, been having a little think and waiting until October to see some of you gorgeous faces just isn't happening... So my proposal is that we start our very own annual charity match in honour of John and Craig. All money raised would get split between two charities (families choice) and be an 11aside game hosted on a grass pitch somewhere in Newcastle. My thoughts are to have this game on Saturday 1st august, played between forum members and hopefully any ex players we can manage to get involved (or local celebs etc).. Think it would be a great touch and also a good laugh at the same time to remember two cracking lads. People's thoughts? Cheers, Kev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Far too early for that with Craig imo. Family havent even got closure yet never mind organising anything. Nice sentiment though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Lockwood Cup is October right? I'd probably only be able to make one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I would be inclined to keep things to the Lockwood Cup in October. Let's wait to see what happens with the Craig situation, something doesn't sit right organising something in his memory so soon after something we don't even know the full events of. Very nice sentiment obviously and certainly wouldn't doubt your willingness to get this sorted Kev. Just think it's best to wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GallowgateKev Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Cheers - Something to maybe look at in the future... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Great thought, just not the right timing IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I reckon the same as others. Maybe just an NUFC supporters charity match, like generally. Could dedicate it each year to well known, or big Newcastle fans...this year John and Liam, next year someone else... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 My team will defend their lockwood cup any time any palce 24 hours a day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I was involved in the first Lockwood Cup, which I thought was a great success. Don't see any reason to change that. Plus it was played outside the cricket season, which is always a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GallowgateKev Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It made no money for charity, that's the point of the post tbh. Not a place to get in to a debate just a thought, agree with Heza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's definitely a good idea. A couple of us had a brief chat over the weekend to the same effect. Just felt like we need to wait a bit for the outcome of the Craig case. Lockwood cup was great last year, looking forward to October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
