Sadly I posted it in another Town group (Huddersfield Town FC (Terriers)) and the only responses have been 1 like and a few comments about concentrating on the football and Americanisation of the game  it’s just a measure of where the 2 clubs are presently. I started posting on 2 Ipswich FB sites 24 hours ago and have had 300likes, donations, offers to greet us with a pint. We are very close to £15,000 now which is amazing. |

It's a massive effort and to be commended. Hopefully you'll raise a lot more yet.

Thanks to everyone that put a few quid in the bucket yesterday during our collection outside the ground. We raised a further £789 on the day. We are now at £16,000 with a few days to go. We’ll continue to raise awareness and push to reach our target of £20,000. Hope to see some of you at Ipswich. huddersfieldtownfoundation.enthuse.com/cf/biking-for-breakfasts-2024 |

When you think how much average players are on, £20,000 is nothing. I hope you reach and exceed the target. Fantastic effort.

We hope people will recognise, we are not a national charity with paid execs, just a bunch of random Town fans trying our best to support something in our area for our local families. Something positive to come out of this season. We will meet our target. We won’t stop pushing until we have. UTT! |

Every player should give 10% of their wages towards this course.
Fair play to Helik and Turton for contributing 🫡

If everyone on here gave a quid they’d do £20k. Come on, put the chaos of this weekend behind us, come together and do some good for our local community. |

People probably don’t realise, while we are supporting the Foundation breakfast clubs, the cycle ride has been organised and funded by the 18 cyclists. Each rider has paid £250 to cover the costs. 100% raised goes to the breakfasts. |

Last post on here before we depart from the stadium tomorrow at 7.30am, calling in at Dalton Junior School breakfast club, then off to Lincoln. A 70 odd mile cycle. To date we’ve raised £18,200. Thank you to everyone that is supporting the ride. Probably bored of hearing it now, but if you do want to sponsor us, please click the link. See you at Ipswich. huddersfieldtownfoundation.enthuse.com/cf/biking-for-breakfasts-2024 |

I really hope you will attract more support to reward your efforts Me too, but going by some of the responses on the Fakebook pages I've posted the link on, they shouldn't hold their breath. Especially the Town ones, plenty of wankers using the same phrases people on here did about the prize draw. IE "the club should be concentrating on other things" "why are the club doing this" "the club want us to fork out more money after that season" I've tried explaining how much work and effort has gone in by the participants, to no avail. |

A good day cycling and a few beers has been had by all. Lincoln to Cambridge tomorrow 101 miles. We were met at Sincil Bank by the Imps Foundation which makes the whole event worthwhile. Please donate to this fantastic cause UTT

Bitter people make bitter comments. This effort is so worthy of support. The Town Foundation is something for Town supporters to be proud about irrespective of the poor season Hi Pete, thank you for your comments and support. We have tried on numerous social media channels to raise awareness of the breakfast clubs and I believe we have succeeded. What we haven’t managed to do is convince Town fans that this is nothing to do with the Club, not that we should have to particularly. This is also not a Foundation organised or funded ride. We are simply 18 Town fans, from all walks of life and not all local, who have each covered the costs to do the ride, approx £250 each and all taken 3 days holiday to do it. What we are all 100% focused on is raising as much money as possible so that the local breakfasts clubs can continue to exist. The breakfast clubs are available to all children, whether they are eligible for free school meals or not. We’ll keep on posting till we have done the ride. Thx to everyone that has supported and we do understand if you don’t wish to but trust me, this has no effect on anything at the club. UTT! |
