Once again Independent Tykes announce...........
Wee Stevie
By Proudwillie
July 17 2013
After a titanic struggle against some of the word's largest corporations we are pleased to announce that the Independent Tykes messageboard (us) will be once again sponsoring Stevie McColl for the coming season.......
Last season we had high expectations for Stevie and I, for one, was not disappointed. Stevie established himself as one of the divisions most exciting attacking players . It was no surprise that opposing coaches nominated him for the Championship "dream team". The big surprise is that the club managed to secure his services for the coming season when many of us expected him to be poached by a premiership outfit.
It is fitting, therefore, that we reciprocate Stevie's loyalty to the club by sponsoring him again. If you would like to help with this sponsorship you can either use the paypal "Donate" button at thr top of the messageboard or pm me for other ways to get a piece of "Wee Stevie"
You are fantastic...........

I love this bit, battling with Gel for possession of buttocks!
By the way, did we get Stevie's shirt from last year for raffle?

Excellent news. As Zand said - what's happening with last season's shirt? I've a feeling it'd look good* on a slimmed-down Gel!

100% behind sponsoring Wee Stevie and my 2/6d out of my pocket money will be on it's way. I am intrigued as to how the sponsorship is split up and how the price is bartered, and, above all, what happens if we don't come up with the goods and WW has to fund the balance?
A second point: "TykesRugby" on the giant screen, but in a small font, doesn't have any impact. I am not a graphic designer but perhaps a day-glo hat coud mean so much more?

The club let me know who is available & what the price is. People contribute what they can afford - the average is £20. Stevie is £600 (inc VAT) so we need approx 30 donors. As we get within £30 of the target I close the fund. Until that time I nervously watch the total rising!

My 2000p's worth is winging it's way to you, electronically rather than physically, you will be pleased to note.
I await with baited breath and trepidation to learn which part of Stevie's anatomy I am the proud owner, or temporary custodian of.

That's his lower half up and running. But that isn't much good without hands, heart , lungs and brain so further contributions to the build are still needed.

Because of all the generous cash donations and pledges I received at Donny on Saturday I can announce that we have not only reached our target of £600 but we have a surplus which is halfway to sponsoring a SECOND player. We have only managed this once before.
I need 4 or 5 more people to donate to the sponsorship & then we will have ourselves one of the new graduates of the academy: Luke Cole.
If anyone wants a bit of Luke then post on here and I will arrange to meet you at the Ealing game.
Once again a big thank you to everyone who has donated this year. Your generosity never fails to amaze me.

You'll get the opportunity to see young Luke at first hand tomorrow at Wharfedale.
He's starting at hooker for the Greens in a side that also includes Georgiou at centre and Rob Baldwin at No.8
Could we worth a trip up the Dales if the weather is as nice as the forecasters are predicting
