Help the Museum buy a 1934/35 Division Three Champions Medal - Unashamed plea for your money.

Henry Irving

The medal, as pictured and described below, has come up for sale and is available to the Museum for £1500.

It is not something that is ever likely to come up again so we want to secure it for the future.

But to do that we need some help. Not going to go into a "the club should buy it, Roland's a billionaire, blah,blah, blah" debate.

The museum is independent of the club and doesn't get funding from the club, End of.

The museum needs your help. If you can afford a little or a lot then great, if not, then that's good too.

Thanks in advance

Good question. We'll either return the money to you if we can't buy it or top up the amount from our own funds.

As I understand it the medal is ours if we can find the money

Make that two thirds of the way there. Now come on guys, save me the other third please ;-)

Henry Irving

Wow, £1,000 total now thanks to Bob Munro.

Don't leave him to pay all of the rest.

letthegoodtimesroll

The response to this and other appeals underlines just how much that this club is more than just a business engaged in football. I think that this has the potential to send out just as much of a powerful message as the protests.

Sark99

I have added £50 to the fund.

se9addick

Donated - let's get our medal !

Stewart

Slightly off topic (sorry), but the last time I went to the museum, you were selling that Home and Away 1905 - 2004 book. Are there copies still available? If so, how much?

charltonnick

Yes there are and they are £10

Curb_It

Made a small donation.

Henry Irving

Thanks, @Curb_It @se9addick and @Sark99

Cardinal Sin

£50 from me. Inspired as much by Bob's generous pitch.

StrikerFirmani

£20. Confident you will acquire the medal.

Henry Irving

£1180 is the current total but not sure if that includes @Cardinal Sin s £50

Fantastic response in less than 24 hours.
