Fighting Poverty by scoring goals...with Simon Church

edited July 2014 in General Charlton
So I've decided that based on the number of goals Simon Church scores next season I will donate a gift to a family living in poverty, I'm hardly a wealthy bloke in fact I'm still a student so the amounts are rather modest based on what I can actually afford, but I thought this would be fun and do some good.

5 goals - I'll buy a share in a farmyard worth £5 (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/animal-lovers/share-in-a-farmyard-ou8026ml)
10 goals - I'll buy chickens worth £10 (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/animal-lovers/chickens-ou8003ml)
20 goals - I'll buy a goat worth £25 (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/animal-lovers/goat-ou8010ml)
25 goals - I'll buy a goat couple worth £50 (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/animal-lovers/goat-couple-ou8011ml)

N.B. All League Cup, FA Cup and Championship goals (inc. Play-offs) are included.

You're all witnesses and you have my word on this. I'm not sure what the process of purchasing these things is, but when I do I'll post some proof at the end of season. Feel free to do the same, with Churchy or another player of your choice.

    I'm guessing that no one will be seeing any goats...

    Edit: nice gesture though!

    I'll do the same, but for Nick Pope.

    I genuinely hope they do, but I'm not holding my breath.

    If church scores 10 goals for us il make £500 worth of paintings to be sold and donated here..

    http://www.lsufoundation.co.uk/

    If he is part of 10 goals, so assists and actual goals il donate £200 which is enough to put 1 child through school for 12 months. That includes books, clothes and 1 meal week.

    What is the difference between a goat worth £25 and a goat worth £50 ?
    (apart from £25 quid)

    Is it bigger/older / younger / more milky / more meaty ?

    If he doesn't score any, I'll sponsor the transplant of a goat's leg to replace his spongefoot.
