Guest Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 I thought it was a nice touch that the players brought their kids on the pitch beforehand and also that Donny players who had so much to worry about gave them a tunnel of applause. Feel sad for Donny to go down. Blackpool , millwall or B'ham deserved relegation more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narborough_fox Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Love our owners so much. What a gesture from them, and what an effort from the 'Text Ellis' team to make it to all 23 away games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Spoke to Ellis's dad after the game, he said he didn't know about this before it was announced on the pitch. Absolute heroes, the pair of them. He's cycling to Brussels (dancing in the streets of Anderlecht) next spring and wants as many City fans as possible to join him. Get on it!

Guest ttfn Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Perhaps I'm being a bit of a cynic, but putting your hand in your pocket for £45k when you've just spent £45 million on a plane is hardly going to put them in the running for Philanthropist of the Year. Fantastic effort from the dad and his mates though, that really is absolutely incredible and I really hope it works out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic effort from the dad and his mates though, that really is absolutely incredible and I really hope it works out for them. He could have just stuck with the 23k or nothing at all. He didnt have to up it to 45k. How can you be cynical of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Great gesture from the owners. Listening to the Dad at half time you could hear his emotion. I'm so pleased for him and he deserves every penny he's raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Oh boy tell someone isn't moaning about 45k???? I wrote a long post to explain further but I decided I couldn't be arsed, if you read my post it's obvious I'm not complaining; I just don't think it's quite as remarkable a gesture as people are saying.

MPH Posted 3 May 2014 Share Posted 3 May 2014 Donny were shit and they have been all season so they do deserve to go down and it's not our fault that the did. Reason why I feel sorry for Donny is that they were winning 3-1 at Charlton when the game was abandoned. Whole game was replayed which they lost. Had the original result stood, or at least the first half and just the 2nd half played as has happened in the past, they could very well still be in this division.
