Jimmy & Jack Statue Fund: The final push

Some great news from the Jimmy & Jack Memorial Fund, as they have confirmed that they have reached £101,000 – leaving just a further £1,000 to raise.

Thanks to a generous donation of £1,500 from the former players’ association, in addition to the fans’ ongoing support in the drive to raise funds, we are on the home straight in terms of meeting the overall total and begin proceedings to bring Jimmy Sirrel and Jack Wheeler home.

It is hoped that we can achieve this by calling on fans to get behind our Christmas online donation campaign and join the "This One is for Jack" Pub to Club walk on Sunday 10th January 2016 - the sixth anniversary of Jack's passing.

“This one is for Jack” starts at the Wollaton Pub and Kitchen at 12:30pm, with entry costing £5 with the option to raise additional funds through sponsorship. Entry forms can be found in the club shop or on the Jimmy & Jack table on match days.

To donate to the Jimmy & Jack Statue Fund Christmas Appeal, the details are as follows:

Bank account name: Jimmy & Jack Statue Fund
Sort code: 40-08-46
Account number: 81848178

It really looks as if 2016 will be the year that Jimmy and Jack will come home – with your help, we can finally cross the line and elevate Notts County’s greatest ever managerial duo to immortality right outside Meadow Lane!

    It didn't half cheer me up when I was told I had been the first sign up, I also know @magpiejue considering it and hopefully so will other PON members.

    Despite my dodgy knees, I am always keen to support whatever I can and I felt proud when I achieved walking the full distance for the last J&J walk, from the pub Jimmy used to visit as his local all the way to Meadow Lane (despite not long having dislocated my knee) - It was good fun and I met some new fans.

    I am also pleased to see that it's edging all the more closer, so hopefully Lisa can retire soon because she and all the committee have done brilliantly.

    Oh and I think @super_pie may do this walk with me. :D
