What Will Your Chairman Do For Money?

League Two chairmen are beginning to up the stakes to get their clubs fans to back the Coca-Cola Buy A Player promotion.

With clubs chasing prizes of up to £250,000, chairmen have started to make personal offers to secure fans support. Stockport chairman Norman Beverley will get the club crest tattooed on his arm if the fans can raise £50,000 through the promotion, while Grimsby supremo John Fenty is playing a little safer and will shave his head if the club secures the top prize.

Quite what Graham Turner will do for money will probably raise some debate, but can this reporter suggest he gives Jon Wallis a game if the Bulls prize fund gets to £50.

Top of the prize earners at the moment is Celtic, with £9, with the Bulls yet to register a prize.
