While the Bulls make the trek to Gateshead, one Bulls fan will be getting back in the saddle to raise funds for Blackmarston School next weekend.
Bulls fan Stuart Hawker, who coincidentally became the Supporters Trust's 100th member on Friday, undertook a charity ride two years ago from Rhyl to Chepstow and is now going to take on an even longer journey from the Menai Bridge to the Severn Bridge, encompassing 200 miles of hilly roads.

Stuart is doing the ride for the school as his daughter Erin attends the only school in the county that helps pupils with severe, profound, and multiple learning difficulties. Blackmarston School was built for 40 pupils but now houses 70, and desperately needs more funds for specialist equipment for the new extension that is due to be completed in September.
Stuart, along with seven friends and fellow supporters, will start out on Friday morning in Bangor in an 85 mile ride to Welshpool. On Saturday, they will take in another 65 miles to Brecon, and on Sunday they will get to the Severn Bridge after another 46 miles.
