Cherries Trust auction Fans' Champion Pacakge
On behalf of AFC Bournemouth, the Fans' Champion package for the home fixture v Chelsea on Saturday 28th October is being auctioned.
The Fans' Champion is normally nominated by fellow fans for the Champions life around being an AFC Bournemouth supporter, e.g. previous Champions have had long struggles against cancer whilst supporting AFC Bournemouth. The auction winner could still nominate someone to fulfil this package.
All funds raised will be donated to the supporters charity, Cherry Tree Nursery (http://www.cherrytreenursery.org.uk/). This game is also the nominated game for Cherry Tree Nursery.
The auction will close at midnight BST on Saturday 21st October. Any bids made after that time will be null and void, and deleted if appropriate. Email updates will be posted on a daily basis to those who wish to receive them, inclusive of those who have already bid. If you would like to follow the auction, but are not on social media, please register your interest at the email address listed below.
We are running the auction concurrently on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/cherriestrust/) and via email (enquiries@cherriestrust.co.uk) to give people who are non-Facebook users the opportunity to be involved also. Email bidders will have their bids confirmed by email before their bid is made public. Please direct any enquiries to the email address, and any comments that are not bids, other than those of page admin, will be removed to keep the bidding process clear to follow.
The winner, or nominated person, will need to already hold a ticket for the game. They will enter the ground and make their way to the technical area for 2.40pm and make themselves known to Michael Botto – the winner / nominated person would need to provide their name and some background beforehand for the club to help promote and for Michael Botto’s script. They then get to come out of the tunnel and place the matchball on the plinth. They will have their photo in the programme of the following game and the club will send a copy to the supporter too.
As this is the game closest to Remembrance Sunday the winner will be escorted out of the tunnel by two military personnel.
