There's QPR Report..... Strange date. And then there's the Official Site....  92 CLUBS IN 92 HOURS Posted on: Tue 19 May 2009 A group of football-mad supporters, including QPR nut Stephen Howe, begin a 92 hour journey into the unknown on Wednesday evening. Howe, along with fellow Rangers fans Anthony Crick and Paul Martin, as well as Liverpool supporter Dean Evans, will visit all 92 Premier League and Football League Clubs in a 92 hour journey, covering some 2,450 miles. In association with General Motors and www.cowpr.com, the quartet will begin their quest at 9.00pm at Watford's Vicarage Road ground tomorrow (Wednesday) night. The big question is why? Well, the quartet will be raising money for Cancer Research UK, a charity very close to Howe's heart, following the loss of his mother Brenda, to the disease in 2002. Howe told http://www.qpr.co.uk: "I wanted to raise money for Cancer Research just for the fact that I know what a fantastic job they all do and also because I lost my mother to Cancer and I know how badly it can affect people. "If I can say that I did my bit to help the cause, then I will be happy. I would just love that bit to be a big wad of cash by raising as much as possible." Loftus Road will be the thirteenth Club the quartet visit, with an estimated arrival time of 03.08am on Thursday morning! All 92 Clubs have been approached to donate something to the cause, big or small, with the signed shirts, footballs etc, due to be auctioned at a Charity Event later this year.

It's a mammoth task!
Paul's time keeping is awful lol so hopefully he'll get it done! He's the one in the hooped shirt who's been a ST holder for well over a decade I would have thought - upper loft - with my uncle and his older brother. Goes home and away and stays well out of any internet cack that goes on - albeit he reads all boards and posts on dot.org every now and then.
Would like to point out that Vauxhall actually donated the motor! Dunno how they wrangled that, and they lent it to them with a full tank of petrol which is a bonus.
I'm too scared to call or text him in case he's on his sleeping shift!

"92 Clubs...92 Hours...2,450 Miles" now COMPLETED !
First of all, let me personally thank my top draw mates who accompanied me on the trip, Paul Martin, Dean Evans and Anthony Crick for their solid support and for a fantastic last 4 days in playing their part for the fundraiser.
It really meant a lot, and I know that by the end of the trip, you all were absolultely shattered, but still carried on to get the job done. Thanks EVER so much lads, you really were fantastic and could never ever have done the trip without you.
At 04:00 this morning, we FINALLY finished our epic 2,450 mile "92 Clubs...92 Hours" trip.
To visit Gillingham FC knowing that it was our last club to visit, was an extremely pleasing site.
The time that Gillingham FC was visitied meant that all 92 League clubs had been visited in a total of just 79 Hours, an effort that the team is extremely pleased with.
The times and dates below are for the last update of how we got to reach Gillingham FC at 04:00 hours this morning.
82) Chesterfield FC - 23rd May 2009 @ 18:01

Congratulations again 24 May 2009 A Big Personal Thankyou to Terry Hollingshead (aka QPR Terry) The "92 Clubs...92 Hours...2,450 Miles" fundraiser is far from over. Above, is a picture of the "Bar 2 B" football team who played The Bell Mullet in a charity football match at Harrow Borough FC back on 9th May 2009. Although Bar 2 B lost 3-1, the whole day was a big success incorporating the match in the morning and then the fun continuing at Bar 2 B, Ruislip Road, Greenford with raffles and a BBQ and raised £1,500 to the cause. The man responsible for this was Terry Hollingshead (top middle in pic), a good friend of all members of the "92 Clubs...92 Hours" team. On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone involved in the day, but particularly Terry for his organisation of the event and his tireless good work ensuring that the day went off well. Terry, absolutely fantastic job mate, well done and a massive thankyou. |
