Sorry if already posted but I thought I'd lob this in from Dave Mc which just got emailed thru
"......Talking of Spurs, I’ll be walking to Rangers’ game there from Loftus Road on October 30 as it’s Tiger Feet 3 – the latest sponsored walk to raise money for the QPR Tiger Cubs, a team for children with Down’s Syndrome.
The previous walks were to Watford last season and Crystal Palace the season before, with both games ending in important wins for Rangers - and blisters for me.
Tiger Feet was the brainchild of my friend James Doe, an R’s (and Harrow Borough) fan and also the creator of the hugely successful Non-League Day.
James’ idea was inspired by the fact that our friend and ex-BBC colleague – and now West London Sport blogger – Chris Charles has a daughter with Down’s.
James and Chris approached the QPR in the Community Trust, who have organised the last two walks and are now preparing the third.
Most who’ve been to White Hart Lane know all about the walk from Seven Sisters station, which I suspect I’ll never moan about again after the 30th. But it’s for a great cause.
And on the subject of great causes, on Saturday the Trust are aiming to set a record for the most money raised by football supporters during a Premier League match.
Fans can donate by texting ‘QPRW12 £3’ to 70070. The texts are free to send and every penny donated will go to the QPR in the Community Trust.
I’ve seen just a bit of the work the Trust CEO Andy Evans and his team do. They’re a credit to the club and I hope they set that new record."
£3 and one less pint on Saturday?
