MySpazz Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Ok, trying to do a wee audit here. Saints' Exiles have sponsored today's matchball, captain's armband and contributed to the match day programme (for a reprint of the text, see below). WHO DONATED WHAT Have received donations from those listed below | @john.w / @stanley saint / AN Other please confirm I have you (your son's name) covered EXILE DONATION TICKETS Rob M 22.5 1 Dun W 200 12 Mar T 50 3 Jor W 22.5 1 Ste Z 22.5 1 Jas C 22.5 1 Jos M 40 2 Chr G 10 1 DunM 20 1 Bri S 20 1 Mar C 25 1 Tom P 50 3 505 MATCH BALL DRAW Tickets means how many times your name will go into the draw to keep the match ball. 20-25 = 1 ticket, and then I've roughly pro-rata'd that up for those who contributed more. I will get all the names into Excel and run the RAND() function to pick a winner. I'll film it live on Twitter, this week. PROGRAMMES Anyone who wants a programme should PM/Send their name/address to me. I have requested 10 from @The ghost of Jim Morton - I will use the outstanding £5.00 (have paid Ghostie £500 by cheque) for the postage cost to get him to send down the Programmes. If you want a programme I will send them out, at my cost to you. REPRINT OF THE MATCH DAY PROGRAMME MESSAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Saints’ Exiles Club – the diaspora of fans outside Scotland - are proud to sponsor today’s match ball, and wish to congratulate Chris on his well-deserved Testimonial match. The Exiles were founded by Seaman Captain John Marnoch when around fifteen Saintees met up to watch St Johnstone in a cup match from the Sports Cafe pub in London sometime in the mid-2000s. Today’s captain’s armband is sponsored in recognition of John “Captain Marnoch” who recently passed away. He is responsible for the Exiles’ POTY efforts over the past few years and is fondly remembered as the only person to receive TWO bans from WAP forum! Contributions for today’s sponsorship came from as far afield as arctic Northern Canada, Australia, and the Falkland Isles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THANKS Well done @sixties saintee for being the one who actually got all this going, and made it happen. As always, huge thanks to @The ghost of Jim Morton @The Inspiration enjoy your day, god bless @AthensSaint @PanamaSaint @SingaporeSaint and any other astroturf accounts - we miss them all MON THE SAINTS!

sixties saintee Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hope it was a great day for all concerned, hopefully we got the matchball this time, unlike Ando's which misteriously went missing to this day, both John and I wanted it displayed in the Barrosa, would like it to happen this time as I think it would be a fitting tribute to John.

Templar Saint Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 At the end of the match Chris Millar had the match ball so hopefully Chris will have done or do a presentation of said ball as a fitting tribute to John and the type of guy Chris is. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have tha ball, signed by midge and firmly in my possession. Also signed programmes. The captains armband is also secured but it needs to go out to be embroidered with some extra bits and pieces.. I hope to have it back before I go on holiday and when I get it I will post photo of it.. I thought the tribute to John and the write up about the exiles in the programme was excellent. On behalf of Chris, the testimonial committee and myself I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made this possible..

john.w Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 What I would like to do is this make arrangements to give the ball to the Captains dad who is an Auld pal of mine probably could be arranged through Joss. When you deliver ball to Auld John tell him Johnny Walker says cheers The ghost of Jim Morton, essexsaint and sixties saintee 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
