Some of the raffle prizes donated by well wishers. The auction included a couple of signed balls from Salford one of which had been used in the last ever game to be played at the Willows, a couple of signed footballs from Manchester United, a hi-fi system and numerous signed pictures. Attachments:

I have now been told that the club have agreed to round the amount raised up to exactly £4000.00. Not bad considering the current financial climate.
