Cicero Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Gretna Supporters Society have sponsored a project to encourage healthy lifestyles through playing sport. Yes we did crib the idea from Spartans and we'd like to thank Craig and Dougie for their help and inspiration. The project, called Gretna Community Sport, is very close to winning £50,000 from the People's Millions, but we need your help by voting and spreading the word to all your friends. Voting will take place by telephone on November 24th from 9am - midnight. It will also be on the ITV Border News at 6pm on the same day. Calls will cost 15p from mobiles and BT landlines. You can call up to 10 times from any UK number. Gretna Community Sport will use the money to fund sports for young people in the area, with start up costs, equipment, coaching and travel, promoting sport and healthy lifestyles within the Gretna community. Although sponsored by Gretna Supporters Society none of the money will go to Gretna FC 2008 but will be spent entirely on children's sport in the Gretna area . WE NEED YOUR VOTE. The numbers to call are Landline 09015 228202 Mobile 6228202 Choose option 1 If you want more information www.gretnacommunitysport.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link on the first post will take to the groups homepage and what they hope to achieve. The money will help them provide sports equipment for young people, pay for coaching, and subsidise their team travel costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makemgeordie Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 yes well done Gretna Gretna Community Sport pulled off a remarkable feat today when it was announced on Border TV's Lookaround that they had won Mondays Peoples Millions. After weeks of campaigning for votes by committee members and all associated with GCS throughout the local community the lines for voting opened yesterday morning at 9.00am. Throughout the day a hard campaign was fought through social media which even saw support from former Southampton & England International Matt le Tissier via his Twitter Account followed by support from Scotland Manager Gordon Strachan as well as the massive voting by the local community. The winning cheque for just under £50.000 will now be used to fund sport in the community and will help with equipment, coaching & transport for the youth in the Gretna & surrounding areas.
