City fans vs Rovers fans fishing cup video blog

Hi guys first off congrats on promotion

Secondly there was a charity fishing match between the city and rovers fans last week that lasted 48 hrs with around £1300 going to the Divvy Saunders St peters hospice charity
there was a very well made video blog by city fan Joseph Wooltorton thats approx 40 mins long that i would like to share, I wont be talking about the result!

 

Cheers for the congrats and thanks for the details on the charity event. Im not into fishing, in fact I dont even eat fish. This certainly aint my thing at all. Glad it went well though, regardless of who won etc. At charity events, its all about raising money and awareness. So thank you and to those who took part on both sides to help a worthy cause

 

Bit like captain, not really into fishing. But a mate of mine...steve mayo is well known in the fishing world and I know how serious they take it.
Good bit of banter and all for a good cause.....

 

Thanks for the replys, there is another match coming up in weston super between the too sets of fans in a couple of weeks its now looking like this will be quite a regular thing and good for charity as now swindon town fans have asked for a match as well

 

If you can get other local teams involved like newport, Cheltenham, Yeovil etc etc, then you could set up a league or a knock out competition FA cup style?

 

Any thing that raises money for charity and builds friendships between rival sets of supporters must be a good thing, prefer fly fishing myself then if I catch anything it gets cooked and eaten. Hope any future matches continue to raise money and give enjoyment to those taking part

 

Depends what part of the world your from? The Eastern Europeans treat a carp like we would a filet steak...

 

Yes I know someone who lives on a sight with it's own fishing lake Eastern Europeans are generally not made to feel welcome for that reason unless things have changed in the last 4 years

 

I believe some eastern europeans eat carp at christmas time they steam it in milk as its earthy in taste, there has been lots of cases of fish being taken from lakes, the trouble is that a large carge can be worth thousdands to a fisheries owner as people pay to catch it and they take years to get big

As for matches against fans from the other localish teams there was a guy who has mentioned doing that with a sea fishing match but i do not know how thats coming on, if that was to happen it would be easy too include every club from swansea cardif down as you could just get on boats from your respective areas and meet up
