I know this is not crafty but I thought I would post it here anyway just in case anyone was interested.

The Glasgow Tigers will face their biggest challenge yet on Saturday 25 July, when they aim to climb Ben Lomond... in full football kit!


With great hope of post-season football for the first time in 5 years, the Tigers will be doing all they can to raise funds for prospective trips down south.

The team will be leaving sharp on Saturday morning, after getting dressed into their full gameday uniforms, with helmet and pads included!

Defensive back coach Gee Whyte is an avid hillwalker, and thought it would be a great opportunity to get his teammates doing the walk on the week between the Highland Wildcat clashes on July 19 and August 2.

“Ben Lomond isn’t the most challenging trek out there, but in full football kit it will be a different story!”, said Gee.

He continued, “I’m sure the guys will be praying for a little overcast weather and for the sun not to be beating down on us as we make our way up there!”.

As well as raising funds for the team, the boys have elected Ronald McDonald House at Yorkhill Kids Hospital as their charity of choice to donate half of all funds raised for the walk.

In addition to this I have opened up a shop on Folksy that I have donated items into in case anyone wants to donate but would like something for their money :-p

I've never actually been to a game but I think I'm supposed to be a Pirates fan

Woah wait a minute! Why are you supposed to be a Pirates fan?

A lovely lass I used to work with is dating a Pirate   He's lovely too...I know absolutely nothing about the game though haha.  They had a benefit/ball type thing once that I was dying to go to but never made it in the end   I'm pretty sure a couple of the boys were serving drinks at the last ann summers party too and I missed that also. silly me.

Ahhhhh Pirate fan by default :-p

Technically you could claim to support both the Tigers and the Pirates as you see fit as we are both in seperate divisions so we are not direct rivals other than the fact that we are both teams in Scotland.
