well worth sponsoring this guy - and now we know at least one of the kittens is still alive and kicking!

Don't know if this chap reads the forum, but it would be good to know if there is an on line sponsorship form.

Wonder why the name change from Welford to Tony? I would have thought it would mean more to Tigs fans as Welford. Good luck to him anyway.

The name change is probably because the guy who will be wearing the suit in the run is called Tony!

No conspiracy theories required.

Basically, someone called Tony has just asked to borrow the old Welford suit to use to raise money for Matt & he is choosing to use his own name.

It just happens to work well as it is also the same name as a cartoon character who advertises sugary breakfast products for kids.

It would be nice if he was getting a large bowl full of sponsorship from Kellogs. If he asks I hope he doesn't get a frosty response.
