Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Yesterday, I had a call from the Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service. For those of you who don't know they are are donating two fire engines that have
reached the end of their operational life to the Haskovo City Fire Department in Bulgaria and may be able to take goal posts over to the orphanage for the children. I have been asked to find out the size of the goal posts and then they will let me know if they have sufficient space to put them on one of the fire engines when they take them to Haskovo on 6 June.

So if anyone can give me info on the type and size of training posts which will be suitable for the children I would be really pleased. So, let's keep our fingers crossed that we can make Doug and the children happy bunnies.

I have asked for portable mini soccer goals in my 'begging'letters, which are a good size at 8' x 6' and retail at around £85 per goal. Samba seem to be the most popular brand amongst local teams.

I wrote to Tottenham this morning, as they have Berbatov at the club and guesss what was on the midday news It looks like he will be leaving at the end of the season :' (So they may not be so interested in Bulgaria).

I have also contacted all my local professional/ semi pro and youth clubs. I also contacted Leicester City (thought the press opportunities with the Fire Brigade would make a good story).

Just need to wait to see what comes back

I will contact Samba and ask for a quote/donation.

Hiya not sure if this helps but I run a footie team and we use samba mini goals. We use the 12 x 6 goals and collapsed in carry bag they measure roughly 1ft square by approx 4ft long. I would assume the 8 x 6 will be a bit smaller but most clubs use 12 x 6 as these are the smallest match size goals so if asking for donations you might find you end up with this size. If you are looking at buying with donated funds there are some really good deals on ebay ...thats where I get mine from. Buying direct from samba is the most expensive way to get them although if they donate them that would not be the case.
