TSOD Players Sponsorship Scheme

[ChrisW]

After seeing the Cheltenham tipping comp over the road, got me thinking.
Chissy, one of the original mods here started this idea. And I remember one of the prizes was a share to get a vote for the players sponsorship scheme.

Anyone remember the complete list of players who were sponsored by that scheme? And how are they doing now.

There was one but it never got enough interest, Spacey ended up returning the money back to the potential sponsors....... says it all really.

Now I recall he got the sponsorship money but didn't enter q school because he had spent it on events before January.

There had been expectation he would enter q school.

is he still playing?

I’m still here and was here long before they even started the scheme. I don’t chase money like some.

But what about James Richardson.

I thought it was good when at the gsod he was pointing to and kissing his tsod badge. He seemed to genuinely appreciate the sponsorship.
