As i said just a suggestion and if flowers are decided upon that is no probs at all with me

Yeah agree with you Flash, flowers are nice but after a couple of days their spoiled. Where as money to a charity or the fund for the daughters may go that little way more.

It all depends on the funeral arrangements. Which will be decided by Steve's family. Some funerals have floral tributes. Some don't. If they decide they want flowers, then a nice wreath from us lot would probably be very welcome. Flowers and leaves die off. But the family get a list of tributes from the funeral directors. A message of sympathy from "All Steve's mates from the Online Gooner" or something like that would be a nice touch, maybe?

Any surplus money beyond that could be sent to a charity. Again, it's up to Steve's family.

I'm still feeling cut up. About a man I never met. Human nature is not all a bad thing.

I have strong feelings about flowers at funerals and at my mum's it was absolutely our decision to restrict it to family only and get others to donate......

So for Steve.....I agree that it's 100% up to his family.

I agree that a charity is deserving but I do also think that a wreath is fitting.

Maybe this should be something longer term where we get flowers for the day but also all contribute whatever we can afford to a cancer charity?

It could be that we contribute Â£50 this time instead of flowers but surely it is better to get a great wreath and ten all contribute Â£2 a month to a chosen cancer charity?

An ongoing support is better than a one off and personally I think Steve deserves a wreath.

I agree with Percy, our mate Steve was a Gooner thru and thru and if anyone deserves an Arsenal related wreath, then it was him. I do agree that a longer term committment to a charity is something that I would encourage everyone to do, no matter how small the monthly donation may be, as they say, every little helps.

At the end of the day it will be Steves family that decide how the money should be spent and I know that we will all respect their wishes.

Sorry Im so late on board with this. I dont have a paypal account either. One of my postie mates has one so Ill have a word with him tomorrow to see if I can pay him and he can put it in for me. Well done to everybody as well. Although many of you never met Charlie Charlie you still feel connected with him through posts on here and its very touching that despite this sad time for his friends and family that we can do something to show our respects for him

Good to see we've raised quite a bit. I'll put a few quid in later on today.
