what do we think to these?

[Durham Fox]

people don't wear wristbands as much anymore, purely because too many of them are about- i keep it simple with a yellow livestrong, the one which started off the craze, and in my opinion is a worthwhile cause.

It's well worth it. Keeps Lance in his performance enhancing drugs.

I hate all wristbands with a passion.

They're pretty crap really. Only 50p of the lcfc wristbands goes to charity. If you want to make a donation do so by writing a nice fat cheque and sending direct to the charity of your choice. Wearing these bands now is purely a way of advertising the fact that you give to charity. Very Smashie and Nicey.

Does anyone else from Hinckley remember having similar wristbands for the Leisure Centre swimming pool circa 1980?

Get out - your time's up!

In my local baths they were blue, with hand-written permanent ink numbers on them. Before 1980 though. :icon_sad:

they are such a con, take the city ones as an example 50p goes to the "players charities"....what like "save a ferrari fund" or "sign a left winger" and the rest they pocket....thats disgraceful for something that costs less than 5p to manufacture. if you think wristbands are good and you are doing your bit for charity, fine. but go do a marathhon. a skydive, a bungee jump etc and make a lot more and feel you've achieved something.

You're making me teary eyed with nostalgia. They had that crap cafe overlooking the pool. And the baby pool was always piss yellow.
