Hi Avinalaff Apologies if you feel what we are doing is free advertising however as MikeO kindly highlighted we are a charity and are only seeking to promote our games which allow fans to play at Goodison Park. We appreciate that because we run games at many other UK based football clubs our interaction on forums isn't like that of a normal user and we apologise if it seems like we are one-time contributors. However we will at least aim to answer any queries which are related to our posts and help any users who are interested in taking part. Finally just to clarify we work closely alongside Everton in the Community and thanks to the very generous Everton fans who have taken part in our games at Goodison we have been able to raise a fantastic £73,800 since 2001, all of which went to charitable projects nominated by EITC. Many of the supporters who have taken part in our games have found out about us through forums and our only intention is to bring our events to Everton fans attention. As toffeetalk.com is one of the most influential Everton forums online that's why we chose to post here. Hopefully you can appreciate our honest intentions. Football Aid
