how many mins could one person play? If I'll play at least 30 mins then I'd love to buy the ticket and play.

I think the main point is about raising money for a charitable cause, not showcasing your skills for a sufficient period of time on the pitch to warrant purchasing a ticket?
 
For more insight into the reasons behind this, Mark Mather is on radio Sheffield between 1-3 pm. That's what I think I heard whilst driving in this morning half asleep.

I definitely won't be showcasing any skills. ;)
 
If there is anyone out there that would only play if they're on the home team. I will gladly swap my place on the home team with them. We need to sell these tickets. This is literally a matter of saving someone's life and the life of a fellow blade at that. You get to play at the Lane!!! Even if you're pants at football what a photo opportunity! Dig deep lads and lasses.
 
There are mascot and spectator tickets too. When the playing tickets have almost gone, I'll be buying at least 4 spectator tickets and maybe a mascot ticket too.
Imagine the chance to play at the 'Lane and walking out with your boy (or girl) alongside as mascot.
Bumped this on Sheffield forum too.

My understanding of MS is that it is a progressive disease to which there is no cure. There are some new treatments which will slow down the disease progression, but it cannot be cured, so I think you are over-stating it by saying that this is to save someone's life. At best it may slow down the progression of the disease and improve quality of life in the short term.

The other problem I see is that there are endless cases like this. I have no clue who this person Mick Mather is. But there are hundreds/thousands in similar or worse situations. So why should this particular case get our attention/sponsorship? I know that may sound a bit heartless, it's not meant to be at all, but it's not possible to give to every single charitable cause that comes our way. Even if they are "Blades". So I reckon you should tell us a bit more about this and maybe even set up a charity link on here so that people who have no interest in playing in this game or buying a ticket can still help with a donation if they wish to.

I don't know Mark Mather either but the chance arose to play at the 'lane and help someone along the way. This is a passage taken from the appeal site.

"
In 2008 Mark Mather was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, since his initial diagnosis, I think its fair to say that the MS has progressed to the point where now Mark struggles to get about and do things that people take for granted.

Im not sure if any pf you saw the Panorama programme about the HSCT treatment, but some info here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-35065905

We have been looking into the treatment with our own NHS however sadly Mark doesn't meet the criteria currently for the treatment. SO after a great deal of research we have found a place in Mexico who do the treatment - here is a link for info http://hsctmexico.com/contenido/HSCT.html

The treatment will involve Mark going to Mexico for 28 days and having chemotherapy and stem cell harvesting and replanting, in the hope that it will reboot his immune system and give him some quality of life."
