A group of Oldham Athletic fans will be hoping to smash a record when they undertake a driving tour of all 92 professional football grounds on the weekend of July 17 th to help raise money for the Samantha Jones Trust Fund.

Eight supporters expect to complete a visit to every single ground in the Football and Premier Leagues within a 92-hour time limit, but have set a target of 78 hours to beat the current record.

The fans will take the famous 'Ernie Flag' ( http://www.ernieflag.co.uk/site/ ) with them - created in memory of former Latics and Rochdale star Ernie Cooksey, who sadly died of malignant melanoma last summer, aged just 28. The flag has been taken to all of Latics' games last season, home and away, and to several England games.

(http://www.thesamanthajonestrust.co.uk/ ) as well as raising awareness of the threat of skin cancer during the summer months. Samantha Jones was diagnosed with luekaemia aged 14 in 2000, she died aged 16 in September 2002. Her family and friends set up the "Samantha Jones Trust" to "assist children and families in need, and to fulfil Samantha's dream of finding a cure for leukaemia."

Now the travelling party are looking for sponsorship and donations towards the charity and its fund raising efforts. Most of the travelling has been paid for by sponsorship by very welcomed interest from companies and individuals. Every penny now raised will go to the Charities that they are supporting
