PUSB! Great work all involved! I wonder if any local TV will mention this!
Any word on Big Mo Deano?
sky sports doing a documentary on us for sunday,central and midlands today will be there too
the highest attendance for a charity/testimonial match at HR/Ricoh is around 25,000 for Dave Busst.
we had a testimonial for Curtis/kearns in 60's but don't think it was that high.
What year was the Buust match deono?
What about Shaws testimonial v Celtic?
16th may 1997 10 year fa cup anniversary
What about Shaws testimonial v Celtic?
People are talking up the numbers too much, surely the aim is to simply get more than attend the game in Northampton - talk of 20K is silly, and it will be a massive anti-climax if only 5000 turn up. Comparisons with the Dave Busst game (where over half the 23K crowd were United fans) and Celtic (where there were 5K away fans and the game was played at a time we were regularly getting over 20K) are not relevant.
Remember, a number of CIty fans will travel to Northampton, many are on holiday, there will be no away fans, and some will not go because of their feelings towards ACL. I don't know anyone who is going. Issuing press releases to SSN talking of numbers of 10K+ will only make it look like a failure when 3/4 of the ground is empty.
How many did you think were going on the march?
That isn't my point. The great thing about the march was how the numbers exceeded expectations. The stated aim of the chaity game should be to simply get more than the attendance at SIxfields. That is achievable and highly likely. If 10K turn up great, 20K amazing. As it stands, they have only opened up about 4 blocks, some of which only hold a few hundred, and none of them are sold out. I suspect they haven't sold more than 1500 tickets. Expectations just need to be reigned in a bit.
Deano - I am away at a wedding in Liverpool gutted as I would of been there like a shot, will anyone be filming the day, game/interviews with players??? I would gladly part with some of my folding, and I am sure others would too, maybe fans from overseas??? I know you have a good collection of past games, so I thought I would ask you...could raise some extra £££'s
What about Bill Glazier's testimonial - wasn't it against the England '66 team?
I find myself in total agreement with SkyBlueRev again - this is now becoming a habit. I am away in Ireland at a Wedding but would be happy to contribute to make this event the great big feck off to SISU !!
