Flounder Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 But is Bolt better than Diony on this showing and think of the shirt sales and media opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Should be all former players in my opinion. Would attract a lot more attention. The celebrities are just too slow, and well.. crap. Offer no entertainment at all. Sure UNICEF would make more money from that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Side point, I know its a charity game and all but anyone feel they're been over preachy? And minimum amount I've seen them say you can donate is £10, they're just saying £10 or £20. A lot of people I know wouldn't be able to just donate that for charity.

But I'm sure Old Trafford would sell out if you could get a lot of international legends from the 90s and early 00's playing. Along with the likes of Shearer, Nevilles, Waddle, Psycho, Gazza, Sherringham etc all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, but to not advertise something like 'donate what you can' and instead advertise it as a minimum of a £10 donation is a bit off for a charity event, anything should be greatly appreciated.

formerly known as ivan Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Suggested before and I don’t know why they don’t do it but if they opened up a raffle, say £10 entry, for a member of the public to get involved, even for a few days training with them and a 10 min run out during the game, they would make an absolute killing!
