Bristol Rob Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Had it on, bit turned it over. I was quite surprised that the text donation line started at a tenner. I try and do my bit for causes worthy, but surely the average person would be more inclined to lump them a fiver, which is a far more nominal number.

RedM Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 After going to last years event at ManU I was really keen when I found out it was at Chelsea, but when the tickets came out there was lots of advisories about engineering works and tubes being suspended. I tried every way to get a solution so we had a chance of getting back to Victoria so we were back in Bristol before tomorrow morning but it was near on impossible, even considered walking a huge chunk across London. In the end I couldn’t be arsed. I haven’t even watched too much of it on tv, and now it’s gone to penalties, which meant if I had gone I would have had to leave before the end anyway.

Redandwhitescarf Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Think £10 Is the going rate now., I look at it as the cost of 2 pints, and a happy to donate on this once every two years occasion but can understand the £5 argument . Shame as they’ve just said only 17% of those watching actually donate, and maybe £5 would have encouraged a few more. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’ve always thought that if they gave the general public the chance to play, even 10 mins at the end, by applying by text for £5 then they would make a fortune on it. Also, interesting watching Billy Wingrove play as he looked terrible! Shows that you can have all the flicks and tricks under the sun but it’s completely different when it comes to playing football.

Talking of £5 a pint what is Clifton like these days? is it still hard to find a parking space? if it is you could always pop down to Pill where you can still get at least 3 pints for £10.

Port Said Red Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 As usual Ben Shepherd looked a decent player, I would suggest he actually looked fitter this year if anything.

He actually wasn’t not really. He played in the charity game we had down here, was it last year? The one with Kerry Katona in. He trained with our players at the back end of the season a few times and got quite matey with LJ. It was a standing joke between the pair of them that he was getting a deal with us. I think he may have had a footballing career if music hadn’t taken over. He does a lot of charity matches. He recently was on the books of Braintree I think it was, not sure if he actually played much for them though as he was always touring. At the back end of last season he was training with Forest Green for a few weeks. Nice bloke, but he’s got to be in this thirties now so no deal from LJ I don’t think! As for Mark Wright his brother Josh is a professional player. We’ve seen him a few times at AG, mainly lower league Gillingham, Southend, Charlton type teams.

Must have done as I don’t remember any mazy runs. Maybe I have seen too many of their videos hitting 60 yard pin point passes or spanking them into the top hand corner from 30 yards.

I'm with you Ivan, If you watch their bloopers they take about 30 takes for each trick, but in the video you only see one try. I've seen videos of them playing Sunday League and they weren't standing out that much. They've got a good touch and can strike a ball well, but I wasn't overly impressed with them, although Billy Wingrove was injured I believe.
