purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Jer's heroism reached new levels this weekend when he was forced to cycle for almost 24 hours over the course of Saturday and Sunday. With no hotel rooms available in South Yorkshire on Saturday evening Jer was forced to keep cycling through the night and go without sleep until the following evening. I'm sure we all agree the man is a legend and deserves our respect. So if you're in Bristol tomorrow evening why not show your respect by attending Jer's party at Ashton Gate? Everyone welcome, tickets available from the club at a cost of a measly 10 pounds. Please come along and be part of Jer's fantastic season! So who is going to come?

Dave L Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I will be there too. I understand there are some fantastic raffle prizes as well. Perhaps Purple Monkey Dishwasher could tell us what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I will be there too. I understand there are some fantastic raffle prizes as well. Perhaps Purple Monkey Dishwasher could tell us what they are. The only one I care about is the crate of Blackthorn. I believe there are lots of football goodies, including signed Middlesborough and Blackburn shirts and Jim Brennan's promotion winning Norwich shirt. I think there's also a very famous, much sought after purple and lime green shirt from January 1994 if you know what I mean.... Plenty of non-footy prizes on offer too. But in order to win, you'll need to be at the party (hint...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 This may not be achievable in the time frame, however, exiles will not be able to get to the party but may wish to bid for a prize. Is it possible to list the merchandise so that we may enter a maximum bid with Dave_L who I believe is hosting the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I think its a raffle, not an auction Ian. But I guess there's nothing stopping you (or anyone else) buying tickets. Let me know how many you want and I'll put them by for you and you can send a cheque. If anyone else wants to do that, just pm me. But if I buy raffle tickets on your behalf and you subsequently don't pay up if you don't win anything then clearly you are a Gashead .. or worse .. Tony Pulis.

Grannyjoy Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I am planning to be in Bristol from Tomorrow evening for a few days, so transport permitting, I would love to come along.

Guest Jer Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Just a reply to various postings here. * Yes, tickets should be available on the door. We didn't take the full allocation in the first place, so there should be plenty of space on the day. * Having been told the club was going to sell tickets for us, it seems some people have been contacting the club to buy them and being told the tickets office doesn't know anything about it. Apologies for that, if you're in that category. See my first point above!! * Rose: No probs, I've put another ticket aside for you. I can't speak for the club's policy on minors, but sounds OK to me! * And finally a general warning. It seems Fred Wedlock wishes to do a duet with me on my banjo. Bring earplugs in case that actually happens... Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 OK, one last attempt to convince you what a great night tonight will be, and all for just a tenner! Tickets will be available on the door, so no need to sit in a queue on the ticket hotline. Just come down to the ground around 7pm (things should get started by 8pm) and join in the fun. It is in the Cetenary Restaurant in the Williams Stand. Since today is the 30th anniversary of Adge Cutler's death I will attempt to get Fred Wedlock to do some sort of tribute, which I'm sure will be worth the admission fee by itself.... See you there hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pinamonte Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 How much money should I bring to this party? I want to make sure that I win that Jim Brennan shirt as he is my favourite City player ever. How many raffle tickets will I need to buy to win it do you think? Also, tell Jer that I will buy him a pint if I see him at the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedUn Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Since today is the 30th anniversary of Adge Cutler's death I will attempt to get Fred Wedlock to do some sort of tribute, which I'm sure will be worth the admission fee by itself.... Ouch!, that's made me feel even worse about having to miss it - his arrangement of Adge's Thee's Got'n Wur Thee Casn't Back'n Asn't from The Folker (1971) would seem most appropriate ... Flo and Jo They like to go Every Sunday afternoon, On a bike made for two they'd travel far ... Perhaps the club can viddy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pinamonte Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 It was a good party last night. Some of the players turned up and the Fred Wedlock guy was very funny. I brought Jer a pint to well done him for his efforts and I got to meet the Tinman who popped in. I didn't win anything on the raffle though.

purple_monkey_dishwasher Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Last night was fantastic. Fred was great and Jer's banjo playing had everyone in awe. Lee Miller turned up and seemed like an especially nice chap, and the Tinman gave Jer a bottle of champagne from all the players. The night was a huge success financially, I believe we made 300 quid on the raffle alone. Many thanks to Dave for hosting it, Fred for providing the entertainment, and to the players and the Lansdowns for turning up and making the night go so well. It's been featured on Sky Sports News this morning. Did anyone see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
