Mr Tron has a point tho.
Isnt the England u17 or u19 captain or something now at Shrewsbury?
Like he says get them off to somewhere that plays football.
No disrespect to the Shrews.
Probably that its not often you can open the season in a brand new state of the art stadium. Friendlies/testimonials do NOT count as there is nothing but pride at stake and dare I say wont get as much attendance as a league game. This is a MOMENTUS occasion, pride is same old same old.
Besides...
I was once drawing some cash from the old HSBC in Dyke Road before a home game years ago and OGH was behind me in the queue.
Score a goal 2morow Gary I said. Cor you made me jump he said. He did in the 4-2 DEMOLITION of Macclesfield.
Years later I saw him in Oceana with Kerry Mayo...
Thats what I have been trying to say for YEARS.
With enough planning it can tie in to when there isnt much going on.
Isnt one of the reasons that it follows the London Pride the week after? So thats TWO weekends of partying? Added to the others up and down the COUNTRY.
One of my gay mates...
