Gary Harts Testimonial Match. Brighton vs Charlton Athletic, Saturday 26th July

[Braders]

3 tickets sorted for this one

still hoping it's a celebration of a decade of Harty rather then a final goodbye mind

if it's half as good as Kerrys was though it'll be a blinding laugh regardless

and talked three more into coming , with hopefully a knock on effect

great stuff! The names are continuing to line up for the legends game ... and over the weekend we heard that there may be a chance that a real legend of English football may just be turning out for us thanks to his connections with a former Albion player who is already confirmed as playing in the legends match.

I can't reveal the name yet as negotiations are at a very early stage but if it comes off then we may need to build another tier to the Press Box as every newspaper on the planet will want to be there!

Hope you can pull it off as a capacity crowd would be very nice

Are you able to reveal the names of the players that are confirmed for definite?

Sounds very tantalising...hope you can pull it off, as Harty deserves the very best.

Brilliant. Neville Southall, that well known Albion legend...

Also, Steve Melton back at Withdean Again

Should be good! I wonder who the other manager will be....

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Best 'til last! Nice boost for the 18 named so far

I remember Big Nev having an absolute blinder against us for Torquay. We absolutely battered them from start to finish and lost to a Bedeau/Williams combo.

Really really looking forward to this.

Mustela, how are we progressing on the ticketing front?

On the day of Kerrys Testimonial there was a problem with the park and ride at Mithras house. The buses arrived the usual time for a 3pm kick off. However with the Legends game kicking off early a number of people were left at the park and ride and missed the start of the legends game. Have the bus compnaies been asked to put on buses earlier than usual for the legends game this time around?

 

[harty9]

all sorted people. the buses will be there dont worry

Are the stewards working for free?

ER no

 

[Barrel of Fun]

ER no

Oh, I thought they might as it is an option that some people take. I worked for free at a testimonial match at Cheltenham Town. It was a bonus game and didn't seem right to take money as it was not a normal match and there was nothing to do apart from show my face.

NB I am not judging the Brighton stewards as it is their personal call.

If they offer the option i will but not heard it mentioned

I assure you that if we pull off this big name then no one will dispute that comment, least of all the other players

Mustela, how are we progressing on the ticketing front?

pretty good ... home sales just ahead of Kerry's game at the same point in time.

Charlton look like they will sell out and may ask for more.

Kerry got 6300 i think so 6500+.

Of course if we get this big name then it will sell out!
