Kerry Mayo Testimonial Fans Forum : Are You Going?

[bhafc4eva]

Why isnt this being held in Brighton? Wouldnt it make more sense and attract more people?

 

[Mustela Furo]

Several reasons ..

1: We were keen to hold some testimonial events away from Brighton - bring Kerry to the fans so to speak. All other events are in Brighton (& Hove)

2: Ideally we would like to hold 3 events (with totally different guests each time to make it a unique evening and worthwhile for fans to attend more than one if they so desire).

3: This is a truly FANS event, not one for the Corporate boys (although they are of course welcome!) therefore we felt we could go further afield

4: We will have to see how this one goes before making a firm decision on holding more events but if we do then we have opted for Burgess Hill and Eastbourne as the bases for the subsequent Forum's - a good spread around the county ... we would hope to hold the second one in January and the final one in March

5: Kerry's brother runs the Thomas a Becket so it seemed a logical first choice of venues - it also means we can throw in a free drink with the price of the ticket!!!

6: Err....

What's barry Lloyd doing there? WAs Kerry at the Albion when Bazza was manager?

 

[Mustela Furo]

Barry was Kerry's first boss .... when he was in the Youth Team

The testimnial is for 10 years service as a PROFESSIONAL - Kerry has actually been with the club for 16 years!

 

[Mustela Furo]

Just a quick


Cheer yourselves up after Sunday's disappointment with a great night out.

 

[Wilka]

Hope this doesn't turn out to be a complete disaster! Can't make it myself but will go when he does the one at Burgess Hill football club.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Yep, will be in attendance with 3 or 4 other Albion boys, looking forward to it.

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

I'd love to go but getting there is a bit of a problem for me.

 

[Mustela Furo]

Just a little bounce to keep this fresh in peoples minds

Around 100 advance tickets sold so there will be tickets available on the night

 

[bhaexpress]

Wuld have done as it's just up the road from me but I'm working late that day.

 

[JJ McClure]

Can't make Worthing, but if there's going to be one in Burgess Hill sometime I'll be sure to go to that.

 

[Superphil]

I'll be there, with Superwife and a ginger freak!

 

[Mustela Furo]

One final bounce in case anybody is at a loose end tonight!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I'm going to pay on the gate.

Will there be stewards, making us sit down? Can we sing? Will it really be Kerry putting in an appearance? Or will Frutos be drafted in as emergency cover?

ahhhh...now we see!


After being abused by some Worthing Pikey Scum when I treid to park outside its house for the friendly, I think I will give Worthing a miss.

 

[Mustela Furo]

I'm going to pay on the gate.

Will there be stewards, making us sit down?

No - We have Charlie for that

Can we sing?

It's Compulsory

Will it really be Kerry putting in an appearance??

Yup - I'm picking the team

STOP-PRESS


Jimmy Case has been unavoidably detained in Southampton.

Therefore at shot notice, the legend that is GERRY RYAN will now be attending tonight's Forum


Yes - one of the reasons why "we hate palace", the former Irish international and member of the Albion's Glory Years will recall those magnificent days as we rose to the top flight of English Football, culminating in the FA Cup Final, for which he came on as substitute after Chris Ramsay was so brutally terminated by the Man U thugs.

Gerry himself of course was awarded a testimonial by the Albion back in 1986 and is pleased to help celebrate Kerry's tonight




Also present from the Albion's first team will be Alan Blayney and Adam El-Abd
