2011 Brighton REMF Squad

[The Large One]

Andy Rumble posted this yesterday, but I think it needs its own thread.

Squad

Gareth Challen
Jamie Nottage
Graham Harris
Ali Jenkins
Elliot Raggio
Jacob Naish
Nick Clayton
Chris Clayton
Peter Griffin
Ian Hickly-Smith
Alan Davis
Darren Teague
Gary Peters
Sean Pickup
Martin Schooley

Plus hopefully
Gus Poyet

And not one fat banker among them.

These people have been notified, and JustGiving pages will be set up shortly (if the individuals haven't already) for those who wish to sponsor them. Thanks to everyone who bid, and let's get everyone behind this. Remember - best sponsored player captains the team.

Cheers.

Good luck chaps.

How does the squad work? There's 19 players on that list, 20 if poyet plays. Do the players get a half each? Rolling subs? Or is it a ruthless process where the best 11 are chosen and then subs are only made occasionally? Are the pro's limited to cameo roles or do they play a good proportion of the match?

I'm not trying to create any controversy or arguments, just genuinely interested in how it will work.

Tremendous work. Lets all get behind Andy and the squad and get the REMF trophy back to Brighton where it belongs.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Excellent.Well done y'all.

That Sean Pickup is a bit useful. Sign him up Gus.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I have ordered 22 trophies so on that basis Andy can have a squad of up to 22. Its up to him who starts and who is subbed but I am sure all in the squad will be on the pitch at some stage.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Good luck fellas!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I will sponsor ALI and LEON.

 

[skipper734]

Is Leon Knight all right?

leon will definitely be getting some of my hard earned cash

any chance it will be anounced what the top bid was?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Also, usernames might be useful.

I would have bid a fortune if I had known Leon Knight was playing.

Rolling subs, it's a friendly charity match not a FIFA World Cup qualifier. At the first game an NSC poster called SeagullEater (who as his name suggests was a die-hard Palace fan) came on for five minutes as he'd been sponsored to wear an Albion shirt in public.

The squad has been announced. People may have differences of opinion but this year the auction route has raised additional funds with the members being asked to now raise additional funds in their own right which was a condition of the auction bids. It really is now up to Andy Rumble, who starts, who is sub, and lets leave it to him now. Lets simply all get behind him and the squad and REMF 10 and make this an event to make Robert proud and a fitting evening to remember Robert Eaton and 9/11, to be happy that such a great fund has flourished over the decade since which has given so much joy and happiness to kids all over the World and a great comfort to the Eaton family.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Gareth, can you drop me an email? I emailed you re: programme.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Will do.

 

[WATFORD zero]

That's just your opinion

and i haven't always had a lot of time for him but,

Leon Knight - he's nearly alright

 

[liam82]

Excellent, can't wait for this after comming for the first time last year with my palace mate.

Hope Leon gets a good reception, fair play to the bloke after his thread on here

 

[Seagullible]

Thankfully I don not look like him..

...but will probably get injured at some point :-(
