Charlie Oatway Testimonial Lunch

[Brightonfan1983]

Sounds like a cracking day. Elliott Bennett tweeted he had dinner at The Pass South Lodge last night before heading down to Brighton. Good on him.

The South Lodge? I go there for family get-togethers once every year or two. Bloody posh and expensive. But a real treat!

I hope there are more updates, pics etc? I see that BHASnappy is tweeting some this evening, looks like it was great fun.

I bet Fry was absolutely hilarious. Great turn out for Charlie.

ha sounds like a success then

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Ha! Didn't see any pies - although Guy Butters was there which probably explains that. Was also a nice touch that Elliott Bennett came down for it as well

Actually there was a mini shepherds pie with every meal apart from the veggie option.
CMS was an absolute sweetie. He spent 10 minutes with Mrs Earle chatting about Norwich chasing him since his Peterboro days, Barnes working so hard for the team and other things. Posed for a piccie with her and made her day.

Good bunch of lads there so I heard, true fans ! Also heard too many corporate twats who probably didn't know who Charlie Oatway is/was !

I got a recording of the q&a. It was very funny

can you youtube it?

What are the odds of the testimonial game being against QPR

 

[DanielT]

That would be brilliant.

here's the audio file, no video I'm afraid, but just imagine a lot of arm waving!

Not much of a draw, are they?
