People may already be bidding for two. I'd even thought of doing something similar but was waiting to see what figure the auction could reach.

Talk Sport Afternoon donated to the REMF - Auction Here

I have NO FRIENDS, so quite happy for another person to share the glory (which will probably involve making the tea for Hawksby and J) should I be successful.
That is why I felt it was a good idea. There are now loads of people on here, who UNINCUMBERED with the requirement to actually have 'a friend', can get involved.
I was actually thinking of inviting 1066 Seagull as my 'friend', but I believe he is preoccupied downloading things from t'internet.

I don't think he can afford the train fare to London any more.

After thinking about this, I'm of the opinion that the prize should stay as it was originally intended, i.e. "the winner and a friend". Tough on the second highest bidder but that's what an auction is all about.
I know for a fact that Robyn and talkSPORT bent the rules and added the "and a friend" as a special favour to the REMF. Experience has shown that throwing two individuals who don't know each other into a live radio environment does not always work very well. The chemistry is lacking. Two friends, brothers, cousins, parent or child would work much better. I'm pretty sure that all posters on here have a football/sports-minded mate they could take along. Dont forget, the winner can still come on their own if they so wish.

If I win, can I ask my mate Hiney to come along, and perhaps he could make a spontaneous 'donation' to REMF at the same time?

Hiya,
Just to let you know in theory there's no problem with bidding for an individual place.
However experience has shown throwing two individuals who don't know each other into a live radio environment does not always work very well. The chemistry is lacking.
Two friends, brothers, cousins, parent or child would work much better.
Of course they can come on their own if they wish. It's normally only for one person we just bent the rules for you guys!

Message from Robyn. I think it will work if the 2 people know each other and can banter. if we have 2 seperate people who are thrown in , ie top bidder and 2nd top bidder it will not work. So as it stands its ok but if it is not El Pres and Hiney the winning bidder should be allowed to invite whoever the know and want to come and not feel obliged to invite a stranger from NSC.

alternatively, you could up your bid to £180 to ensure you win, and Hiney could give you £80 as a spontaneous present?
... which once safely trousered, you can ring Padders, and invite him

I think this is all getting rather complicated. Can we just leave it that the winning bid will have a pass for 2 people and leave it to them who they invite ( if the 2nd prson wants to make an additonal donation to the REMf all good and well ).
It's okay, Hiney and I are former lovers, so know each other well, and we're both mods, so spend a lot of our time talking about NSC'ers behind their backs via our special MODPHONE, which is a bit like the Batphone, but projects an image of Mark McGhee into the sky instead of a bat.
I'll go £125, therefore outbidding myself.

Seems to me that El Pres has taken it. Well done Kieran.
REMF wins again with another excellent amount going into the kitty.
Just one thing, make sure that we all know when you are going to be on the show, I'm sure you'll have a superb time.
Well done El Pres.
