The Kerry Mayo Testimonial Match

[Mustela Furo]

Mr Ferett sir...

Any news on any more ex-players performing? The Cullips, Brookers, Watsons and Joneses of the world?

And have any of the stewards agreed to work for free? Without kicking up a fuss?

Current players always have to get their manager's permission - and some have to wait until reporting back for pre-season before they can get the green light for certain.

HOWEVER, the Cullips, Joneses and Virgos of this world certainly intend to be there participating.

In addition I am currently in discussions with several "stars of the 80s" who are awaiting news of their media commitments around that time before they can confirm participation.

We will be releasing names at regular intervals as they get signed-up.




As for the Stewards, the information there was not quite correct, due to the legislative restrictions around stewards.

While Kerry would obviously welcome any offers from certified Stewards, I do not believe that they will be asked to work for free.

I should bloody hope not, imagine it... "So then mate, do you fancing sacraficing your £6 a hour so it can be given to a footballer who earns proberly 10 times you in a year!!

Every man and his dog is a ST at Reading now....

Nevertheless, I'll be there - hopefully the weather will be good..

Will this every man and his dog you speak of be bringing pizza?

I hope so!

I'm presuming and hoping this will be filmed and sold on DVD for those of us who can't make it? Sounds like it's going to be a brilliant day

 

[Frank Inkerman]

Are there 'non-attendance' tickets on sale?

 

[Mustela Furo]

Frank

We are looking into this possibility - some sort of personally signed commemorative ticket

More news over the next week or so.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Kerry playing/not playing at the moment, I hope Withdean is full for this match.

exactly , wonder when plans for OGHs will be drawn up..

although we might get the same level of team , can see Kez get PISSED if OGH gets a team like Liverpool or Arsenal down here...
