Been raining up in Birmingham all night. What is it like in Slough? Any doubt about the event being on?

[Hammer_rebel]

Light rain but mainly cloudy

[HorshamRebel]

The main rain is going across the midlands and missing the south today.

 

Very merky but pretty much dry

WHAT A GREAT DAY.

 

Well done all, great to see all them legends and 200-250 supporters. Personally catching up with Moran and Rowan Dodds (even if I was busy at the game to chat to Rowan) Moran at the Hershel Arms long chat about 80's football, on how we beat the world in the resies.

Good afternoon and great to see the legends.....maybe a lot slower than before but some of them still had lovely skills and touches. Nice to talk to many of them too.............even nicer that many of them remember us as well as we remember them. Star of the show was Delroy Preddie.......still fit and agile and making s0me great saves.

Very enjoyable day (and night!) out and good to see so many old faces - both players and fans. Great to see two of my favourite players from years ago in Trevor Bunting and Mark Fiore. 

 

Wasn't the greatest first half but certainly an entertaining second half. It was my first look at Oscar Betts and I thought he did well up against some much bigger lads. 

 

Hope it can become a regular event, certainly a lot of the players seemed up for doing it again.

Really enjoyable day.

 

Thought the linesman was a bit dodgy though, how he missed that awful foul by wilko I don't know. That poor lad will never be the same.xx

Sorry forgot to mention and thank Tom for the good night in the Herschel as usual.

 

Also to Keiron who had us in stitches crying with laughter x

Enjoyable afternoon and all the legends done their selves proud.Well done to them all.Great to see so many turn out.Pity we didn't get a few more supporters.Surprised the event wasn't mentioned in one of the local newpapers.

 

Thought Ryan Spencer still looked fit and probably stole the show.Does he play for anyone still?

 

As Stuntman Mark said great to see 'Billy' Fiore and Trevor Bunting in action.I bet they will ache today! As will a few others,I would imagine.

I was under strict instructions from Kay not to penalise Wilko in any way!

[HorshamRebel]

Always knew assistant referees we're biased and could be bought by the crowd

 

You did a really good job, all three of you. Especially when Tom threw the ball back too hard

200/250? sounds like a great crowd to me.

Be surprised if it were that many.

 

Great to see the players that turned out [quite a few cried off,I presume?] but the fans were somewhat muted in encouragement but understandable given the numbers and how everyone was away from the pitch side.That said, as a one off spectacle and how the game turned out,I'm sure most fans had an enjoyable time.I know I did.

 

Well done to all who put the event together and those players and managers etc who turned out. They did the club proud. 

[HorshamRebel]

Where did you get 200/250 from RR ?

Where did you get 200/250 from RR ?

Gary not sure but might of been me.

from the other side of the pitch and looking in the bar I would say 200/250 was a very close guess.

Good to see a photo and a featured letter by John Tebbitt on our Legends game in the NLP today although he forgot Adam Martin on the currents player that played although that may have been down to space available.

 

Also on the letters page was a spot on piece by Steve Cumber on Farnborough's plight and that of cva's. I'm presuming he's our 'Steve Cumber' who so eloquently writes for our programme on occasion.

 

Both articles worth reading.  

[Reading Rebel]

Yes, Steve Cumber.

 

Shame he no longer writes for our programme, really enjoyed his witty and incisive musing.

 

Any chance he'll make a comeback next season?
