10k to play for us

[Stato]

Would you pay 10k if you had the money knocking about(if only), to do the same as this guy but for us?

A Macclesfield fan became the club's first 'Pay to Play' guest in the club's friendly against Stoke City on Saturday.

James Gorfin, 40, paid £10,000 to do what most football fans dream of - spending a week as a member of the team's squad, being put through sprint drills, shooting practice, short-sided matches, before making a substitute appearance against the Potters.

"I think everyone reckons they could do better when they're watching a game," he tells the Macclesfield Express. "You think you'd have loads of time on the ball but it's not as easy as that. It's pretty mental how quick the game is, and I did get smashed by one of the Stoke lads when I got one of my passes away."

In June, Macclesfield told BBC Radio Manchester they hoped to raise £20,000 by offering one person the chance to play for the club in a Conference Premier or cup fixture, before abandoning that idea soon after.

Been having this argument at work and I would absolutely do it, work mate reckons its a waste of money.

i'd definitely do this if money wasnt an issue. once in a lifetime experience.

Would love a week training with the lads but couldnt play a game because I know how shit I am

 

[BibbyBlue85]

Without doubt I'd do it

 

[SuperYaya]

No way. I can think of many better ways to blow 10k.

 

[bluestew666]

I'd do it, after they'd see me play I'd get a contract on £20,000 a week anyway so win win.

Without batting an eyelid

 

[Dunne's own goal]

depends on your bank balance I suppose. It's a lot of money and too much for me to even think about right now but if I had a bit more money I'd think about it.
that would be a top week, training alongside City squad etc I'd love it!

but I love our club so much that I wouldn't go anywhere near the pitch if it was a competitive game. one of the early season friendlies somewhere maybe at a push lol.

I'd do it. It would be the best week of my life! And it would be the last week of my life, too, the missus would kill me!

 

[Blue Smarties]

I would, although I'd pay double to play for Manchester United.

 

[GXCity]

I would, although I'd pay double to play for Manchester United.

I'd pay double to play against them. In fact if Neville or Keane were still playing make that treble

If it was against the rags i'd nutmeg Ferdinand, snap rooney and score a hattrick.

 

[LookIfoundmyKnob]

If it was against the rags, I wouldn't care what amount, I would pay it. Probably give away a kidney as well.

Pay 10k...Score a hat-trick...Earn a trial..Earn a contract..Tear ACL in warm-up..Released from contract at end of the season

Quote. ' The dad of two and self confessed Manchester United fan even had a shot on goal but he was substituted after the attempt exacerbated a groin injury picked up in training'

Why am I not surprised?
