Great afternoon despite the very disappointing turn-out which I think was round 300-350 - as previously posted the weather was fine and sunny, fantastic support from the City Legends' players - not sure what else could have been done to promote the game as we had lots of radio, newspapers and web publicity???
I'm sure we'll still have raised a few quid for the charity's involved . . . the commemorative programme appears to have been well received and we still have some copies available at £2 including post and packaging (see early post for address details).
There was some great play from both sides and some equally great goals - the video highlights, photographs and a match report will be available on <a class="postlink" href="http://thetownblog.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://thetownblog.blogspot.com/</a> over the next couple of days.
May I thank all of those who did attend, as well as the players and officials of both clubs, sponsors and programme advertisers, MCFC staff and officials, the Referee and his assistants, the Former Players' Association, John Gwynne and special guest Steve Fleet. Sorry if I have missed anyone!
The Former Players' Association (Derek Partridge) donated a signed City shirt to our club after the game (containing the signatures of the City players involved today). I have in turn donated this to the Man City Centenary Supporters' Association in the hope it can raise them some more cash.

Great afternoon out. Apart from two things. We lost, and there were no bloody pasties.
Good to see that the 'old' guys still have the touch!

It was a good match, it was a shame there weren't more people but the Legends gave us a good game. John Gwynne (?) from Sky Sports who was pitch side with his microphone was very funny.
The second half kicking off before the officials had arrived and with 12 Legends on the field was good fun and the fact that toward the middle of the second half a couple of the Town players pulled on City jerseys and played for us was brilliant.
Thanks for a very enjoyable few hours. Good to see Andy Dibble in goal in the first half and then out in the field second half. Think the Town players must have thought he was moving the goal posts in the first half the number of times they managed to hit the post without the ball crossing the line!!
Thanks to everyone involved.
