so which guests DID turn up then, and how much was raised?
Roy Cheetham, Tony book, Tommy Booth, Vicky Kloss, Danny Wilson, a youth team player and 2 of the ladies team, plus John Henshaw was there so agreed to speak.
They were good, what i could hear of them - i've never been in such a noisy place of people who had paid to hear city people speak only to then decide to talk amongst themselves instead while getting very drunk! :( It was a minority, but a loud minority, and those of us not by the stage couldn't hear well at all.
Glad i went - got one picture with the trophy, but wanted to get another and my partner to get one, but people stood all aruond it drinking once the speaking started so it was hard to get near, so crammed around it of people not having pictures with it you couldn't manage it, then it suddenly vanished at 9.55! Oh well! Thought there'd be time when the speaking was officially over and people moved, no one announced what time the trophy was leaving so figured it would be there til the end. I turned up as 7 as had been told wouldnt be allowedin that room until then, only to find it over half full!! But i'm happy with my one picture, should've took more then but felt bad holding up the queue (serves me right for manners!!!!) Speaking of manners, thanks to the drunk bloke who thumped my other half in the chest/stomach for accidently walking in front of his mate who was having a photo - very nice of you to do that to fellow blue, and to the one who called them a prick when they tried to get Vieras autograph ("haven't you ever seen a footballer before you fucking prick") - thanks again, you made them too embarrased to go up to any other player that night, cheers fellow blue.
But not the organisors fault!!! Thanks for organising it all Cyber Blue :)
And i'm glad money was raised for a worthy cause!
