Speak for yourself =D

Definitely a chance to have a good laugh and a few pints and let your hair down!

Defiantly, a great night even without Adge

The Wurzels are great! Get up there on Friday!

Amidst all the excitement of last nights great win and the prospect of new owners, I just wanted to post a reminder that The Wurzels play Boots & Laces this Friday (2nd December). There will be some tickets on the door but to be safe ring 01803 313377 and secure your tickets.More tickets sold the bigger the contribution to the Players Fund. It will be a fun night plus plenty of cider and pasties.

I agree that it is disappointing. I think it was cancelled too early. We could have sold 30-40 tickets at the Fans Forum but decision was taken by the Club, not by me. We had a very funny script and some good panel members including ex-players. Maybe another time. The Wurzels always put on a good show, not for the music purists but if you want a laugh and a drink, and to let your hair down, you will enjoy this event.

Bumping this thread back up in view of the 'Constructive ideas' topic. I was really surprised that the planned event had to be cancelled due to poor ticket sales - with match day gates of 1500, were there really not 100 supporters willing to turn up for this? If I lived closer, I would have gone. Not sure about The Wurzels right enough but seemingly they're still a crowd puller...if it was S Club I'd make the journey

Appreciate your support and your campaign for the new stand name, slightly disappointed as I thought you might go all the way and go for the Candy Stadium......although that might suggest we are a soft touch or at least a soft middle! This is not the opportunity for lots of "sweet" related puns.

Well it only takes Southport to arrive at the 'Candy Stadium' for us to turn into a bunch of Everton mints!

Really does show we are soft that! Should have made them play in our away kit from last year or something similar.

Mate, I am devastated for you.

You'll recall I'm not much one for giving up, but have we considered the idea that maybe that could be the kindest thing to do for yourself? There's only so much of a battering that one man's love for any football club can take before things start to turn sour. I know your life is full of marvelous things and that TUFC are just a small cog in a big machine, but it would be sad on both sides for you to lose your passion for the club for the sake of repeated body blows.

I might petition the new owners for the Sir Andy Candy stand.

Matt.

Dear All,
Not the biggest story that is likely to happen this week, but I have been told by the Club that the “Fun & Games Evening” has been cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales. Maybe not surprising, and I am sure some will see it as symptomatic of the general malaise around Plainmoor at the moment. However, it is still disappointing as it would have been a fun evening with some old favourites from happier times with lots of very funny “true” stories to raise a smile in these dark times.
Anyway, all is not lost, The Wurzels are still booked for Friday 2nd December at Boots & Laces and it will be a very good evening’s entertainment if you fancy a good sing song and a few pints.

Thanks Matt for your support in backing this event. If supported by enough people ( surely we can sell 100 tickets?) it will raise money for the Club. Clearly by itself it will not be not sufficient to change the Club's fortunes, but taken with other initiatives it could be the difference in be able to loan a new player or not at some point before the end of the season. It is not money for nothing, it will be a good evening with plenty of fun and the chance to chat with a few ex-players and reminisce about Wembley finals etc.

The only thread on this board which has the sole and direct intention of actually doing something useful for the club rather than whinge, knowledge-free, about what a farce we have become and it's absolutely deserted.

Standard.

Andy, I know the time and effort which goes in to this. Although I can't be there this time, I might well purchase a couple of tickets anyway, for you to do with as you see fit (chuck 'em in the bin if you like).

Matt.

This is a reminder about the “Fun & Games Night” on the 18th November, in No 10’s. It is a double header that includes a festive quiz plus my scripted version of the popular BBC panel game “Would I lie to you”. Kevin Nicholson is one of the captains with Tim Sills and Chris Todd in his team. Comedian Noel Brodie is the other captain with two other panel members yet to be confirmed, but hopefully also from a show business background. Tickets will cost £10 and bar food can be purchased at a small additional cost. It should be an interesting and fun evening.
