An Evening with Dean Saunders & Dalian Atkinson

[Risso]

Two of my favourite former Villa players those two, I'd definitely go if I could get over.

The price of the flight might be cheaper than a ticket for the do itself.

You've obviously never had to catch a flight from the IOM.  I could probably pay for a table of 10 and still spend less money than a flight.

Personally I think it sounds like a good deal.  When you take into consideration the costs of hiring a venue, paying for the food and waiting staff, then the speakers' fees, that's cheap.  As a company we take clients to events like this over here, and normally expect to pay well over £50 a head.

It was either this price with a curry meal, or around the £50 mark for a three course dinner.

With this being an event for the ' fans ' , we felt the cheaper option and more casual approach of a curry meal would work best.

We have Gazza on at the Burlington in October, and that one is £750 for a table of ten. Guessing you wont be coming along to that one either !!!

You know, if you don't like it you could always stop posting sniping comments on the thread. Stop pissing on people's chips, you miserable git.

I'd love to go, but I think the tix will have gone by the time I get paid

Nothing miserable or spiteful at all. Just giving my opinion that I think it's well overpriced for what it is.

I'm surprised it is so cheap.  Deano and Dalian can't be making too much on it and I doubt there will be very little profit at the end of it either.

Erm, no.

Perhaps you'd like to present a breakdown of the costs involved before declaring it to be expensive.  It's not like they're wondering down the road for a curry in Sparkbrook.

Haha why would we want to do that ?! So people can find out what the ex players earn from these kind of things ?

Im sure you wouldnt want your wages broadcasted on a forum !

[The Man With A Stick]

Dean Saunders will then take to the mic for his fantastic after dinner pitch.

Deano doing all the hardwork as per usual, nothing's changed.

[Toronto Villa]

Two players that bring back great memories. I'd love to be there, and £38 including dinner is very reasonable indeed.

Erm, no.

And nor will Gazza on past form!

I remember a Deano and Dalian night at the old bingo hall. They did a quiz at the end and in time honoured school style you had to swop with your neighbour for marking puposes. Only my mate didn't bother and just wrote all the answers down as they were read out and submitted the sheet.

He won a signed football, and with a neck of purest brass, had his photo taken and it appeared in the programme at the next home game.

I would also liked to have gone met Deano and Dalian once before top men.

saunders is the only player i ever saw who ran rings round mcgrath- it was at the baseball ground and i think  89-90 season, saunders repeatedly turned him inside out and needless to say i was delighted when we signed him from liverpool a few years later

another memory of that day was a young lad who looked about 12 warming up in front of the away end with teeth as bright as floodlights-the soon to be wonderful dwight yorke.

anything other than curry ?

[Risso]

I'd have to say that they are probably my favourite Villa forward pairing, I just have so many great memories of watching them play.
