Its each to their own, if you dont want to come along you dont have to. Like the people who refuse to pay ticket money for matches when they can watch it on the TV, it is all personal views at the end of the day.

Shaun Teale presenting it, Q and A with two very entertaining former players and then Deano does his after dinner pitch, which is worth the ticket fee alone - trust me he is very funny.

Curry, Keebab or a ten course dinner, this is a charity fundraiser which is designed to entertain fans and raise a few bob at the end. Food is not important, in my opinion



I've said this before, but I wish you all the luck in the world in raising money for charity, but I still think it's way overpriced for what it is, and I'm entitled to say that I think.

I'm just going out for what is essentially a pint of water with roughly 4% of alcohol in it, together with the remnants of some hops and yeast.  At £2.80 it's a bloody rip off and costs way more than the constituent ingredients, but it's more about the experience than the cost.  See you later.

blimey. You'd think the price was £138 given the fuss being created. It's clear that you won't be going, but it's not overpriced at all to do a social with a couple of ex-players for a good cause and a meal. Each to their own and all that, but I think you rubbed a few people the wrong way about this by complaining about the cost right off the bat. There's enough to moan about already that we don't need every thread reduced to misery.

Imagine having to pay £38 BEFORE you can buy a drink.

Are you being forced to pay? You can always just choose not to go.

I remember going to a fans forum in the Holte Suite when Deano & Dalian were at the height of their powers.
Doug put in an appearance of course. Doug kept pronouncing Dalians name as "Darlian". Eventually the penny dropped as fans and Deano said his name stressing the correct pronunction amidst general giggling in the audience. Doug then started pronouncing it correctly but then for no apparent reason started thinking he was a poet, calling him Dalian the Stallion. This meant more general mirth amongst the audience while the two players tried to keep a straight face in front of the club chairman.

It is nice thing to do but I don't bother with anything with talking as I will have to listen. I am deaf. Deano and Dalian are exciting pair of players. I think they are probably last exciting pair upfront we have. Wouldn't it be nice to have Deano playing with Bent :(
