Pre-Season Friendlies

[PeterWithesShin]

thanks, cdbullyweefan

It's definitely insisting on one reference number per ticket, but I think we'll just go in the main stand (ie not the away end)

Just phone them up, they should be able to use your old ref and create a new one as well.

All ticket games for friendlies? Even as a mid table Championship club our pull is still bigger than anyone else around. A nice little reminder.

It's likely it's so as Shrewsbury know in advance how many stewards they need on the day.

I would imagine it'll be half the first team squad (we're playing Telford as well) but which half is anyone's guess.

Anyone not received Shrewsbury tickets yet? Bought them over a week ago and still not got them.

Yes.

I've got Shrewsbury tickets. Might be worth giving them a ring if they haven't come by tomorrow or Thursday.

It's a shame if they are screening Watford game, we want as big a crowd as possible at the game to honour GT

I agree, I really can't see us doing him the respect he deserves. A full house is the least he deserves but how we make that happen is beyond me. £5 entry on a night sometime near christmas would be my choice?

That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that.

A night game will always be worse attended.

We should be doing a bit more to publicise this game though, and I don't see the point of making it free to air, that's just asking people not to turn up.

Be nice if a few old stars turn up. McGrath, Cowans, Barnes for instance.

Is it actually a fundraiser or just a GT tribute match?

If it's the latter then giving all season ticket holders free entry and charging everyone else £10/£1 kids and a couple of interesting signings beforehand might help

But I still remember Sid getting less than 5000 for his testimonial. And he's the finest player i've ever seen
