For the Red Army Fund...

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1714202,00.html

Should be a good night out I reckon

Especially with Phil King there as well. He was superb for the Lou Macari do a couple of years ago.

Hopefully by then DW will have his squad assembled & will be able to give us the low down on what he thinks the new season will bring.

Looking forward to it. Nice to see the club add a few interesting lots to the auction too. Is thisrelated to 'payment' for the RAF involvement in the Gordon Greer transfer? Either way nice to see some bridge building.

will there be food?

I believe due to the fact that the payment for Greer made a 'significant dent' in the RAF funds, the club has decided to help promote the fund, because at the end of the day, they are the major beneficiaries.

Don't know, but the bar will be open !!

As the RAF benefits the club also they are more than happy to help out with items for auction.

JFW - No food I'm afraid, although they do crisps etc :D

Should be a good night though I think with Phil King on the mike a chance to ask Danny about his new captures and hopes etc for the season, be interesting to see how pre-season was in Don's day also and what he makes of it all these days

Phil and Danny played in the same Sheffield Wednesday side of course.

Last time they did an event together there were a fair amount of stories flying around.

and its free?? I like the freeness

Most of the stories referred to the size of Phil King's arse these days, and also about his Cavendish Square short-cut.

Are we going to sign a striker?

Just a quick update on a few other auction items we've been given for the auction on the night:

Subscriptions to FourFourTwo magazine
a full Kit for your team supplied by FourFourTwo
copies of Fifa 09 donated by EA Sports
Train with the STFC Squad
Travel to the Brentford game on the team coach, help lay the kit out.... (for 2 people)

This is only a small selection there will be other things on the night

Are there tickets for this or what?

I'm confused too Batch. It's been mentioned earlier in the thread that it's free, so can we just turn up?

You can indeed just turn up on the night, as said before entry is free

It's free but don't forget the cheque book as you may want some of the items in the auction &/or make a donation to the RAF

I dont have any actual money! sorry!

Can i reassure you this is a chat with don rogers and not me.

Thanks

Oh well Im not going then?

Maybe the RAF could be persuaded to accept payment in kind ?

Hmm interesting idea

How would we account for that ?

Market rates

I guess it'd be interesting watching the bidding.

What's the 'market rates', Paul ?

If any one knows a Sunday league team who is in need of some kit that particular lot looks ideal

I think it will be a great item shirts, shorts, socks certainly suit a sunday (or saturday) team that needs a kit

**BUMP**

On Tuesday night...7.30pm KO....Legends Lounge

now lets have a guess at how many times DW gets asked if he is worried that he hasn't got a new striker in yet??  ::)

Perhaps it is no coincidence he has again yet commented on the subject hoping he doesn't spend all tomorrow evening talking about it....

My main concern is that we still haven't found out his preferred variety of cheese.

knob?

I'd have Wilson down as a Wensleydale man...could be wide of the mark, he might lean towards the more esoteric Swaledale.

Why not come along and ask him then ?

Considering going to this now, hopefully it'll be well attended.

are you considering going because of the cheese question?

Im teaching total body conditoining now tonight soz

But you was entered into the auction.....winner get's to take you on a date, you haver to be there so they can inspect the goods  :D

sorry but I dont think that lot would raise much money!!!!

Did anyone go? Was it a good night? Did Wilson discuss our shortage of keepers? Does he have any lined up?

Did Nemo turn up to ask the cheese question?

It's dairylea Sussex

So it's true then, Danny will do anything for the taste of Dairylea.

T'was a good night. Well attended, with Phil King very good as compere. Raised over a grand for the RAF

so what did he say on the forward question then?

Gruyure

I'm going to guess something along the lines of "we are working hard, we dont want just anybody, these things take time, better the right person late" blah blah blah.

Do hope these increasing Trundle rumours are 100% rubbish!

fuckin hell you want a striker but just want one you would like yeah

bloody right. get Torres and Rooney here now or i'll go all DV on you and grow a stupid beard and start saying we're doomed

meh

It was indeed. Well done to everyone who helped put it together.

And to the three speakers - all three were excellent and leaving aside the managerial angle it was interesting to get the views of three different generations of players on the same forum.  Loved hearing Don talk through his final goal against the Arse again. Legend!

(And no Danny didn't say anything much new about the strikers - basically, "Yes we're looking but we're not going to sign shit or nearly good enough for the sake of it". Which sounds about right)

It was a good night with a really good turnout, as Paul D says listening to the views of Don, Danny & Gordon was interesting, and the auction went well as well raising over £1200 on the night.

Did anyone understand the question the guy asked DW about finances ?? ;D

Loved Phil King half way through the diatribe.......... Shut IT! ......... brilliant.
