I'm over Wise now. I wish him luck up at Newcastle. Said whilst smirking of course.
I wish him all the best in agreeing his compensation package in the coming weeks. He should leave a happy man

Not knocking the idea but what has Robbo done for a testimonial. He fought his demons to beat alcoholism fair play to him but as a footballer he had the talent but was pretty piss poor. You thank him for his efforts etc Sunday but a testimonial seems a bit OTT to me... He pretty much did nothing footballing wise at STFC.

something to do with the fact hes had to retire aged 28
If you had been in a job for 3 years and then had to retire due to health reasons you'd expect your work mates/employer to do something wouldnt you?
You would expect them to say, nah fuck him he hasnt done anything other the 3 years....
Its less to do with his time at Swindon and more to do with career ending. I'd like to hope some Bristol City fans would come down as well....

Whether you agree with the game or not Roberts' problems have been well documented for quite a while now and it's things like this game, which STFC are allowing to take place at the CG, that show the club as being a caring employer. These things don't go unnoticed.

nowhere in that article does it say that it's a testimonial and that he'll receive any money from the game...
by the sounds of it, he wanted to enjoy a send off with a testimonial-style match and asked if the club would host it. given christian's alcoholism i wouldn't be surprised if the profits were given to sporting chance or something.
if it was a testimonial or he was doing it for financial reasons, i'd agree...but it seems like a nice way to end a career that was cut short by injury and gives him chance to say goodbye
