Nope, I think 5 years + at about £100k a season is enough support, I'll be walking in Derbyshire instead, hope you enjoy the game though.

Oh and for the record I won't be going on Sunday, shortage of cash and other things to do but hope Horney gets a good crowd.

Then phrase it better, because it read like a continuation of your digs from the other day.

And more generally, attendance at a friendly testimonial game is all about personal choice rather than fans giving something back because they ought to. Horne has been well paid over the years and the fans have paid his wages. I'll be there because I want to be, not because I feel I ought to be.

not a dig i assure you.. i will also be there

Enjoy your walk.
No point in turning out for 'waste of time friendlies'.
Will we be getting honoured with your presence at any of the 'meaningful competition'
games?

Indeed you will, hopefully more than last season, but it depends where I end up working, London looks likely which will limit my opportunities, but I'll make as many as I can, home and away.

Excellent!
No excuses for not making The Stoop now.

The important thing on Sunday is

1) I remember where the KC is

2) I remember to fill and take my flask

3) I get some unsuspecting person to buy me a pint



And FC give KR a right toasting

that £15 will be added to the Stag do Fund and ensuring that Lacyface gets destroyed.

We shall see.

Out of interest, have you ever lived out of a suitcase and spent less than 30 hours in your family home every weekend, for over 3 years?

Affirmative.
Although I manipulate my 'global' travels around my team.

then you work for a very considerate employer, I work for myself, makes it a little more stressful.

I'm full of .
He's a grade one .

Some one has just asked me if you can pay at the gate ?

I checked the FC site and I could not find it



TA in advance

Quite right. All the talk of 'giving something back' for all Horne has given the club over the years in nonsense. Horne has 'given' the sum total of nil to the club. He's a (relatively) well paid employee of the club doing what he is being paid to do. He's not some sort of charity worker, selflessly giving of his own time for the benefit of others.

All Ticket mate

and must be bought before saturday 12.00

lol even you find yourself stressful to deal with then

Thanks gentlemen

I will impart said news to the KR supporter who enquired

oh it wazs one of them, tell him hes ok to turn up on the day with cash then

you are the 18th man , you carry that FC banner high for us all pal

It doesn't stop me supporting the club just because I don't think we (as supporters) owe anything to its well-paid employees. I attend matches and I buy merchandise. That goes towards paying the players' more than adequate wages. I don't feel I 'owe it to Horney' to attend the derby - I'm doing so for the reason I always attend matches.

I agree with that

Do I qualify for one of these then

I'm not sure what your point is here. AA hasn't said anything about not supporting the side or any of it's players, and has already stated that he'll be at the game. What more do you expect him to do?



I'm a big fan of Horne and have enjoyed watching him over the years. I'm happy that by attending the game at the weekend I'll be adding to what is effectively a long service award/bonus for him, and I will enjoy being able to celebrate his 10 years at the club. These things will add to the event, although I generally attend the Rovers friendly anyway (when at the KC) and am not going because I feel I owe Horne anything.
