Ossie's testimonial

[mythbuster]

Although it's really sad that only 7k people are going,

Bit early to call that, isn't it? It's never gonna be a sellout, so a lot of us might just be relaxed in the knowledge that we'll get in? As if only 7k are gonna go to Goodison to see us play Porto, regardless of Ossie.

I wasn't saying that as a fact i was just responding to the post above my own about only 7k sold so far.

Yeah, fair enough. Like I said though mate, there's never gonna be a rush to get tickets for these type of games. I'd be extremely surprised if the attendance wasn't at LEAST double - treble the amount of tickets sold so far.

For those that were there, how many did Hibbert get for his? Imagine it'd be similar for Leon.

Just looked it up. The echo said 17,500. That's kinda crap

A signing in time to play would do wonders I'm sure.

Hint hint.

He made very important contributions in 2004/2005 to that campaign when we were being tipped to go down then stunned everyone

I'm sure a lot of people are just going to turn up on the day to buy tickets, always the case with friendlies.

 

[HarrisonEFC]

I have bought my ticket, he has been loyal in an unloyal game, its the least we can do.

PS not recieved my ticket through the post yet (cutting it fine)

Should be able to pay on the day shouldn't we?

I just want to say that although many people get annoyed with Ossie being in the team, that he should get a full house and a great reception for his testimonial. He isn't a legend or anything, but a single club player who has given his all for the club, and for most of his career was played out of position by Moyes.

So, for one game, just get behind him and give him the support that he deserves

No thanks mate, enjoy the game, but not for me

I'll riot when he retires

 

[shaun]

Any rumours on guest appearances or will we treat it as proper pre season friendly???

 

[Furey1878]

In light of today's signing, I've just got a ticket for this.

I don't get this really.

Would you expect a great fanfare after working in a job for ten years ?

He's been extremely handsomely paid to do a job which most people can only dream of.

Yea, but it's £25 on the day and £20 in advance.
