64 names announced? That is quite unbelievably good work! Tell all your old R&D friends and family and make sure we get a big crowd for this one. These sort of events will only help the current set up, on and off the pitch

#64. Must be Billy Sharp!! That would be fantastic if he were able to attend. Not expecting him not to play though.

Would love it if we could get Gary Butterworth to come along, maybe even fly Onandi Lowe in for it :biggrin:

Hats off to the folk who came up with and have been organising this idea, the way the players are announced has been fun to watch and it will be great to see old faces who we've adored over the years, old fan or young fan? there's something for everyone.

This sort of game can only be held maybe once every 5+ or even 10 years as it wouldn't get the same interest every year, so to organise it so well and get such a good selection of players signed up has the potential to pleasantly surprise a few when the total amount raised is released.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

Can we get an update on the number of tickets sold or is that to be kept under wraps?

Will people be able to pay at the gate as well as having a ticket, it might get a few late stragglers in.
