sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 One of our mates reckons he's heard somewhere that the club are going to allow fans to pay to play at SJP during the summer. You just have to get at leat 22, get to use the facilities, £70 a man. We didn't hear this April Fools Day by the way, just wondered if anyone else had heard owt. Just seems a bit random to me.

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Heard the adverts on metro this past week or so at work. So it sounds about right. Think it was 70 notes they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ultraviolet light they use are what makes the difference - i.e. getting growth all year round. I bet they cost a fortune to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Not much more than what you've already said. They gave off a contact number and then the bloke said the cheesey tag line "Say you were there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13845 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Perhaps I still find it a bit sickening and tacky. It devalues the majesty of the ground. You can tell Ashley is a business man though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell Ashley is a business man though The hallowed turf and all that. I used to love it during test matches when you could go on during the lunch break and play yourselves, but that's all gone thanks to the Pakistan cricket fans due to their rioting in 2001. Wankers.

DanTheMan 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 They're doing it at the Riverside as well, I'm refereeing some of the matches! They're donating part of the proceeds to charity, not a bad idea if the pitch can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Without 52,000 fans in there what's the point A field by any other name would.... smell as sweet. You get my drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assalamu alaikum. It's not racism, it's stone cold fact. Up til the Pakistan team toured in 2001, you could go on the field of play during the breaks so long as you went nowhere near the square, and on the pitch for the post match presentation. Then they turned up and their fans ruined pretty much every one day game they played by running on the pitch before the game had finished en masse. Play had to be suspended in one game, and several stewards were injured IIRC. Since then, no going on the field ever, and legislation in place to bang you up if you did.

JaMoUsE 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 you get 90 minutes on the pitch with proper officials and changing room usage. Its £999.99 per team and you can have a squad of upto 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Was it not the 1999 World Cup Luke? I seem to remember some Pakistan fans charging through some of the least useful mesh fencing I have ever seen at one of the games I was at. Was literally just like charging through a paper banner! I agree totally by the way, was fantastic to go on the pitch. Always used to run on to get the ball after a boundary, not allowed to do that any more either!

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 They should offer some sort of Alan Smith package. Sit on the bench for £40,000, come on at 70 minutes and do nothing of note and applaud the Gallowgate for 10 minutes after the final whistle.

No, it was definitely 2001 when they banned people coming on the pitch. Just before we got raped in the Ashes (doesn't narrow it down, I know). The fact they did it in 1999 also is not surprising though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5906 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah I heard it, they must be planning to replace the pitch. Id be up for it for a proper game, wouldnt be shelling out 70 notes for a friendly kick about though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
