Thanks for the comments and support guys, I'm sure that it WILL be a night to remember.

I'd like to add another comment if I may, this time from someone else ...

The words of the Warrington Wolves coach Tony Smith in conversation with a dozen injured 1 MERCIAN soldiers after the Warrington V Castleford game last season;

“We put our bodies on the line for our club … you put your lives on the line for your country, and for that we are forever grateful.”





'not a bad bloke.

hey Al hows it going out there??
this event was outstanding mate and i feel for the person who takes over your job as they now have some extremely big shoes to fill. you would have loved it too mate, WHOLE of the south stand were on thier feet as we stood in middle of pitch at half time singing "barmy army" to us. some great support from both players and supporters, was amazing to see people putting notes in the buckets we had for collections.

When did the Taliban become a terrorist organisation and not a political party, who's politics reflect their religious beliefs?

Sometime between the Soviet Union pulling out and the 2nd Gulf war I think, but I can't find a date.

Good point subtly made. 370 British troops killed in Afghanistan, and for what exactly?

Fantastic actions by the club and, of course, 1st mercian. I wish you all the best out there and a safe return home

its a shame Wigan dont do something similar
