Cortese video on Memorial Cup

See on OS video of Cortese talking about Markus. Apparently a taster of a longer video being shown at Memorial Cup about his friendship with ML and his (ML's) plans for the club. Sadly, they also say that ticket sales show that people are going to buy on day..sounds ominous. Wish I wasn't away...hope there's a decent turnout.

 

Yeah It almost seemed like they were saying no ones brought tickets and you should because he was your saviour. What is true to be fair to them.

 

Crowd may depend on weather. Nice day..fun fair..good day out.

 

I'm gonna go and buy 7 tickets tomorrow to be fair.

 

That will probably double the tickets sold so far unfortunately.

 

hmmm, not sure a bit of emotional blackmailing will have much effect on ticket sales.

Friendlies are friendlies and this strange 45 minute game thing has always sounded odd to me. Added with it being quite expensive, and that's probably why ticket sales are low.

We all have a special affection for Markus. Doesn't diminish it in the slightest if fans don't turn up on Saturday for whatever reason.

Unless.... Markus' family are there and Cortese is concerned a low turn out would upset them as he's promised a big crowd???

 

Loved the video!!

 

Yes so I gather. Hopefully they will sell more tomorrow because the new shirt goes on sale. Or maybe I am being optimistic.

 

To see a 45 minute game for £16 is alot of money.

 

Well it is 3x 45min games so that is 50% longer than a normal game lol

 

To be fair, you get 3 x 45 min games and a funfair plus entertainment for the kids. I expect they've sold quite a few tickets but it may be lower than they expected..remember you have quite an outlay getting 2 other teams in and the funfair. As I said, hope its good weather then people might just turn up.

 

Do it for Markus guys,forget the price of the tickets it's for a good cause

 

Do it for Markus guys,it's for a good cause.

 

Well corrected. But I mean it's not going to be a frantic fast paced game like in the league is what I meant.

 

Yeah I can't see it being a goal fest tbh

 

Interesting to see if AOC plays. I'm sure he will, though he may struggle to walk if Nicola's had him thrashed.

 

Rain or shine, if you are free and can afford to go you should.
Enough people on these pages and 606 including myself have had their rants and raves about our recent plight and know is the time to put up.

I know the success of the day does not just hang round the necks of just you or me but enough people read these posts to make a difference.

I just hope the turn out does not embarrass the board as they have done so much for our great club.

 

I have my ticket now get down to St Mary's and get yours.

No excuses accepted except for Fran who will be on holiday.

 

You're all forgetting we are'nt playing league one teams !

 

Im buying mine tomorrow and getting the new shirt along with Saintsfan4life
