Help for Heroes Rugby Match

I have searched (briefly), sorry if this has been posted before, but worthy of a second airing even if it has already seen the light of day.

Help for Heroes Challenge Match

Rugby fund raiser for Headley Court, Sept 20th at Twickers.

Should be a good day out for a good cause.

Just posted this to "get it back" to the top of page 1 and in sight.

Why not make it a sticky until the 20 Sep?

The match ball was planned to be flown into the game. However, the powers that be at JHC thought the risk too great!...

Shame, would have been a good bit of PR.

Morning again

Now I am on leave for the next two weeks so could somebody keep posting on this to keep it at the top.

Of course it could be made a sticky until the game

Support our heros and of course Rugby is the best game in the world.

A few months back I saw a Chinook hovering in the stadiums car park, made for a double look when I saw it in the wing mirror.

So sad that most of you can’t find the time to keep this thread alive. Ashamed; I would be if I was still in.

Unhappy

So sad that something as worthy as this can't be made a sticky, but I suppose TSR2 prints are very important.

It would be nice to make it a sticky - however, the thread's done it's job for me. I heard of the match when I saw this thread started and I'll now be taking a group to the match.

Back to the top.

Good to see a journalist having an idea that gets general support on 'prune!

Must be a first!

Tickets arrived today, small stag party of 16, giddy with excitement for a cracking day out.
Posting to keep it visible

Can someone publish the names of the players on each team - 2 names per day should do it nicely?
