I was at both games. Got pumped off Coventry with Dion Dublin scoring a hat trick. Pretty sure David hagen scored for us. 2nd game I remember John Leslie in goals for hibs and pulling off a few decent saves. The neil Berry game. All I remember from that was the pink tartan strip and Berry being taken off injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibbers Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Some Stoke fans seem very angry about the cost of streaming the game, £12. Calling for someone at the club to be sacked! To be fair others have told them to calm down. I don’t stream many games but I’m sure it’s never been much cheaper than that. Plus, it’s a testimonial so maybe that explains the pricing. Anyway, looking forward to getting back to Tynie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got our tickets ages ago but at that point the sales looked awful. Hope it gets a good turn out. If anyone deserves a big attendance its Locke. Hope there are a few surprises, Disappointed with it looking like a friendly game with A half time penalty p!ss around chucked in as a second thought being all that 20 years service deserves. Not expecting a 90 min traditional testimonial with old pros and former teams. But I actually feel bad and pretty angry that's all he gets. Very little promotion or build up from the club trying to actually make any part of it about GL. We should have a gary locke day or week (that ties in with a weekend fixture). Use the plaza, kids face painting, music, food, photos and autographs stand, then a game between two squads Gary locke wants involved. I.e 98-2012 or cup select vs former team or a squad he coached or picks. What a wasted opportunity to let a legend, coach, captain, manager, ambassador, tea lady, and legend who had the worst possible season and squad in his lifetime to use while begging to have a club to support the very next day. It's really hard to believe it's not just a first team friendly with a 10 min effortless p!ss about for Locke. No thought or respect has been shown by the pathetic attempt put into this. I feel guilty and sorry that I'm even attending or being there to contribute to the tragic effort put towards it being all about him to really do his involvement and commitment justice and enjoyment he truly deserves. Maybe I am wrong, or have a different perspective on it all? My personal opinion believes we owe him and his service so much more than a penalty kick cameo for a few minutes jammed into a game unrelated or connected with/for him? He should be thankful for what’s he’s getting. He’s no kicked a ball in 20 years and has since then probably picked up a good wage each month. How many footballers are kept on the wage bill after they have hung up their boots? Yes he hearts daft so he’s getting paid well for a job he loves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke's attendance is among the top and by the time match day tickets and PPV sales are added in only Robbo and Doddie (large Rangers support) have done better.
