I have made a highlights video on Youtube of all the goals from last years Masters. Get us in the mood for this year. Enjoy...

Nope, this was the only one I played in, sos!

Looking at the figures, bids totalled £5111 from the 2004 fans fixture, where as the staff fixture in 2008 only totalled £4201. And Corney didn't have to risk giving any money back in 2004!

Hi all, I have shortened down the DVD from the 2004 Fans Fixture into a highlights video on YouTube! Anyone on here play? I was the number 4, centre mid for the blues, Dave Mathieson. This has got me thinking, this was much better than the Fans v Staff fixture. Everything about this was perfect. No subs meant you played 90 mins, DVD release with commentary, pie supper in the Players Lounge, names read out on the tannoy of the line-ups and scorers. I would have played in the staff matches since, but the idea I could play £200+ and get subbed off wasn't appealing! And basically it was always going to end in a big defeat for the fans. After this years cancellation of the staff match, does anyone think it would be better to do it this way again? Anyone have any contacts to make it happen? They could do it with the original format, but instead of bidding for numbers, you could bid for a position and choose your number. Maybe a bid for 2 keepers, 2 right backs, 4 centre backs etc, so that the highest bidder wins. Highest bidders play home, next play away. For example in 2004, a striker for the home team paid £300, but away £200, and there might have been a bidder for £240 for the home team that missed out, losing the club money! Here is the match report too! Fans Fixture 2004 Match Report Home team managed by Sean Jarvis, Away team by Gordon Lawton. Final score, Home 6-4 Away. 10th May 2004. Commentary by Dan Shaw.

TP? Does he play at the back in charity matches now or something? I am counting on him banging a few in! Can see Shez and Dux sitting to be honest.

Cheers for the sarcastic welcome! I had read that thread, but I was more trying to talk about where we're going to sit, and get us more up for it as it is this weekend. In that thread it's mainly talk about the beer prices, temperature etc, and only a bit about where we're gonna sit. So Block 109 then? I've never been to the MEN as I said, that's why I was asking. And I listed the fully confirmed squad as was announced today on the OS, and thought the YouTube videos were a nice touch. How wrong was I!?

Is everyone else well up for the Masters this weekend? If you haven’t got a ticket, get yourself down there! Only £14 or something. Ticketmaster All the squads haven’t been announced, but I should imagine they will be on here in full in the next couple of days. North West Masters 2008 So our squad is: Jon Hallworth Darren Sheridan Lee Duxbury Mike Milligan Rick Holden David Eyres Tommy Wright Andy Ritchie Tony Philliskirk Official Site Thread And here’s some YouTube footage of the legends mentioned: Where are we gonna sit? Should try and get as many ‘tics sat together as poss. Never been to the MEN, is there a section with a good view near a bar? I'm coming over from the Isle of Man with a mix of Liverpool, City and United fans! Wonder if Rick Holden will be on the boat with me, he does live here. I'll make sure he doesn't have a drink in the bar!
