He said he has asked him to play, whether he does or not is another matter :wink:

Hope not, don't want the game to turn into a panto. The players need a proper workout, not a mess about.

I remember going to Nicky Kiss's and it was crazy, they played different sports with a rugby ball, including football, good fun, but not much of a match.

sam has wrote on twitter,
"great to see Rads making a comeback", "May even be a few more surprises on the night",
So who else do you reckon is going to have a go, maybe Lockers brother in law?.

Im going to the match and while it would be epic to see Rads once again don the Cherry and White, i agree i dont want this match to be a panto, there arent many pre-season matches and some of the lads still need to blow off the cobwebs. Plus if Hudds know we are treating it as a joke they may bring a far weaker team than they might of done. Good PR, Poor preperation

You do need to ask, is this being treated as a pre season game or a testimonial. If a pre season game, I wouldn't expect lockers to play if he is still carrying a niggling injury.
Hard one to call, as I am sure most fans would love to see some "surprises"!

I know this is by way of a thank you for the hard work put in by Lockers.But my impression is that albeit a testimonial we should also be treating the game with the respect it deserves.This is an opportunity to test the strength of the opposition and every opportunity to give the lads a good blow out.We need to see at what stage the players are at before the season begins.Whilst being a massive fan of Rads it would have been nice to see him at a younger and fitter age.Sadly this is not the case.I also appreciate that some of the names mentioned will be at the request of Lockers and I am mindful of this.However I do wish to see a game in which both teams compete and not a knock about.Call me selfish if you wish but this is my stance on things. I also hope that it is going to be a big turn out for a stalwart of the club and game. :D

many fans called for a Testimonial Game for Lockers and now we have it we should treat it as a friendly?. this is a game to thank Lockers for his services to the club before the serious business begins, Hudds wont play too strong a team anyway becasue they wont want to show their hand before Feb 5th.
I hope Rads plays and who knows maybe Deacs and Coles will be tempted to pull the boots on one more time. JT playing would be interesting although i dont see that happening, i mean who in the right mind would allow a contracted player to play for another sport in a meaningless freindly.. o er... :D :wink:
