Wonderful that the final game will be at the Amex.

Seeing as the original idea came from NSC, a big turnout from us would be a great way to say a final goodbye.

I was involved in a small way in the first one and holds some good memories for me, shame I am not there.
Who knows, maybe the start of a great weekend as the FA cup final is the next day.

Looking forward to this. Great to have the swansong at the Amex

Why is the REMF stopping?

 

[Brovion]

Brilliant! Really looking forward to getting changed in the Amex changing rooms and running out onto the pitch!

(Because all us players from the first match will be playing in the last one ...... won't we? )

Thanks.

It's not quite what I was after, it just says that everyone agrees it is time to stop, which is fair enough 22 years and 330,000 raised is a phenomenal effort. I was just wondering what the reason behind everyone agreeing to stop was. Is the organisation too much work now - many things will have changed in their lives over 22 years. Is the closure itself an act of closure? As a charity is it struggling to raise suitable amounts of money?

I realise that ultimately it is none of my business and I don't want my post to come across as critical or negative. I'm just genuinely a little saddened to see it go, it's been such a great and uniting thing.

Can you actually run nowadays?

Can you actually run nowadays?

Harsh, but sadly it's a good point! Ok, 'walking slowly' out onto the pitch then. If I leave the dressing room when all the other players do I'll probably be pitchside before the second half kicks off.

On a recent trip to New York, paid my respect to Robert. A very sombre occasion.

RIP Robert

I’ve been involved with it for the last 10 years and playing at the Amex will be a fantastic final game. Win or lose. It’s been an incredible achievement from everyone involved.
