Title: Fireworks at the Jakemans Stadium
Post by: Wembley 85 on November 05, 2009, 02:53:19 PM
Anybody going?

I bought 4 tickets t'other day, and spoke with David Newton in the car park.  He asked me if I could buy 100!!!!  Does that mean not many are going??????

There was a fair old crowd last year and I would be surprised if there were less this year as it really was a good night.

FAO Chalker  When is the full itinerary going to be published? O/S says Thursday - yet with a little over 3 hours until the gates open still no news.  What have you got lined up for us????

Could the managers get the players in the centre circle, get them to bend over and fire rockets at them?

Brilliant stuff, shows how far we've come in a couple of years.

Could you imagine the community supporting such an event if Robwell and McFraud were here?

Its nice to have people here who want the best for the club and the support, not their own get rich quick scheme.......

Embedded the thought in my mind that the football club is now more than a football club, its part of the community. Fantastic effort by the club to put it on and I hope it was a success financially as it certainly was a success as far as the fireworks/attendance was concerned.

Could you ever, even in your wildest imagination, expect that Robwell and McFraud would have been there cooking burgers and hot dogs.

I don't think so somehow.

The sight of Cookie and Chairman Dave slaving over a hot cooker really showed how far we have come in such a short time, with Dave's daughter and Alice on the other one.  An amazing contribution from everyone involved.

Awesome, Awesome. Thats what I thought of last nights event. The fireworks were fantastic. They lasted 15minutes which may not seem very long but what a 15 minutes they were. The ground is an ideal place to have a fireworks night; under cover and big enough to hold a large crowd. And what a management team we have. Mr Newton grilling his fingers while cooking the food, he looked a surgeon about to operate with his delicate rubber gloves on, kinky or just hygenic. Cookie trying his best to look like a competent anaethetist next to the surgeon. Neil, well what can one say, playing with the cuddly toy stand; must get one for my dog, no not a Neil, a cuddly toy. Must have been similar efforts being made by other members of the club around the ground but I didn't get everywhere. Congratulations to everyone for all their hard work. Agree with LCB about a community club, it's the way forward.
A tip for everyone for next year, don't sit too far back cos u can,t see the exploding fireworks high up. A tip for the organisers; an extra BBQ under Fantasy Island. The long queues for the food deterred some from waiting and therefor lost revenue. Next time I will certainly volunteer to help.

I was a bit concerned with the way Dave was waving that electronic thermostat prodding type implement though!


It was an excellent night all provided by and staffed by BUFC.  Well done all.

Well done to all the organisers last night, very enjoyable.
What i liked most was the great family atmosphere inside the stadium and the event on the whole, which can only highten the profile of the the club.

Roll on next year!!

I would like to echo all of the above. Fantastic night - well done to all.

I visited the Pilgrim Lounge for the first time after the display, and it won't be my last visit either. Very impressed.

Roll on Saturday!!!!

An excellent night.  Just as I expected after last year.

This fireworks display will go from strength to strength.  650 last year, 1000+ this year.  I'm sure it will continue to grow in popularity every year.
