Isn't there supposed to be a former players association?

The club is incredibly poor at the soft power side of things as well as the football decision making policy flip flopping.
 
Who organised this event, as in the player invites etc, was it the town hall or anyone actually connected to the club?

It looks to me looks like it's been organised as a cash grab, but not very well thought out, and not by someone who actually knew a great deal about the club at the time, and the players. Doing it mid season also seems a bit of a schoolboy error when the vast majority of the squad and management will still heavily be involved in football.

If it was someone organising, who is linked heavily with boro and who had good knowledge at the time, then it seems they're a bit out of their depth for something which is quite important.
 
Maybe it's because he spoke out about the club and his time here. I would like to think not but who knows with the way the club is at the minute. It's one PR disaster after another.

Sounds exactly like the current club set up.

Thing is what are the club going to get out if it 1000 tickets X £10? Doesn't really seem worth it for that reason, as if it's crap for the cost then this could backfire a lot more than it benefits.

Seem to remember him scoring twice for Boro against Sunderland. A Boro great for this alone.

Are you thinking of Riggott scoring twice? Christie got one.

Wasn't long after they'd both signed from derby, just unusual that it was the defender who got the brace!

Christie would've been a very good player for us if not the injuries.

It was £40+ per ticket or something like that.

Then they were selling a pre-event meal for £150 a head.

It's just one of the many amateur hour things that the club seems to do right now.
I'm still baffled by them pushing for fans to bring scarves to the next match via official club communications when they didn't even sell Boro scarves at the club shop, unless you wanted a Pride one or a tartan scarf with a tiny Boro badge on it.
They only got the scarves in stock after complaints about there not being any.
