A £25,000 per table of ten fund raiser took place at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Monday night for the West Ham Acadamy. Full page adverts in the event’s programme were priced at £1000. The guests were described by the Club as ‘high profile’ and included club ‘Legends’ and some of the capital’s leading rag & bone men.
John Lyle’s family probably weren’t there as Karren Brady removed the their complimentary Season Tickets last week.
The gala turned into a brawl straight out of Carry On Cowboy. Supposedly this was sparked by Demba Ba claiming he was too tired to sign a fan’s Bull Staffy puppy.
James Corden hosted along with Ben Shepard and Stacey Solomon… well she was there. There was an auction.
Prizes included World Cup tickets (£10k the pair), Be chairman for the day (£4k), a round of golf on Golds private course with him and a day at the spa for your missus(£4k), Ali signed glove(£3k), mascot for the Man Utd game (£5k, I think), a day at the racetrack with Zola (£3k), use of the pitch at Upton Park f or a matc h/tournament (£8k), be included in the official 2010/11 team photo(£3k).
Eye witnesses reported tables being overturned, glasses being smashed. A vase was ‘high kicked’ and one MC asked the raving mob to please sit on chairs, not to throw them.’
The evening concluded with a cabaret consisting of police and security guards chasing gala guests up and down stairs, in and out lifts etc.
West Ham totally classless.I’m enjoying it all now but still fear for the future,they are good street fighters and could come back stronger in a few years time,we need to sort out our stadium to stop them stealing a march on us
salt of the earth them lot.very entetaining side show a constant source of mirth and merriment.
their script writers are doing a good job :lol:
No worries – we hae been here before – they always shout when they go down (happens quite often)…. nothing at the end – the stadium might go away from them as well – I reckon the stadium will stay empty as OC won’t allow any football clubs in there !!!! Ollie and Laurel couldn’t have scripted it better !!!!
What a class act – sack manager within the hour at an away ground- then say they are going to take their time in appointing – enforce all the players to a dinner after being relegated even before the likes of Blackpool and Wigan and then the brawl…. as i said earlier stan and Laurel couldn’t have scripted better (or are Gold n Sullivan Ollie and Laurel incarnated… )
LOL – I’m loving it….
I heard the hotels Pie and Mash weren’t up to scratch :-p
I heard the house band were inundated for requests to play east enders :cwy:
Jellied eels were what started off the brawl.
Other prizes on the raffle were some lucky ever and cloves pegs !
What number is it you’re in anyway? I can’t be a 1 or a 7. Must be something with a 4, 6, 8, 9 or 0 in it. I guess you could probably make some sort of arrangement so you could be in a 3 or 5 as well.
Or am I on the wrong track entirely? Could it be an imaginary number? I guess you might be in the dot in i. Or maybe an irrational or complex number.
Come on, help us out Tonz. Which is is?
simples,he is in THAT number!
69
