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.
Tonight I was woken up by 4 west ham fans outside my house playing football with a hedgehog.
I was absolutely disgusted and just about to call the RSPCA when the hedgehog went one-nil up
:whistle:
Tonight I woke up 4 West Ham directors dossing in the entrance of a public convenience.
Marvelous news: Defoe is unhappy.
Hopefully he can infect Crouch, Jenas, Hutton, Keane and Bentley with that malaise and we might have a coupe of bob to spend.
Just had an idea
Why not replace Defoe with a goalscorer ?
time to move all that lot on, getting close to their sell by dates and not pulling up trees for us.
how I wish we’d just ship in some proper talent for a change, the next drogba or the next tevez
Danny Levy needs to buck his ideas up and start leading from the front proactive not reactive
What? Like the next Makalele/Viera you mean… Like Sandro? Or the next Cruyff-like football genius… Like Modric? Or the next Giggs… Like Bale? Or maybe an entertaining Dutch ex Real Madrid player… But we’ll never sign one of those. Not with Levy there.
;-)
But he trains hard …… (LOL)
Any time he doesn’t get a run cos he’s been playing shire Ge comes on telly and says he is unhappy and wants to leave be gone with you if you can’t fight for your place cos you got no bottle but get a replacement first (G Rossi)
I just watch the Liverpool game again. Ledley King was immense. If he had played with Dawson (who plays miles better with King next to him) we would have finished in the top 2 or 3!
I meant if King had played all season we would have finished nearer the top. Forgive my vodka-addled brain.
