[Quay Red]

Have two spare tickets due to my mates coming down sick.
Will leave them on the door if anyone fancies walking up.

Personally who gives a sh** about the Declan swans the night was about Gareth Davies I was moved by the tributes by x players who looked up to Gareth as a man and a leader on and off the pitch some moving words by players who obviously loved the man for all his attributes in giving his all for Wrexham Football Club and a nicer man you will ever meet he said a couple of words Wrexham fans are brilliant and how surprised in the turnout he got.I'm not sure of the money raised on the night but £2000 was mentioned.God bless you Gareth a true Captain.

Thanks to those who organised last night, a fantastic turnout for a true Wrexham legend.

If I were to review it like a match I'd say the following:

POSITIVES
- played in the right spirit
- great support for the great man (ex players and others)
- Luke did good (not suitable for Declan Swansea so good substitution)
- Fantastic that it was held (most important point)

DEVELOPMENT POINTS
- Did anyone have a clue what was going on?
- Sorry Nick, too much of you
- Turn off the sound of the TV when talking
- Announced the quiz winners before anyone knew it was on, still never heard the answers
- Lacked a game plan

That said, great to see so many there, I only say what I say as some people told me they'd think twice about attending again because of the development points. And before anyone jumps down my throat, I will feed this back through FPA channels, just wondered what other attendees thought?

Mostly enjoyed the evening but you raise some good points. Great that Dav could see that folk still think of him, and the great times we had back in the long distant 70s - that was the first time I’d seen the brilliant Anderlecht game since the actual night. Hopefully, Dave, Ray and the rest of the FPA guys raised a decent sum to help Dav and his family cope with his dementia.

Finally, thanks to Luke for stepping in and doing a very good job. Yes, it could have been better, but ever so glad I went.
