It is with sadness that we report that the Boxing Evening scheduled for Friday in aid of Wayne Curtis's testimonial has had to be cancelled.

Bit of a body blow for anyone who as bought tickets lol

i reckon there would have been trouble, full of Gypsy's following Tyson Furry, full up on testosterone

Thats a real shame.

Pretty crap testimonial season for him. The best we can do as fans is a Panel evening and a Race Night. Both were great and raised a bit for him, but ten years service and thats the best we can do?

I hope Quinny can get the match on for him and I hope we all turn up and support Wayne.

Maybe we can organise something for him during the Summer? A band and BBQ?

Who would pay a fiver for that?

In what walk of life other than sport do people get year-long testimonials for long-service with extra pocket money? Most people are lucky to get a medal, let alone several events organised for them and a bit of extra cash! It's unfortunate that this event has been cancelled but don't get carried away Mark! People will support it the best they can. Expressing mild irritation at people when quite a few are concerned about their own financial futures is a bit rich.

Year long? He didnt get a week long. A footballers career is a very short one. In this day and age of money chasing journeymen, Wayne stands head and shoulders above most.

10 years is a long time for one club and considering the part he played in getting us up I will support anything that will give him the recognition and reward that he deserves.

I'm not knocking your support but I'm sure part of his testimonial will include a football match and I have no doubt that it isn't over just yet. However, you can't judge other people by your own convictions. A lot of people have more important concerns at the moment and testimonial events for a footballer won't be high on a list of priorities. I'm sure more would attend a testimonial match than will these other extra events. Like I say, the cancellation of this event is unfortunate but there will be other opportunities to thank Wayne Curtis for his 10 years.

I personally think the event was a bit too soon after the other two events and the last match plus presentation evening for some peoples budgets, I do however think there will be other events in the course of the year.

I got a pen and pencil set with a voucher for £20 from my firm after 10 years.

Can't wait to see what I, may, get in three years - that'll be 20 years!

I would.

I missed both the panel night and the race night, for which i am gutted. (I was seeing my nephew)

Wayne deserves a celebration. 10 years at any club now deserves a celebration.

But for the next event, whovever organises it. Instead of SV's, Facebook. Large salmon and a slap around the chops to get there arses into gear

Mounsey, you set 'em up, mate...........

If you have more pressing issues, then what the hell are you doing on here whingeing about something being done for one of our best players, when most of us WANT to do something for him? get on with your problems and let us try and make a success out of Waynaldos testimonial!

If only the ****ers who deliver them could tell us a more accurate time than 'sometime between 8am and midnight' then we might be!
