@OUSP Secretary, I've had an idea for something a bit more permanent to remember Joey, would you be able to speak to the club and find out if it would be possible to have a fans' 5-a-side competition to be held at the training ground? The charity game held in Mickey Lewis' memory was a fantastic occasion, but there wasn't much we as supporters could get involved in. Joey was one of our own, and I think this may be a good way to remember him and raise some money in his memory.
My thoughts were that if the club were happy to host, it could be a yearly thing. Two competitions, one for any entrants, and a second for 'seniors' (45+ or 50+) so I could have a run around and not get humiliated by a load of 'kids'
Rosie and Alan Judge ran a really good tournament at The Manor to mark it's closing, something similar would be perfect. Would something like this firstly be workable from the club point of view? I think a lot of teams would be interested in this kind of occasion.
