churchmans81 added 22:51 - Feb 15 I mean, it's only £90 for the clubs official 1981 UEFA Cup Anniversary Dinner the following week. Obviously no harm in the events company making a profit but they're certainly charging top dollar.

DifferentGravy added 23:22 - Feb 15 Sounds a superb night! Cant understand why a single ticket is £150 and 10 is £1500. Surely a discount would entice for bulk purchase.

Jonaldo added 05:45 - Feb 16 Great movie, with some slightly dodgy acting! Remember watching it on a slightly rough Felixstowe to Zeebrugge crossing. I think it was enjoyed by most that day, but there was the distinct smell of sea sickness and "pavement pizzas" lining the carpet as I exited the theatre. I can't think why Russel Osman did not get the call for the next Bond movie or Jason Bourne series with this audition "I don't want to go. Let's go back … We can win this!"

Cakeman added 06:26 - Feb 16 Very enjoyable movie with many brilliant players in it. My all time favourite Pele topping the bill. I do agree with others about the £150 price. Would certainly rule out many including me. During these days of vastly increasing cost of living prices I'll stick to Haddock and chips from from local chippy!

Bert added 09:22 - Feb 16 This is aimed at the corporates so probably priced accordingly. It is a charitable event. Gee Wiz support children and young adults.

JewellintheTown added 09:48 - Feb 16 For that price I'd expect, Pele, Caine and Stallone! Where are the rest of the cast & crew? I'm assuming Laurie Sivell, Paul Cooper and Robin Turner were invited but couldn't make it?Bet Max Von Sydow would have made it had he been alive. RIP. Mike Summerbee is a spritely 79 yrs young. I suspect Covid or Brexit will have something to do with it.
