for their attendance and Colin Seel commented that, at a time where the
financial influence in football was ruining the sport, Gillford Park had
helped restore his faith in the game he loved. Entertainment was provided
by Pzazz and an enjoyable evening was had by all, in some cases, maybe
too enjoyable -
