An evening with MLT.....

[saint lard]

An evening with Matt Le Tissier,plus special guest,is going to be held at The Botleigh Grange Hotel,Hedge End,on Friday 30th October,7.30pm

 

MLT is an ambassador for the Hampshire Autistic Society,of which i am an instructor at the Day Services.

Check out our site and go to News and events for further details on this and other special events that involve SFC and other celebs......http://www.has.org.uk/

 

Matt, and SFC as a whole,this includes players and staff past and present do a tremendous amount of work to raise money for the Society,which is a charitable organisation,and they have done for sometime.

 

Anyone interested in tickets,£40 to include 3 course dinner,should contact Paul Anscombe in the fundraising dept,01489 880881 ext 208.

 

Or,email: paul.anscombe@has.org.uk

 

I will post the official email from head office in due course.

I can assure you the money received from such events goes along way to improving the lives of people,this includes children and post 16yr olds within the Autistic Spectrum, and who have Aspergers Syndrome,both at the school,residential units and at Day Services.

 

MOD's,if possible could you make this a sticky.

Many thanks in advance.

Dave.

Good luck for a succesful evening and a very worthy cause.

 

 

Let's hope this thread is not ruined by the predictable poster.

[saint lard]

Afankoo Ponty for making it a sticky.

[Redondo Saint]

How did it go?

[saint lard]

Lawrie Mac was the special guest,will post a review when i get a chance.

[The Sholing Shadow]

Saint Lard - thanks for posting. I dont know how I missed this last month - I live quite far away now, but that evening would have been fantastic. The added fact being my son is autistic - but his twin, like myself, is saints mad. Matt is an ambassador for the Hampshire Autistic Society? How brilliant is that? It was only yesterday that I was thinking; well, Micky Channon, Painer or Le Tiss, anyone of them would be appropriate for No 1 Saint (in the Times all time 50 top saints). Today what you're telling me really strikes a person chord - well done to you & Matt & everyone involved. While posting on this subject, just a shout out for Jon Sleightholme (the former Northampton saints & England rugby winger), who does a huge amount for fund raising for Autism in Northamptonshire.

Zero points for originality, don't bother with the review I doubt his story has changed. Is LM more special than MLT? I hope you raised lots of money and everyone gave their time freely but why does the society have to have the football theme. No doubt there are those impacted by autism who do not have an interest in football and surely MLT could have lined up other local celebrities to attend to ensure everyone could relate to at least one of the celebrities.

Unfair and unneccessary.

 

Come on NC. Time to move on.

You don't have to read the revue, but I'm sure that the remaining 99% of Saints supporters on here will look forward to it.

Oh ffs give it a rest you weirdo. You're now having a pop because a charity event had a football theme? Jesus H...

This thread is about a charity event.

What a foul, obsessed, little man you are...

You really are a ****.

It's worth the infraction.

 

You just don't get it,Lawrie and Matt as well as many others such as Sean Udal do a heck of a lot of work fundraising for us.

Golf days,quiz nights and opening new residential homes for the kids/adults,and they don't bloody charge to do it.

Check out our website in the OP to see what these people do to raise the profile of our Society and people within the Autistic spectrum.http://www.has.org.uk/events.htm

I strongly suspect some of the service users have a far better grip on social etiquette than yourself.

You should be ashamed. Ban this disgusting tosser.

Trying to score points from this subject is pathetic.

Mod's do something now.

When i get back to work i will find out the amount raised and i will report back.

NC, you can just **** off if you have no interest.

You really need to move on, it's not only tiresome but also insensitive and inappropriate. Everyone knows your views and you're welcome to them - this isn't the right thread to repeat them though.

There must be a bed with your name on it in a certain ward at the RSH.

[Nineteen Canteen]

Not surprised by the response but I don't consider myself foul and disgusting for suggesting that a charity should be represented by celebrities from other areas other than football or sport. A neighbour of ours have a 8 year old son severely handicapped by autism and they are not sports fans by any stretch of the imagination. I was not belittling the efforts of MLT but considering his background merely questioned the booking of McMenemy as celebrity guest.

 

It may surprise people on here that not everyone will be filled with joy by the prospect of an evening with solely sports stars invited. With young children who find it difficult to communicate perhaps more accessible and familiar celebrities would make for a better connection . People like, Chris Packham, Fred Dineage and Sally Taylor to name just a few of the obvious local celebs who like McMenemy if approached would give their time just as freely and willingly.

 

Apologies if you missed my point.

Well as per usual it is you who have missed the point. If it is an evening with Matt le Tissier it is pretty obvious that football/sport will be a large, if not sole, ingredient of any after dinner speaking.

 

As per your "considering his background" comment regarding Lawrie what exactly are you suggesting ? Have you not understood or accept that McMenemy has done a lot of work for charities over the years, a lot of it without payment, like so many people in the public eye do.

 

I think your obsession with McMenemy and your thinly veiled attacks on his character and motives could well land you in serious hot water if any of this was ever bought to his attention. You almost came a cropper with your insults towards Mike Osman and your suggestions that his motives for trying to save SFC at a critical time were not all they seemed.

 

If you have any sense, as we are clearly passed asking if you have any decency, then you will put your shovel down and move away from the hole pretty bloody smartish.

BS I think it is you who are on dangerous ground because I did not say anything that would get me into trouble with regard either person and to question the merits of Osman as an entertainer is no different than say discussing the merits of Paul Wotton.

 

Perhaps you may be in hot water for suggesting that: 'McMenemy has done a lot of charity work over the years, a lot of it without payment'. Personally, I would always assume charity work is always voluntary and given freely so not sure what your motive is for suggesting otherwise.

 

I go back to my original point, IMO charities are better served by widening the attraction to their potential audience.

A charity should do what the **** it wants really, although I'm sure they appreciate your invaluable tips on striking a chord with autistic children.

 

If people don't want to come to its events, they won't. Clearly they thought this event would raise funds. Hopefully it did. The aim is not to put on the greatest show on Earth; it is to raise funds.

 

It's a bit of a shame you had to try to find an angle to get your tuppence worth in on this one.

All I am suggesting is that by widening the band of celebrities i.e not just sport or football you cast a bigger net and hopefully to catch more people wanting to attend and contribute. I too hope they have collected money by the truckload as we have friends locally living with autism and we know how impossible life can be for them.

 

The point is for some if it's just football or whatever they won't come and considering MLT was already there in this instance perhaps a local TV Celeb as I suggested earlier may have helped boost numbers even more. It was just an idea/thought/opinion.

OK. I doubt if the event featured Sally Taylor and Fred Dineage you would be clamouring for Lawrie Mac or MLT to have got an invite though!

Apologies for rising to his bait....but sometimes his thinly veiled attacks on Saints legends (I know he hates that word) just get my blood boiling.

NC, you're bang out of order on this.

But your opening line was......

You can keep trying to dig yourself out of this, but if you can be bothered to click on the HAS link, you can see that this was just one event out of many, so your point about the football related evening does not stand.

 

Even if this was the only event run, then the only question should be, did it raise enough money?

 

I think you should apologise.

NC why don't you just keep away from these sorts of threads?

Genuine question ..... your input just comes across as plain nasty.

 

By all means stick the boot into L Mac etc but not on these sort of threads where fans are doing their best to raise funds for bloody good causes.

 

You have valid points but your timing and choice of targets are woeful.

Apologies if you missed my point.

 

The problem with you 19/Sundance/Flashman, is that you obvious think people on here are stupid. How many more times do we get you sniping and bit-ching at the likes of Crouch/McMenemy/LeTissier/Osman only to plead complete and utter innocence, "How could you think I meant that?"

 

To somehow get a snipe in at LeTissier and McMenemy on a charity thread is just pathetic and to sneak it in under the auspices of "Well not everyone's interested in sport" is just the most ridiculous, childish, pathetic reason imaginable. As anyone who'd bothered to look at the website would tell you HAS has had other events other like a question of sport and golf day. Should we discuss whether it was appropriate to have a golfer at the golf day? A sportsman at the question of sport day?

 

Utter, utter bol locks...

 

It's boring, it's pathetic and it's incredibly stupid. To take a thread about charity, something nice and uplifting, and turn it into yet another vile and unpleasant snipefest is just so selfish and ignorant.

 

The sad thing here is that people on here will defend your right to say what your want and how banning you would stifle free speech but when your every utterance is aimed at winding people up and push your "I'll have a go at anyone who is viewed as remotely anti Lowe" agenda, just what is the point of you posting?

 

By all means debate the rights and wrongs of the likes of Crouch, McMenemy and Le Tissier but to take every opportunity to snipe and be generally unpleasant just show you for what you really are. A rather nasty attention seeking oddball.

The more you all comment the more it hides the original statement guys.

 

If you don't see that then you've lost the argument.

 

In the world of internet personas, he's probably rubbing his hands with glee that he stirred you all up again.

 

If he was a human (which he has shown from time to time such as with his donation to Hypo) then he will pop back and accept he used the wrong time and place and apologise.

 

Everyone can have an opinion, even if it's wrong. Some people have convictions and stick with them some get convicted. While we may wish that to happen, this thread should just be closed and made a sticky to remind us that some things in life are worth more than scoring debating points.

 

Just accept it, this was his biggest mistake. Move on

Another thread ruined by Nineteen Canteen.

[m735]

I we nt to the evening with night of Friday night, and although we were not told on the night how much money was raised, it did raise a fair stack.

 

I am not going to get into the arguement that has been going on, but I only went because it was MLT, with a freebee of LM thrown in, in my eyes. It was MLT that made me buy the ticket, and any other celeb wouldn't have made me do so! Tony Husband of BBC fame was the host, and I must say, is very good also!

 

I'm not going to "tell" all on here of the things the both MLT & LM spoke about, as it may stop people going to future events, after all its for a good cause.

 

But, I would go to another such event, with the same guest speaker, or with diffrent ones, and I would urge other people to do the same, yes it is rather expensive, £40 per ticket (includes 3 course meal) raffle tickets, and auction, but I'd rather do this once a month than spend the same amount on a evening / night in town getting bladdered!

[SaintRobbie]

£40 is really cheap. Saints fans will love it. 19 C doesnt have to go.

Thankyou so very much for attending the evening and making a generous contribution by purchasing a ticket.

Plenty more events on the horizon,all quite varied.But invariably have an SFC connection,they are most supportive.

Once again thanks and i hope you got some enjoyment out of the occasion.

As stated i will hopefully discover the final amount raised.

I can assure you the Service Users/Students will benefit greatly,be it equipment for the school,Day service or on the residential units.

The event was advertised as a charity event costing £40 a ticket. For that you had a meal plus a guest speaker, Matt Le Tissier. McMenemy was not named as an attendee. He was a suprise additional guest.

 

No matter what we may think of McMenemy and his recent Saints involvement or his refusal to pay for a ticket to SMS you cannot fault the time he puts in for Charitable events.

 

I think some of the responses on this thread are over the top and out of order. I hope my explanation helps as I feel from your posts you misunderstood the event.

Correct.

[Nineteen Canteen]

Perhaps you would care to clarify and explain your "considering his background" comment ?

 

Certainly - they both (MLT and LM) come from football so I thought it would be better to attract a guest speaker from another walk of life. Now perhaps you can clarify what you were suggesting by your comment 'a lot of it without payment'.

[Nineteen Canteen]

I strongly suspect he knew exactly what he was doing,hence the responses.

 

I was merely suggesting that as MLT was in attendance to have another celebrity with a football background may have excluded other people who attended the event without an interest in football. If I attended for instance I would have enjoyed the MLT speech but my wife somewhat less so and perhaps a local celebrity from the TV with some different ancedotes would have been preferable.

 

I apologise if I caused offence but it's just an opinion and the next time I see our friends/neighbours I shall be asking them if they are aware of the charity (i'm sure they are) and do what I can in my own small way to help.

 

I sincerely hope the evening made a lot of money and that perhaps future evenings are a little less exclusive when it comes to guest speakers because I would have difficultly persuading my other half to spend a couple of hundred quid on a night out to listen to solely football celebrities. I take Weston's point that McMenemy was an unadvertised bonus but had I attended my wife wouldn't have been the only one groaning and I suspect others may have felt same IMO. I don't dispute LM does a lot of good work for good causes but to book him when you already have a major sporting celebrity in attendance I thought was short sighted. I apologise if that is not fair comment but it is my opinion. I will say no more on the matter as clearly I got it wrong in many people's opinions to discuss it on this thread even though the event had passed and I was merely trying to offer food for thought for future events.

[saintbletch]

Charities sensibly align themselves with things that we feel passionate about.

 

It makes complete sense to me to try to use SFC past and present as one of many fund raising topics.

 

Me, I'm off to post on the Sally Taylor forum. Apparently, and you won't believe this, but Chris Packham is popping round to Sally's for tea and he's bringing Fred Dinage! You couldn't make it up. Gotta run, www.sallytaylorisreallyinteresting.com is in meltdown with excitement.

 

Well done to all involved in raising money.

[warsash saint]

Zero points for originality, don't bother with the review I doubt his story has changed. Is LM more special than MLT? I hope you raised lots of money and everyone gave their time freely but why does the society have to have the football theme. No doubt there are those impacted by autism who do not have an interest in football and surely MLT could have lined up other local celebrities to attend to ensure everyone could relate to at least one of the celebrities.

I know what you mean, I go along to this massive arena every other saturday and all they have is bloody football, football, football. Why cant they have some Ice dancing now and again to make it more interesting to somebody else?

Yes, apparently Nineteen called Pearson a rogue manager on another thread and is yet to attempt to substantiate that allegation, despite being requested politely to do so. Unfortunately that thread is closed, so I'm sure that he will be delighted to regale us with an explanation on this thread instead.

Not quite the same context maximising the raising of funds through wider audience appeal and a football match. Mind you if you have ever attended American sporting events you may be on to something.

 

Wes, lighten up there must be 100 irrevent and satirical posts on here that are meant with a large dose of irony. I thought I was being funny by putting up Leicester as having the type of manager to take on Marlon King and you never know if something happens to Fryatt and Mandric has got £35k pw burning a hole in his pocket. Lets face it he signed Pericard on loan for us and that was criminal IMO.

 

I look forward to you challenging every 'off the cuff' comment made by everyone else. What did we do before smileys, eh? Lighten up Wes we're on the same side more and more and you'll soon be in consideration for my Saints forum 'Come Dine With Me' experience. Though you'll need to knock out Daren Wheeler somehow.

[Jonnyboy]

I could be wrong but I was told that LM is actually the Chairman of the Hampshire Autistic Society.

 

Therefore his presence is entirely reasonable, and 19Cs hijacking of this thread totally unreasonable.

You could well be right that with the prowess that Pearson has, his ability to command respect from his players and his undoubtedly good man-management skills, if anybody could polish the turd that is Marlon King, it would be him. The difference is that I can argue that point and it is a topic that could be debated, whereas you meant it either as a joke or ironically and with everybody knowing on here in what high esteem you hold Pearson, most would just consider that you were on a wind-up.

 

So in the absence of any smiley, are we to take you seriously, or assume that you were attempting irony? Before smilies, posters typed LOL or some other explanation. I'm sure that either will suffice for those who do not easily know whether you are trying to be serious, or attempting to be funny.

 

I agree that otherwise we are not far apart on most things, but if I received a dinner invitation, it would have to be strictly on the basis that MLT, Crouch, McMenemy and Lowe were taboo subjects. If that left you enough other conversational matters to discuss, then it could make for an interesting evening.:smt029

Wes, those 4 are mere bagatelle in the general scheme of things and it has left me seriously considering your bid for an invitation. The hard part is keeping it down to 4 perhaps I should just spend a week grilling at the table as well and invite those 4 with the most to answer and share my findings at the end of what would be a gruelling but no doubt very interesting week.

Was I applying for an invite? I said that if I were invited. But it doesn't sound so appetising now, as you will apparently be grilling the food at the table, gruel is on the menu it will be hard to keep it down .

Can I come for dinner as well please???

 

We could make it a party round 19C's house!!

I could be wrong but I was told that LM is actually the Chairman of the Hampshire Autistic Society.

 

Therefore his presence is entirely reasonable, and 19Cs hijacking of this thread totally unreasonable.

 

No you are mistaken,we have a CEO and that is not him.

 

LM has been the leading fundraising ambassador,now also MLT and is assissted by Claus Lundekvam,Jason Dodd and Shaun Udal.Plus others.

I would like to come to, so long as there are no sour grapes on the cheeseboard.
