[Angela]

1.30

it'll be open before then as there is a televised FA Cup match starting at 12.30pm

[Lancaster Branch]

It's not open for the early game Angela, not fully open anyway.

I think it will be 1.30. There's filming and stuff beforehand with Football Focus.

I think Emma is about to make things a bit clearer, I would watch the Facebook for that.

When i whacked the deposit down for corps i was told we wouldnt be able to go in the cross bar because of football focus

[cromwells ghost]

Will young kids be able to have their photo taken with the F.A. cup ?

Can anyone offer me odds of Phil Collier appearing on football focus telling us about his 2 years at the club?

[Steeley]

From what I recall when other clubs have had football focus in they've had fans in and around the ground? Are we not doing that? Surely it will look better on TV and for the club if there's fans in the bar, ground etc.

Yeah they wont just film in the cross bar. Theyll be in the ground/ changing rooms / pitch and that.

Is the cross bar only open to those in the click whilst filming is on?

Breaking news---murder committed on live television. Pensioner detained and held for questioning.

Here goes........please try to have a bit of understanding as to how I've done this and why I did it this way, it was virtually going to be an impossible task from the outset to keep everyone happy.

I was asked to select 75 people to attend the Football Focus filming in the X Bar to be an "audience" for the BBC. This is how I selected the 75 (78 now) I did this in the most fair way possible and to pull in as many various groups as possible.

I invited -

A % of X Bar regulars.
A % of STH's
A % of Trust members.
A % of the NSC.
A % of the GMV.
A % of out of town supporters.
A % of the lads and lasses who travel all over the country following the team.
Two programme sellers.
Two turnstile operators.
Our Argentinian supporter (who is over here at the moment)
Our two Danish supporters (who will be here for the game)

At my request, the STH's were drawn randomly by the club, Trust members were drawn at random, the NSC were asked who would be interested and then their % was drawn at random, TT were picked amongst themselves.

I can only apologise to anyone who feels like they should have been asked and missed out, but with only two people telling me they couldn't attend, two not replying to PM's and one not replying to a voice mail message you can see how popular this was.

Not an easy task but seems to be the fairest way to do it.
Can't please everyone but a good mix of support.
