let''s keep this one up near the top...

Who''s going to play in this game then, the club won''t let any of our players take part in any games out of season because of injury worries and most footballers are off on holiday at the beginning of June.

IT. GO" (not directed at you CA, just the idea of a farewell game in general)

Thats fine , it wasn''t my idea anyway and thats why I was asking the question cause although its a nice thought its never going to happen.

I reckon we should just go and hijack a game of either Colchester, Sunderland, MLS or wherever he ends up and just fill the atmosphere with Huckerby chants!

I''ve joined the facebook group, but I think this does sound the best idea so far, am concerned as to organisation of anything else.

The local press have picked it up now.

WE CAN DO THIS!  COME ONNN!!!!

What a ridiculous idea. This will never happen.

[quote user="Greenwich Canary"]What a ridiculous idea.

I''m behind this 100%, it''d be a lovely gesture and also a way for the club to make some more money with gate receipts. Even though he''s a free agent now, I wonder if there''s any way his new club would release him to play some part (even a 15-minute cameo) in our pre-season friendly against Spurs, for example? I''m all for moving on, water under the bridge and all that, but there are thousands of fans just like me who never got the chance to say goodbye to a true hero.

You''re spot on Coelho, something like this would actually help us move on. 

The difficulty with the pre-season friendly is that I cannot see any way on earth that Roeder or the club would allow it.

But where there''s a will there''s a way.

I would imagine that Roeder would be too pragmatic to allow that to happen. While I''m behind him 100%, there are a lot of fans whose faith in him has dissipated severely over this affair, and while time heals, it would be a great way to heal the wounds and move on. I don''t hold out much hope of it happening, but the very best of luck to the organisers.

I understand the reasons, and admire the way you''ve gone about it. But I just don''t think this is feasible in today''s football world. Possibly when Huckerby has retired something like this MIGHT happen. Some people are acting like he''s dead!

if Hucks signs for a new club quickly then its never going to happen.. they simply wont release him to play in a mickey mouse game to say goodbye to former fans incase he gets injured...
