Went up there yesterday for it, VIP Style. My Old Man does Charicature Drawings as a part time job, and was asked to be added to the Entertainment list at the Bridge yesterday.
Anyway, the Training session started at 11, and went on until 1pm. My Dad was in the concourse part and was only meant to be drawing until 11, but went all the way on through to 2:30. They cleared the Stadium out around 2, but there were still 10 people or so that were waiting to be drawn, so they had to keep them in there. Fourtunately, when the Players left the Stadium, they were taken individually through the West Stand concourse where we were, as they expected no fans to be there. Was great, got to meet most of the team, and get my Shirt Signed.
The bloke that took care of us was great too, he asked if we wanted any merchandise or anything for free, took me straight past all the queues to the megastore. Was good hospitality. I think my Dad's doing the United Fan Day soon so I'll go up there for that too.
Training Session was alright, pretty standard Session. Did a bit of keep ball, Attack V Defence and a quick 11 a side. The whole Squad was there minus Drogba, Essien, and Kalou. Most of the players came around after for a good half hour and signed a few bits and bobs. Good day for Free to say the least.
