loyalroyal4life Murty's brief premiership career is almost over and he's got hopefully another 50 years to live. Also, who can say what today's wages will really be worth in 20 years time? I don't begrudge him making all he can right now.

Huntley & PalmerWoodcote RoyalHampshire Royal I agree that Murty has earned a fair wage while he was/is playing for us, but in this day of mega-rich Prem footballers, he could have increased his wealth by moving on every couple of years. How much is Akinbiyi worth, for example.
He didn't and stayed with us. He is one of the reasons that we are where we are now. I will go to the testimonial regardless of who it's against and my entrance money will help charity as well as recompensing Murty for not lining his pockets with sign-on fees etc.
Agree with every word and I, too, am delighted Murts is getting this well deserved reward.
Isn't it odd how some fans trip over themselves in their haste to defend players like Sidwell, who displayed real greed in the manner that he left this club, yet begrudge another, who has given us 10 loyal years of service, one testimonial match on the grounds that he's a millionaire
I don't give a fcuk how much money our club captain has stashed away, I WANT to say a big thank you to him for all that he's done for us by making my small contribution to his retirement fund ................I'll be buying a ticket whether I'm on holiday or not.
Nice one, Mr Chairman.
What a mug

Vision He certainly played as a right back for Burns because i remember at a fans forum he was criticised for buying a right winger and playing him at full back . Burn's reply was "who says i bought him to play as a right winger"

Hmmm. I'm sure I remember Burns describing his spine of his best team being Polston - Murty - Fleck, and bemoaning the fact that he could never play it because one or other of them was always injured.

Forbury Lion A player makes alot of cash from joining a new club as they get a signing on fee. As Murty has been with us from Division 2 (when we looked like we were heading to Division 3!) his wages over the years must have been pretty low by todays Premiership standards, therefore he may be more deserving of a testimonial than someone who has been on Premiership wages most of their playing life.

Give it to Hetzke Please be assured that the charity contribution that Murts is giving is considerable.
I am aware of one of the charities he is supporting and the donation he is making toward the fund raising for this charity is more than generous.
Please support this great ambassador to the club and also a very genuine human being.

About as decent a contribution as a poster who thinks that 'loylaty' to a club still exists in modern day football.

weybridgewanderer ... "the bill for policing the encounter at the Madejski Stadium was £91,000 - three times more than Glasgow police charge for Old Firm games with Rangers.
"We feel that with a friendly match of this nature there should be no need for a police presence."

Huntley & Palmer Please Woodcote, tell me the subtle differences, I would love to hear them.
