Trust members recently joined the Maesteg Bluebirds for a question and answer session with Bluebirds legend Jason Perry and the BBC Wales soccer commentator Rob Phillips.
Jason told some cracking stories about the way football used to be – he obviously thinks the players and officials have gone a bit soft these days.
It was a great evening and Graham Keenor, Fred Keenor’s nephew, also came along to tell everyone about the statue appeal. There was considerable interest in the photographs of Fred which Graham brought along to show everyone.
Trust chairman Tim Hartley said: “Congratulations to the Maesteg Bluebirds on celebrating 50 years of organising travel to watch the City and also to the Crown in Maesteg for hosting us. We’ll see you again in 2011.
“I’d also like to thank Jason and Rob for giving up their time. It was appreciated by the 40 or 50 fans that turned up.”
And the evening also raised £300 for the Fred Keenor Statue Appeal. Thanks to everyone that helped.
Pictured with Jason Perry and Rob Phillips are Steve Smith and Mel Hughes from the Maesteg Bluebirds.
