If anything good can be taken from yesterday at EP , in my view it is the superb performance by Vernon Bear . There were over 300 free tickets distributed to sports groups which filled the Pop Side with families and children who otherwise would not have experience a County match. If Simon Dawson, the Club and the Supporters Cooperative deserve praise for creating this opportunity - a progressive step towards growing our fan base, so does Vernon Bear. Vernon`s performance reminded me of his top gig in China 2004- the kids , despite the game, were clearly excited and Vernon`s virtuoso performance did not disappoint them. Well done Vernon !
