Simon begins interviewing

Rodwell has something to say

Following interviews with Simon Parsell, players and fans mingled, with fans getting the chance to obtain autographs and chat with the players over a drink. Other highlights from the night included Michael McElhatton's Elvis impersonation and a raffle to win a signed shirt from that season.

The signed shirt is special in the Diamonds' history as it was taken to Chester as the 'blood shirt' (a spare shirt in case of a player bleeding on their match shirt), after the game, when it wasn't needed Simon Parsell got it signed by the entire team. Shaun Cheeseman drew the lucky ticket to win the shirt.

"It was a fantastic evening, a real pleasure to mix back with the Conference winning team, also it was nice to see fans that remember that time and to mull over the events of that year. Thank you to everybody for supporting the evening, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
