When David Beckham left Manchester United - his fans still kept attending Old Trafford. New stars emerged. Did not mean the the greats were forgotten.
So with the Shadows - who have more than fulfilled a life time of music for us - we should keep going now - with new stars emerging - and we should embrace these and remember why we are where we are.
There are many excellent players - the Northern Celebrations seem to attract some of these.
I understand Roger Alcock is braving a Train journey up north.
I also think the Friday night should continue. Maybe this is where individual top players(Some from this site) could show everything is possible. This night is like a club night with club spirit and encouragement.
Maybe if the music is good enough - then maybe celebrities will come out of interest. We could then charge them for the ticket ---- (Joke _)
No lets keep it going - if we get celebrities - its a bonus.
Looking forward to this years.
