    So they've got time to * about in the USA and Australia, but they've not got time to honour one of the greats of the game?

    I'm also hearing this isn't happening due to CL qualifiers... surely it could be rearranged for a different date? Given that we postponed a league game this season to play a friendly (not for the first time) could we not do the same here if necessary? Would love this to happen, not a fan of Liverpool or Gerrard but he is a great player and the atmosphere would be superb, always good playing an English team.

    One of the best midfielders to ever play in Britain along with lampard. Don't like Liverpool but its for charity and surely we can find away around the qualifier issue.

    What would you like us to do ?

    Get UEFA to change the dates or maybe just give us an automatic pass into the next round because we want to play in a Charity game ?

    Not going to happen.

    I am sure Liverpool and Gerrard can find another team to fulfil this fixture.

    Why would the arrange his testimonial at the time of qualifications when Liverpool could quite possibly have Europa League qualifiers to play in?!

    Would absolutely love this to happen.

    Gerrard is/was a class act on the park.

    I think the testimonial is muted to be at the beginning of August, any Europa League qualifier will be at the end of the month for Liverpool.

    Would have loved to have gone down to this too. :54:

    If we really have to postpone a league game again next season I’d sooner it be for the same reason as this season i.e. to go away and earn a considerable amount of money, than to go down South for a testimonial.

    Not a particular fan of Gerrard but this would have been a cracking day out.

    Ah well, not too worry.

    Can't believe some people are annoyed at the club for not taking it.

    Tell the * to get another date or get another team.

    Neither club is gonna be losing any sleep over it.
