Bass Vase

[trentbridge]

When is the Vase this year? Or have I already missed it?

There was talk that the Brewers-Derby game on Saturday would double-up for the Vase, but nothing appears to have materialised.

Thanks

2012 Competition

Because of the recent 2012 UEFA European Football Championship and the forthcoming London 2012 Summer Olympics it has not been possible to organise a pre-season competition this year.
Following discussions with local Football League teams it is proposed that a Bass Charity Vase game will be played sometime in the season, pre Christmas, involving the best available teams.
A date will be mutually agreed upon after the league and all cup fixtures have been decided.

A Bass Vase match in the middle of the season?
Just before Christmas when its cold?

Sounds a pain if a full first team has to play, especially if there are a few injuries then.
And I can't seriously see the crowd being all that great. It's dropped over the years when it's actually been in pre season...

I know its for charity and all that but it as become a bit of a farce in recent seasons!
Perhaps it should be renamed the Coors flowerpot
