    Default Craig Forrest Honorary RPB?

    I think we should band together and give Craig Forrest an honorary RPB membership for all he's done for Canadian Soccer(ie Gold Cup 2000, Premership player) as a whole. I know he hasn't played for the team but he's obviously a fan and does great commentary for us. He inspired many young Canadian players and fans in general.

    I say we make him an honourary RPB, and then publicly demand $20 from him.

    ...and maybe force him to show up at some banner-making sessions, haha.

    If he gets one, Nigel Reed should get one too.

    Fuck craig forrest. I'll always hate him for a comment he made after George Best died. something like "It's a shame he came from northern ireland and not England" I know what he was saying but still I just couldnt take that so soon after his death.

    I know people are just joking around, but I'm pretty sure Axeman was serious so I'm gonna give a serious response as well and say no. We all certainly appreciate Greg and Nigel's broadcasting work, but it would give people more ammunition to use against us with the whole argument that "The Red Patch Boys only exist to make money and expand their brand, not support the team".
