Seems I've got a day pass from himself, and all things being well, I'll be at the match on Saturday. I'll be driving, and may well have one or more sprogs in tow. Driving, of course, means no alcohol so you won't see me in the state I was a couple of months ago.
Anyway, if you're in attendance, it would be good to say hello.
BTW, what have we done? A few on your forum don't like us very much, do they?

Meadow, most of the comments on the forum are just a couple of us on the troll trying to catch us some Wombles! We love you really.
I'll be at the match.

At this moment in time, I'd say my chances of making the game are about zero. As with most young creatures, the juvenile non-league fans at AFC Wimbledon are very vulnerable to the highly experienced non-league predators elsewhere. If they survive, their skins will eventually harden, forming an exoskeleton capable of repelling such attacks. It's a good job your '1970s guestbook' doesn't offer a suitable environment for the predators to move in! Starting the AFC bandwagon rolling is your biggest crime, supporting the ideas that 'fan run clubs' are always a good thing and that sticking AFC in front of a team's name entitles them to claim top spot in the league table before a ball has been kicked. If Tamworth ever need to reform, we're going to come back as Amateur Association Football Club Tamworth, just to spite the AFCs!

Driving won't be an issue, Meadow - there is no beer upon arrival anyway; though, being an expert on such things, I am sure Coops will correct me if I am wrong, it's been a few years since I went inside the ground. been around, over and adjacent many times however. It is one of the very few grounds I have been to which has no redeeming features whatsoever - or none which spring to mind And I hope it doesn't rain...

I think that the most eloquent protest you could make in that case would be to NOT reform at all - that'd show 'em!

Odd. Oh well... There's real ale in the clubhouse, but the game will probably be segregated, and the town's OK too. The ground has numerous 'features' but if you prefer a sterile concrete box that's your choice. I think your memory could do with a refresher for sure! ;D The Meadow Street End (named in anticipation of Saturday's visitor ) is allocated to away fans and it has some cover, not that such a luxury seems to bother many clubs when it comes to away fans. We don't force people to sit or stand - there is a choice. The price is the same for the home and away fans, and those prices are fixed all season. If only all CONference clubs were as equitable... Given Tamworth are in the CONference, The Lamb Ground's facilities are refreshingly tinpot - what more do you want, a tent city at the Castle End? I though it's be well up to TT's standards. Have I managed to get pre-emptive digs at everyone's ground yet? Ah, Weymouth... No, sorry, The Lamb isn't out on the edge of town and isn't rusting away to nothing. If Tamworth ever need to reform, I'm sure we can rape Hednesford!

If the worst were to happen, I think it is now the law to start again as AFC [old club name here]. That's bad news for Bournemouth!

Shame you're not going to be there Jase. And I'm sure you know by now why we're not too popular elsewhere. I see you've encountered our resident troll - so bad that he's been banned from our 1970's style guestbook.

I'm up to 50/50 for Saturday's game, but I doubt I'll decide until Saturday morning. I'm meant to travel back to Tamworth for next week's beer fest anyway, so if I time the pain killers well I should survive 90 mins on my feet. I'll email you my mobile number just in case.
You'll probably find Coops in the White Lion. I guess they allow kids in the beer garden, as he usually has his nipper with him.

Right, eldest and I should be in town about 1:30 or so, and will head to the White Lion. Coops, my picture's in this year's Stamford thread, and if you don't recognise me, you'll spot Nickster. 5'7", female, very thickset with cropped, peroxide, mohicaned (probably) hair.

That should get the attention of the average per.. punter in the White Lion! Hopefully catch up with you in the Lion then.
