Just a quick update folks.
Daytime Activity
Whilst we are gathering in A Park View Hotel on the Saturday (6th May) I am aware that some of you bloggers may not intend to arrive until Sunday to take in the match.
We will still be there in the morning prior to leaving to meet the 12.00 kick off, so please pop in for a quick pint or coffee or whatever on the Sunday if you wish.
Saturday is purely to get as many of us together as possible and if past gatherings are anything to go by I am sure you will all enjoy a good day, even if you intend to be there for just a short time, or if you intend to “hang one on”.
Come along and get involved.
Evening Meal
At time of going to print, I have received all menu choices bar three which I am expecting at the end of the week, so all is good.
I have spoken to Sat at APV and she is content to locate us in the main dining room, but she did want us to reach a figure of 27 diners. I have 23.
We have space for up to 30 diners. Come on …… you know you want to.
Our guests are confirmed as Steve Daley, Willie Carr and Phil Parkes.
As there has not been a real interest in a theme, and taking into consideration that there will be a number of attending guests, it has been decided that the “dress code” for the evening meal will be smart casual.
It is intended for one or two “activities” to take place during the evening, and if all goes horribly wrong I will refrain from placing the blame on theDOOGooder and Bedford Wolf.
All in all, everything seems to be going as planned. All I ask now is that as many of you as possible come along and enjoy the day.
Brompton Wolf
I will be there, of course, to bring some decorum to the event, and to make sure Chalkie does not fix the prediction league again.
And talking of cheats, a sneak peek at the Bedders upcoming quiz reveals that every answer is Steve Bull.
FOwb
Chalky has been banned mate. Cheating not allowed on this blog.
Thanks Thomas, I appreciate your time. As I said in my email, please consider joining us for dinner. And bring along Ben and your partners too.
Thanks for organising this Brompton. My better half and I are looking forward to it.
I’d better get round to buying a match ticket.
Oh yeah, forgot about that important bit lol. See you both soon.
Just done it. Now uploaded to my smartcard so i am now sorted.
Me too. WV3 immediately behind the press boys. After the Rotherham game Barbara decided to give it a miss.
She still coming Saturday but not taking in the match on Sunday?
Yes, she’ll be there for Saturday evening. She’s visiting relatives whilst the football is on on Sunday. We’re stopping over until Monday morning.
Smart casual? So BOG’s intended garb of his white tuxedo from his recent cruise – has he mentioned that at all? – and my all-in-one wolf costume might look a bit out of place then?
Not at all mate, that is smart casual in my book.
So can I wear my Fuck Off w. b. tie?
You will wear what you want mate, regardless of any set dress code, so I aint even going there.
Wait till you see what I am wearing!!!
Here’s a thought. If it were not for Thomas and Ben none of this would be happening and none of us would know each other (some might say that might not be bad thing!)
I really think that a Blogger’s Ball-Bash ‘do’ should include both of said gentlemen (and their respective partners) otherwise it will not be the same.
I will happily pay for – or contribute towards as I don’t want anyone to think I am minted or flash – either Thomas and partner or Ben and partner to attend the meal.
Anyone else with me?
Anyone?
No?
Just me then.
I’ll be there in some capacity mate. Definitely for a few beers, and possibly the meal. Same for Ben.
It’s me who should be buying the pints for unwavering support from the hardcore blogerati.
Be great if you could mate. Shall I include you on the dinner list. Just throw me over your menu choice if so. Likewise for Ben.
How the he’ll have you managed to read my opening words in the programme I have just finished drafting.
I have said the same words in respect of us not knowing each other had it not been for them.
You must by psychic. I am with you on that mate.
It’s spelt psycho not psychic – and as I am now incredibly old some might say I am psychorelic. Boom boom!
I hope they both agree to dine with us mate. It will be a blast. I agree with you and feel they deserve a freebie. I am interested in other diners views though.
I agree that the Blog is only here because of these guys. I’m happy to chip in as necessary.
I must be one of the youngsters now then, as I am not yet 60.
Hi Brompton, Doog, Stu and co.
I think i may be on a stag do the following day in Las Vegas so it might be a case that I come for a beer or two and then head off to get packed if that is ok with you all.
(Get me, casually dropping in a trip to Las Vegas. Not as glamorous as Houston, Texas, but it’s still better than Bentley Bridge in rushhour! )
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
And to echo others’ comments above…Well done to you all for your unwavering support of the blog. If Lambert can replicate your exhaustive efforts over the summer then we’ll have a promotion chasing side to be proud of!!! Thanks to you all.
And also, it would be great to see others for a drink beforehand who we’ve never had the pleasure of meeting before. They’re all a pretty harmless – if not compulsively obsessive – bunch!
Well done Brompton xx
It’s alright mate.
We’re moving the Ballbash from APV to LV.
Brompton’s already on the case.
Thanks for letting us know Ben. See you on the 6th. And …… I am sure you will enjoy Vegas.
Hi Brompton
Just a quick note to thanks you for organising the bash.
Bedford Wolf and I are travelling to Wolvo on the Saturday, returning home on Sunday after the Preston fixture so we will probably meet up prior to the evening meal.
Looking forward to it
Cheers
BOG
I am also travelling on the Saturday BOG, down south for me as I live in North Yorkshire. I expect to arrive around 1100 hrs latest, so see you when you get there.
Put me down for 2 seats at the Bash please Steve, if you would. If they’re still available.
Where can I find the menu choices?
Will do mate. You can see the menu here
Did not show up. Hang on.
Try this Steve.
Let me know your choices of starter main and dessert and your full names.

Steve. Rather than scanning through all the posts, can you email it to me at stevelbiles@hotmail.com
Got it buddy. Will mail you as soon as Jayney has made her mind up. 🙂
Funny thing is, Jen de Wolf and I are also jetting off to Vegas after the game, exactly 4 weeks after the game, left it that long so we could sober up sufficiently to travel.
This is our 9th trip there hence me dropping the “Las” part off old school you see. It’s Vegas.
