    A few of us had a chat after the Preston match & the subject of meet-ups came up. What better time to meet up than the end of the best season for many a year - no matter the outcome? A lot of us go, but never actually get the opportunity to meet, either before or after the match. How about we co-ordinate for the rest of the season? We met post-match in the Pavillion yesterday for the first time. Billy's & the Peacock were rammed, but although busy, the Pavillion seemed a bit roomier, easier to get served, and astoundingly quieter. There's some sort of deal for getting in, but Glory's got more detail on that then me. So how about it, chaps?

    We've got 4 real opportunities:

    Wolves: WJ, Glory, OLOF (poss), LeedsRev (poss),
    Norwich: WJ, Shacko, OLOF, Wakey, Marcos,
    Playoff Semi: WJ, OLOF,
    Playoff final: WJ, Glory, Eire, Davy, OLOF,

    Anyone up for it? If so, plonk your name & match down & I'll group it all together in this OP to co-ordinate. Be good to see the other faces, and for those who haven't met up before, you'll be able to see that Glory really does look like Benny Hill. And who knows, OLOF might even tempt Alf to turn up too!

    The deal in the Pavillion if you can forget that it was Bates's baby ( I struggle with that) is:

    pre match.
    Members and ST holders get in free. None members pay £5.00 but get a £3.90 bar voucher but beer is 2 pints for £5.
    Marcos bought a round for 30p yesterday.

    After the game its free entry, but the place sometimes shuts at 6 for evening dinner events. But by that time billys has quietened down so just walk round the corner.

    Ben noticed the bar staff in the pavillion were tidy!

    The mrs and I are doing wolves.
    Good news for Ristac, I cant do Norwich so he can get himself along..
    The foramilty of the play off two legger will be every man for themselves I think.

    Wembley. I have booked into the wembley holiday inn (can always sell room on for profit if it goes tits up). But 200m from stadium and has a decent bar that wont get too rammed serving only residents and their guests.... You will be welcome!

    Perhaps she could invest the £200 in geography lessons. Teneriffe isn't in the Med! :D

    The last time I stayed in the HI Wembley, it was 20 deep at the bar. It's expensive, but not as expensive as Wembley stadium, hence the attraction.

    Is that you looking a gift horse in the mouth?
    Hardly any queues when we were at the rugby in october!
    Normal Lindon prices and they did seem to have offers on.

    Try this. If the parameters don't carry over with the link, use the custom search & select Pullmantur as the cruise line. You can then leave it be, or select 'Canary Islands', Med, Repositioning' etc., as you wish. Bit of an eye-opener for all inclusive cruises. Downside - doesn't include tips (or service charges, as they call them now), or flights.

    I was wrong about the Canary Island prices. Only a few are £200 - the rest are much CHEAPER!

    I was last there for england v Scotland. 20 deep is no exaggeration. From when it opened to when it closed, except match time. Real drinkers. No english allowed. Rugby fans have an occasional Campari & soda, so not busy at bar.

    Marcos bought a round for 30p. I know the North is cheaper but that is rediculous.

    Marcos is a typical southerner. Let chesh and me get the dear rounds in.
    But free beer vouchers and he was in there faster than Bradley Wiggins exiting Boots the chemist.

    In other news olof still didnt get a round in!
