Sorry if this has been done and I missed it. Have we ever considered meeting up with chums on this board for a pint or five? Or should we preserve the anonymity that comes from only knowing each other electronically? I mean if we were to meet and turned out to be a bunch of tossers then the magic may be lost forever. But I suspect the chances of that are quite slim. As I say, sorry if its been done or discounted before. Any thoughts?
It has been mentioned before mate but, it didn't really get off the ground. I never say no to a few beers so if people do fancy it I'm deffo there.
Quite a lot on here think I am a tosser - without ever meeting me - so I shall not sully any gathering with my malevolent presence. Having said that, I am actually quite a nice person and would dearly love to meet a few not606ers, so who knows?
I don't Ponders. As much as I enjoy everyone on here I doubt I'd be too game for a meet up to be honest; personally it would ruin it for moi slightly although I can't eloquently explain why... http://sendawaythetigers.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/a-mans-best-friend/
You are welcome to meet up here in the Dominican Republic while I am still here. I guarantee the time of your life if you don't bring the missus. No live soccer to watch though, just cockfighting and baseball.
Must admit, was going to put 'Eddies place' into the comment - but didnt know if you were still there.
Thank you, Kish and Mike. I also appreciate your posts and their concise nature. I like to think we are down-to-earth sort of dudes. It's a London thing, innit?
I don't think so either, Ponders. You have strong views, usually well articulated - I often don't agree with them, but no-one could doubt the depth of your convictions. As for a mass meet-up, I'm not sure about that. I've met up with individual not606 members and it's been great but the air of mystique that comes from the relative anonymity of posting behind a monicker and playing "spot a2c" at a game is not to be underestimated.
What do you mean "usually well articulated", Tewks? Seriously, though, you are a gentleman, Tewks - a real good egg.
If it were hooters and IA put us up then defs! I'm open to meeting up, but its been mentioned a few times before but never materialists. I think a few have unknowingly met before.. I remember after the southend game it turned out me and "big Phil's red army" (606'er) had been sat a row apart.
As for a meet, if you want to me me around 12ish at most home games I can been seen briefly at the Rose & Denmark pub till about 12:30 as I then head to the ground to get things prepared for 1:30 which is when I start my job.
i would be well happy to meet up. i think this board is great and a lot more highbrow than most other teams banalities. i would love to meet PEA for sure. we could argue about politics but share mutual love of CAFC. would just need some notice as i will probably only go to 2 or 3 more games this season
I often wonder whether I am sat next to or close to fellow not606rs at the Valley. I guess we each have our notiuons of what other might look or sound like.
