In a late ticket purchase flurry, I'm going to the match today & wondered if I could join the Strawberry clique for one day only. Is anuyone going to be there?

Dave,

A good selection of the usual suspects will be there. In addition, I understand Val & Fifties Fan could well be there today.
I'm still uncertain as to whether I will make it, but it would be great to meet you after exchanging a stream of consciousness for so long (!) - I'll do my best to get in.

If you've never met the gang there, they tend to congregate to the left of the bar as you walk in, or in the small area at the back left of the bar - closest to the toilets!

D-l-F, there will be a fair few there. In addition to the "ex-HK" clique mentioned by Al K Traz, there'll be Softie, Dougal, Steph, Susie Brown Ale, moi, Dr Bill (probably) and a rara appearance from Pilgrim and Little Pilgrim. If you're lucky, Kats and or Jay may also be there. Flippin' 'eck. We'd better start looking for a bigger clique-hoose.

PS. Don't forget your subs and the waterproofs for the initiation ceremony.

So are they the designated cheerleaders? Will they be wearing flippy little skirts and waving pom poms? ;-)

After much promise I missed you lot again. I met up with my uncle (family first as they say in Eastenders) in the Labour club for a swifty & popped into the Strwberry at 2.15. It was packed to the rafters thought it impossible to find a load of chaps I've never met before. So next time, I'll be more organised. Decent result, crap performance though.

Excuses. Nah! You do of course realise that for every time you fail to show up after promising to attend, the initiation ceremony gets even more hideous?
