Portsmouth away, 4th August

[Annoyed Grunt]

Polishing my cutlass as we speak..................

is that what they're calling it nowadays??

Your life is pretty much like a Carry On film, isn't it?

[BwfcDan]

Do people really travel to pre-season friendlies? I wouldn't bother even if i lived in Portsmouth.

Depending on the opponents, they're usually a laugh. We stayed over in Scotland for a few nights a couple of year back when we played Falkirk and St Johnstone, reet good laugh. Then there was the trips to Germany/Holland as well.

Only thinking of bothering with Accy Stanley though this summer.

Was about to say - I wouldn't be going to this even if it was a home game!

I thought you were originally promising to arrange yourself a meeting and then pick everyone up on the way!!

Not that I recall, but feel free to surprise me

I could easy sort a meeting out in Pompey if anyone really fancies it.

the bit about lifts I think you said on fb...

I knew I could depend on you I shall have to recant by dint of me (a) exercising my right to change my mind but chiefly (b) me having no chance of arranging any such meeting by way of it being at the end of my first week back after two weeks off, so I'll be office-bound for the week. You weren't getting a lift anyway (are you sure about me offering a lift to anyone, the route from here to Portsmouth doesn't take me anywhere near anyone. I can pick people up on, say, the way to the south London games though)

I think you said you could go via East Sussex...

anyway - you're right - there's no sensible route that takes you past Babbacombe! (where I will be in 6 days' time) {gulp}

The A379 goes past Babbacombe. I'll stick to that.

Ooh, is this where you will be ministering?

arf!

indeed!! I have been shrunk especially!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Babbacombe's lovely. Been there. Including the model village.

Portsmouth's not lovely. Won't be going, for previously-explained reason: Pompey mate's urging me to boycott it.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Babbacombe's nice, went to the model village (check out the miniature football stadium there, which has a streaker running across the pitch !), and to some other victorian times type place (Bygones i think) which was ok but lil bit steep for what you got.

aye - walked past that - it's in the middle of the high street.. (2mins walk from my new house..) -
will have to go - if only to be able to advise guests not to!!

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Yes that's it, we parked in some car park just to the right of it. Nice high street, will pop in for a scone next time we're down there !(which is in about 8 weeks actually, though i think we're only staying in Exmouth this time ).

Took me a while to realise that wasn't a real church...

It's obvious it's not a real church - there are people around

[Devon White]

New season , new start, we will probably go from devon, if you are meeting in a pub before can you send the details via a pm, for some daft reason I am looking forward to this season
