on an alternate game basis (i.e. you take the two tickets for one game, we take them for the next)?
PM if interested.

Or if you'd like a looser commitment, putting your name down for a few games a season is also an option.Quote:

Or complicated meets.
We did it last season with a fella who lives in Crouch End. Worked just fine :shrug:Quote:

Sounds exciting! Imagine being on a train from the south of London and arriving at St Pancreas! It's madness!Quote:

Ah, but then there's a risk he'll feel like you're excluding him and resent you.Quote:

Hopefully he'll soon be old enough to appreciate the quality of the football. One look at the shít served up by Unai Emery's finest should see him reject football firmly.Quote:

Not sure if it works like that. Remember the football in the seventies? Yet here we are.Quote:

Thus they had to invent the bridge. Music, booze and a kebab, followed by a journey home in a vehicle controlled by a Londoner with a poorer command of English than oneself. How times change.
All of the pleasure gardens, all over London, went out of fashion as they got too rowdy and disreputable. Ladies of negotiable affection, and so on.Quote:
