Best of the Black Country (Meet Up 5th October 2012)

[Pubsignman]

Now just got to find some Saturday afternoon footy entertainment!

I'm going to the Coventry vs Bournemouth match on the Saturday, so let me know if that takes your fancy. Annoyingly, it looks like I'm going to miss out on the crawl as I can't get the time off work.

That takes us up to 18. Woo hoo! Fixtures on 6th October can be found on Soccerbase. In the West Midlands you have a choice of West Brom v QPR, Birmingham v Huddersfield, Coventry v Bournemouth or the Mighty Saddlers v Carlisle. I know which one I would go for.....

Sorry you can't make it, PSM. Hope we can catch up another time.

I'd be looking to do a new ground. Burton Albion is the only realistic new league ground I could get to but they are away to Morecambe that day. That means I'm left with non-league but as it's an FA Cup date (3rd qual Round) I don't yet know who's playing anywhere.

Hi Andy, do your current numbers take you up to the next size vehicle? I'm still unsure whether this one would be possible for me but, if so, could/would you accommodate a seat or 2 for tm?
Ps. Are you forwarning target pubs to expect a large group hitting the bar at once?

Sorry TM, I've only just picked up your post. I can accommodate another half dozen now that we've stepped up to the 25 seater midi-coach.

I will contact the pubs beforehand but Richard the driver tends to do that anyway.

Thanks Andy but, sadly, circumstances won't allow my participation.
I trust a few of the group will be sampling, among many, some Sarah Hughes etc on my behalf.
Have a top top day, and I look forward to reports of derring-do in the aftermath...

Thanks for letting me know, mate.

At my last count there were 18 of us.

Look forward to seeing you all next Friday.

Just a reminder that the minibus leaves the Wellington at 12.30.

Good one Andy, looking forward to sinking a few Bathams
