Thing is, since I’m only in town for a weekend, I’ll have to combine this with irl friends too, but that’s fine, right?

If Tonbridge have beaten Billericay on the Sat afternoon I’m going to be having an absolute mad one and probably being extremely annoying by quoting Glenn Tamplin’s famous pep talk

Are you at Billericay or at home?

#18

At home. Sadly the Riccay away game is on the one weekend of the season where I am unavailable for any football activity, so I won’t get to see the Muriel up close :sob:

#19

I have no idea what any of this means

#20

Ah, shame! If you are ever travelling to Billericay then let me know, it is only about 20 minutes on the bus from here, I’d go meet you (and cheer on Tonbridge, obvs).

Google Glenn Tamplin (Billericay owner/former manager). Tl;dr he pumped an insane amount of money into the club, went viral after an astonishing pre match pep talk (before a cup final v Tonbridge, where they fucking dicked us 8-3 with their team for former Premiership players), then did loads of insane shit including having a mural (which he has referred to as ‘the muriel’) painted on their ground with a panel that shows him and his wife asleep in bed while God tells him to go forth and buy Billericay

This is the tip of the Tamplin iceberg.

I messaged @profk about if he was gonna be in town for a Xmas meat, then went to start a thread and found this was already a thing

What you thinking of doing? Daytime or just evening time? Food or just pub?

Also @ma0sm where you staying? (Stay somewhere south, south is best)

I am keen for a DiS football meet and Dulwich Hamlet are at home on Sunday 7th Dec this year…

bump

We’re still doing the Cambridge thing right?

#27

I’m staying up north east, Highbury way.

Do you want to take over the organisation stuff? Seems that the Saturday is the consensus. I have no idea where is good. Somewhere fairly central would be helpful though as I’ll be out and about with my girlfriend all day.

#28

The usual DiS hangout, Craft Beer Co in Islington, would be quite convenient for where you are staying.

(I hope to make this, babysitter dependant)

Craft Beer Co is great but might be nice to mix it up - there’s loads of good pubs near there

I won’t be able to come anymore unfortunately, but I still think it should go ahead. @iamwiggy was keen on it, fancy taking it over?

#33

Fucking hell! Need to try to cancel hotel and limo now.
