inspired by the 'tickets' thread ...
just a thought here, but would any of the yank bigsoccer yids be at all interested in co-ordinating a match at the lane next fall? it looks as though a few of us take in matches as we can - getting over once or twice a year, perhaps - but would anyone be interested in arranging it that a few (or more) could do the same match - including a pint or two before and after in one of the high road's finer establishments?
it occurs to me that i've co-ordinated footy meetings in blighty with a few folks from message boards of four different clubs - even a few of the BS gooners - but never any of the people from this (my longest standing) forum. and as the subject of travel has come up ...
so, would anyone be interested? no huge deal. i'm not talking about co-ordinating flights, or hotels, or anything (though individuals could do so, of course, if inclined); but just looking at the fixture list, batting it around, and coming up with some match that a handfull of us would like to take in. it sounds like quite a few here have never been to the lane, and if you've not, i'd strongly encourage any spurs fan to do so - particularly as it may not be around much longer. as stated on the other thread, it can all be done fairly cheaply, if done right; and obviously there is a world of other reasons why a few days in london can be great fun. it's not complex, but those of us who are more familiar can lend some logistical assistance, if requested, i'm sure.
matches this spring could be considered, as well, although it looks like a couple of folks are already commited to their dates; and some folks might need more time for logistics ... saving money, passports, cheap airfare, etc. so, any interest?
just throwing it out there.
