Future Events

I have been back four days now, and it is time to put my recent voyage behind me, and begin to look forward to what is on offer for the remainder of 2008. First up is Tom's stag night. It is officially booked, and it is good to see some old Bender Squad mainstays making the trip. It is all systems go to the Emerald Island and the fair city of Dublin on the weekend of the 6th of September. This will however put paid to any plans to go to Italy this year, as I have not recently won the lottery, and with the credit crunch starting to eat up my overtime, prudence will need to be used. This will NOT, however put paid to a football jaunt for the lads this year. Happen we may have to set our sights a little lower though. In past years we have visited the mighty structures that are home to some of Europes mightiest teams. The Nou Camp. Santiago Brenabeau. Amsterdam AreaA. Allianz Arena. Valley Parade. So for a change it might be nice to go a little more grassroots. The city I have in mind is considered one of the greatest on the planet. London town no less. Yet the ground may not be familiar to all of you. It is Griffin Park, that I propose we visit, home of the humble Brentford Football Club. They play the Mighty Bantams on the 13th of December, and we plan to make a weekend of it, going down Friday afternoon, and catching the train back sometime Sunday. I would recommend that anybody who decides to come along book of the Monday, as these jaunts can get a bit messy. Me, Crespo and the Shoutster are definitely going, but as usual, the more the merrier. Whilst we are on the subject of the Mighty Bantams, don't forget the first game of the season is at home, against Notts County. We had a ball last year, hope to see you there.
