Was with another foot.ier yesterday (Watched DagnRed V Bath -good old style FA cup game!) and we were both wondering that if would be fun maybe to have a foot.ie London meet up. He was telling me back in the day there used to be great ones in London town, everyone arriving in football jerseys and the like.
I know a few London foot.iers so I am enquiring if there is any appetite for this out there?
With maybe having the Sheephaven as a venue and the first/second week in December as a date?
Cheers
:D

I've never been able to take part in any of these, I take holiers pretty seriously so I wouldn't travel. I'll throw in a few Foot.ie t-shirts and things though; let me know (in plenty of time, cos I'll have to order them) if ye decide to go ahead and I'll find a way of getting them over there. Same for a meetup in Dublin. If there's one in Cork I might actually turn up, and that should be reward enough for ye. :)

If it happens before the 14th (when I leave London for good), I'll certainly try and be there.

Ok so have sent a few texts to a few London heads asking if they are interested, and asking whether December the 2nd (with maybe a 3.00 FA cup game thrown in as well - 4/5 London teams playing that day!) OR if that's too early then Saturday 10th?? OR maybe friday/sunday are better days?
Will await replies to see if this can go ahead:D (but I guess a few are still on the come down from last week!)

If it helps and am about, will show up.
Likewise if it helps similarly, I won't.....

Have a few contacts for some foot.ie lapsed posters so I could quite possibly drag them along.

Plus a potential guest appearance from GR maybe?
And you could always PM, EG !!!

After all it is the season of, er, good will to all men....

I'd vote the 2nd personally but could possibly make a bit of it a week later. Any later than that and I won't be there so feel free to cancel the whole thing in that case.

So Sheephaven in Mornington Cresant Saturday 10 December at 6.30.
I will be there with a few others, so if anybody extra turns up that's great - I will wear a LOI jersey, so easy to spot!
I am also going to see Leyton Orient play, (sure will get to the pub by 6.30!), so if anyone is up for that too then send me a pm.
Cheers
