No updated total as far as I know.

Apparently 600+ have signed up and pledged since the end of the deadline so that total should be over 11k.

wasn't it a case of 600+ pledging between the noon deadline and the total being announced and then club stopped taking pledges the next day and just sold tickets?

Any update on the sales?

I think the last update had us at over the 5,000 mark so we are still some way off those 14,000/15,000 crowds.

Well, a floor board has broken in the ticket office - that's how much traffic there has been through there!

When I was up the other Wednesday it was pretty busy with folk queing to get served.

Not all of it! I believe the ones near Cooper Lane end may have Bfd numbers but most of Shelf has 01422 dialling code.

Yes my Nan used to live in Shelf and had the Halifax phone number.

01422 numbers were very popular around Shelf in the mid 80's, a lot changed to 01274 in the mid 90's, a good number moved back to 01422 & tried for 01484 in the mid 00's, there has been a lot of interest in 01274 recently due to the cheaper peak rate.

None however tried for an 01132 number, despite the salesmen for that area assuring everybody loads must have done...

Form is temporary, class is permanent. No idea of the relevance of that, I just like the sound of it.

And as for those the crowning achievement of whose existence is the possession of an 01943 number...don't they all follow rugger when not watching the polo or croquet?

That number used to baffle me, because it actually doesn't exist. 0113 does but not a prefix of 01132.

My God, I think I've just bored myself. Bring back Eddie Hemmings

No, ragger.

Shelf is actuallly Halifax i believe
