i met up with yed at the last match and he was drinking HALVES.... make of that what you will.

........Of vodka, unlike wkd boy.

I was due to meet Yed, who in turn was meeting Fatbelly at the London game. I got to the Pub, but couldn't find them. There was a well built lad in there, but I didn't have the bottle to ask, 'Are you Fatbelly?' You never know what the reaction might be if you get the wrong person.

My query was based on reading with great interest how London based Wire fans were trying to meet up for TV games, just how close is Chiswick to Putney and can you get there on the Jubilee Line on a friday after 6.00 pm etc etc? Also on the Salford board they seem to have an Christmas Pub Crawl which breaks the monotony of the off season esp when a rogue Swinton fan threatens to turn up.
Just wondered if 'we' had similar?

yed only plucked up the courage to briefly talk to me just as i was leaving the london match last season!
i must admit i'd been nights the night before and probably looked a little worse for wear!

and don't get me started on the illuminati!

We could start a stalking thread. The first time I saw Slim was at Wigan a few years ago, I was in the beer queue and a bloke in front of me shouted 'allrightslim!'

fame at last!

What a good name for a group! The Wigan Illuminati. Far better than Ultras or Brigantes. They could have Halos instead of flags.

despite me only introducing myself to slim away at catalan last year, my first actual experience of talking to him, was away at wigan in 2002, when we got ted, we spent most of the second half talking about rammstein.

seen as everyone else is doing it
