Ok then, is anyone else interested?

Sorry, I can't say yes or no until closer to the time.

...and TB makes 4

Sorry for delay Downsouf - but based near Stuttgart currently in the week with a Chinese client on due diligence. Whilst I commute home on weekends and will be at the match I am loathe to give up my one family evening out for dinner. So I will miss out - also am not sure its really equable to find that you greatly enjoy someone's company and then want to criticise them in a posting later.

By the way I am working with some Hoffenheim supporters who despite still not winning since his arrival are reasonably happy with his first games- not happy with the club though for pocketing the huge fee for Firmino from Liverpool and not spending. He was apparently their playmaker rather than striker and that's what they are lacking

I'm stuck in the sandpit i am adaid not back till April be with you in spirit waiting for it all to kick off.

Fully understand nev. Likewise JG, and the response this time around has been noticeably 'tepid' compared to the initial calling to order some months ago when it was, perhaps, more fondly considered. We are scattered about all points of this nation, and beyond, but it remains hopeful a good natured gathering will take place no matter how meagre the numbers are on the day.

Are there any other of you good chaps ready and willing?

Would it be more useful to move it to 28th?
