PROPOSED FLIGHTS CANCELLED!
The proposed flights that we were looking to book through FlyBe have been cancelled. This is due to the fact that a large increase in flight prices occurred over the weekend.
We will now sit down and have a chat about our intentions in Blackburn on the Wednesday with the 12 travelling members of the branch. Suggestions could be paying a deposit of £40 to myself and I will process a group booking through my Visa, when we agree on a cheaper alternative.
We would like to apologise for any inconvience caused and are glad to report that none of our members had purchased these flights, alough in 24 hours time, there would have been a different story.

Allright, things are starting to pick up, and the tournament isn't far away. Ronny and Markus are now definitively playing for Norway, alongside me and Paal (and Christian?). I think Paal and possibly Ronny will give you a ring about the Woodlands, Simon..
Looking forward to this, any of you planning on taking a detour for the Spurs game by the way?

This competition is going to be very tough, but we're more than up for it. Good to see that you have a full squad represented and you will have no complaints when you forfeit the trophy. ;D We are trying to raise a few pounds for 'Scope' charity and will be sending out sponsorship sheets in due course and are waiting on word from Blackburn with regards to prizes etc. I was chatting to Paal yesterday and he said that he will be looking for accommodation for both you and him and Ronny and the others will confirm later. Unfortunately I'm in the same bracket as Johnny and Christian, as we all aren't Milliionaires yet and therefore won't be making the wee detour to Spurs. So when are you heading over?

Thats ok Christian, play for whoever the hell you want then. We dont need you, Your crap anyway. Simon is the best goalie by far!!! Family forum wee man! I had a little chat with my norway friends and it looks like i will be playing for them. Had a bad game tonight as it goes, but for every bad one theres 99 good ones i spose. Gets that one out of my system. I think it's time to get my fitness campaign up and running. ;D
