Funny things TV people - Has anyone tried John Sweeney yet?

Yep, but he wouldn't stop shouting so I hung up

He seemed very interested when I spoke to him, made a point of wanting to interveiw the players in the shower....

The last article (hopefully) for the website has been sent to our builder which will enable us to get on line.
A final check by myself and the rest of the team and we should be live and on-line by Saturday!
(Big thanks to Paul "Nelz" Nelson and to Paul Dalby for all the help and support on this)

Confirmed - the fantastic and talented 'Kitten Von Mew' is donating her time and assets to the day!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurray - huge thanks to her for that!! Thanks Kitten!

We have three confirmed pro footballers and a further 5 confirming availability.
One well known actor has confirmed also!

All smiles this end

Huge big up to Dave Spelling (Hanser) and to Louise Robertson (Helga) for the massive effort they are putting in.

Are their dress guidelines for pitch guards? IE M36 or M43?

This event is sounding better and better, I have some friends down that neck of the woods and they are totally blown away by the concept of this!!

Can't wait

[Reich Crispies]

Thanks for the kind words Cruiser.
Dave, lou and me are busting our buns trying to get this all together.
The support (logistically and physically) from our peers in the hobby has been humbling to say the least.

The match "officially" takes place in 1942, but an M36, 40 or 42 pattern is fine.
As its not frontline duty, no need for E-tool, bread-bag and definatley no cammo
Waffen-SS or Heer is also fine.

Some of the vehicles will be in dunkelgelb but were just glad folks are bringing them
