APAT team event - Stoke = 1st 2nd Feb

[kizkiz]

Right, that's me booked.
I've done it separately as I'm staying sat and sun nights and the missus is coming too.
Am trying to persuade her to play some cash (she plays online a bit) but she's more interested in going to Manchester to shop
£25 a night per room is a great deal

[Digsby]

Gents, thought I'd better let you know now - I'm struggling for this. I did have the time off work but my boss has gone long term sick. I'm trying to sort something out with work but in the meantime if someone wants the place then it's probably best to let them take it. Will keep you updated.

Panic over.

I've managed to get someone to come in early for me on 1st Feb. I'm booked on the 0946 chuffer from Euston, arriving Stoke-On-Trent at midday.

Is everyone booking the same hotel as Kiz?

[spireiteontour]

am guessing at T shirt sizes here

Digs = L
Karrde = XL
Pasty = L
Hotpot = XL
Muppett = L
Spirey = XXL
Kiz = XL
Bencrus = L


what colour?

I'm a fat bustard these days

Digs - the premier inn + taxi is cheaper than anywhere else. Might even be able to persuade the other half to ferry us in with our car

[spireiteontour]

think i will get a bigger one to be honest

We havent bought t shirts since 2008

i think the green is nice
So is the royal Everton blue

am happy to order all 8 as long as we agree on colour

Digs I know you bought one last year and wd be happy to get all that colour but they dont do that colour anymore

[Digsby]

Grey gets my vote

[Hotpot]

Happy with any colour but make mine XXL please.

Does this mean the team is set then?

[Karrde]

I am L rather than XL
Blue, Green, all good, not fussed.
That hotel looks good, how long is that offer on for?

[Hotpot]

Bright Yellow!

possibly only till sunday.
Worth booking asap

[kizkiz]

Bright Yellow!

Or the red
Just to keep up the tradition of making us impossible to photograph

Booked.

[Hotpot]

what are others doing for accommodation?

The same Premier Inn? Just on Sat night, or Fri and Sat (with poker/drinks on Fri?).

I'll book the rooms if people let me know plans but that £50 offer might disappear tomorrow?

Can't believe your all going to Stoke - and I'm 12000 miles away

If you need any help on decent pubs or where to go for a bit

While your there look up 'Blythe Bridge' or 'Caverswall' that's where I was brought up

Blythe Bridge has a train station (2 stops down from stoke station about 15 mins on the train) and is 500m from my mum & dad's house - where I lived before I left for Oz - straight up Caverswall Road

Unfortunately my 'local' - " THE SMITHFIELD " which would of been opposite the station is gone

But if you walk to Forsbrook about 15 mins - you get the Roebuck (proper man's drinking pub - just locals (my dad's pub & really friendly and real ales) and next door the Butcher's Arms which has been completely refurbished and by all accounts really nice for food & drinks - this was our football pub - where we played on a sunday morning (think we formed in 1987) - got shut down for 5 years but has just reopened in the last 6 months and has got very good reviews online and more importantly from all my mates ......

Anyway Enjoy Stoke - (might be worth contacting Suzykins - if anyone needs his email - i'll check with him and give it with his permission)

Karrde - your a lucky bloke getting everyone to 'our land'

[spireiteontour]

myself kiz bencrus already booked rooms

[Karrde]

add me and hotpot to the booked list, friday and saturday night.

nice tips pom but as kaarde says, the most we see of any venue is a breakfast hole for pasty and hotpot's aperitifs and perhaps a kebab house at 3 am

[Pasty]

Sure I'll room Tom. drop us a PM with your mobile number.

[norvern muppet]

I texted you last night

Errr Dan, is now a good time to check you've booked a twin as opposed to a double?

Insert suitable smiley.

[Karrde]

Oh its a twin! It is soooo a twin. Honest. I apologise now for the mix up the receptionist will regret to inform us of.

[spireiteontour]

T shirts ordered


have gone for the greeny colour- it will stand out well but not lurid like the yellow



We got 1 for free so they will cost 17 each instead of 19.50

means you all owe me 72 nicker at Stoke

Am happy to accept 70 and a pint

[norvern muppet]

Not to be missed 5 seats guaranteed for the Dusk Till Dawn leg of the 2013 series,

and only 13 runners for £440 tickets when we kicked off
after that... jesus.. jesus

green is good, nice work

[Pasty]

[spireiteontour]

! ordered

1 X L
3 X XL
3 X XXL

The original black T shirts are past it. mine has lost its letters and is all furry.

[spireiteontour]

they look good

[Pasty]

Tom,

After our phone coversation the other night I think its best if I get the train down to Stoke on Trent station. Its only 40 mins. I could do with an offer of a lift to somewhere near to home on the Sunday night though to Bolton/Manchester if anyone could oblige?

Just need the address of the Hotel now. Cheers.
