Its so nice to see the EFM crew preparing for a big day out on Saturday. Its great they pay us this respect and plan to bring the whole circus to town for party time. They always give me something to laugh at as they take defeat so well. I only hope this Saturday the 'mouth in numbers brigade' don't behave so foolishly and get our bar closed early - lets have a good afternoon lads; Especially Jon Farmer. And NO flares (either real like at Clarence a few weeks back or the type worn by the furry Jacket man)

[GHA EFM]

Why no flares? Why no Jon Farmer? BOTH add greatly to the comedy value.

If you really need to ask 'why no flares' at a venue next to some fairly busy shipping lanes, then I doubt whether you should be allowed out unsupervised. Or indeed allowed out.

[CANV EFM]

i dunno.. having a 30 ton bright yellow sea king hovering over the pitch would make for lively pre match entertainment.. help dry the turf out to

[Tom S]

30 ton? Didn't realise Jeff weighed that much!

[GHA EFM]

Flares it quite probably will be then. And surely the Sea Kings can distinguish between water and industrial wasteland, can't they?

[Guest]

.....thats right High Avaitor, just as they can real parts of London and overspills of Watford. And real 'firms' of footy hooligans and wannabees. <img src="graemlins/clown.gif" border="0" alt="" /> <img src="graemlins/clown.gif" border="0" alt="" /> <img src="graemlins/clown.gif" border="0" alt="" /> <img src="graemlins/clown.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Can they then distinguish between 'real' hooligan firms and a group of lads out to have a laugh and a piss-take every Saturday and Tuesday? Coz I can distunguish between the two. And I think EFM also know which category they fall into.

Hi furry jacket bloke here!<p>Good to see everything being taken in the good humour it deserves!<p>You buy the flares from the sailing shop in Shaftsbury Avenue.
