Will there be a prize for whoever sends the best cross over?

I'm also guessing the BBMF will be fielding Hawker HarryKane? :whistle:

Come on Caper, you can't start punning that well so early in the year. The rest of us have no chance!

Regrettably the pitch at Lincoln Utd has been declared unplayable for tomorrow’s match (combination of recent and forecast weather), so we have had to postpone until 14th March.


I love the way they have declared a pitch unplayable based on weather than hasn't happened yet. The Reds and BBMF - doing their best to disappoint the paying public and then blaming it on the weather.

Not really, if its too windy the BBMF just won't play. Also if too many spectators gather outside the ground, the Reds will be forced to play at an alternative venue. :sad:

BBMF cancelling because of weather. The Oxford English Dictionary might need to rewrite the entry for "irony".

Shame for the charities they were raising money for wouldn’t you say! Still put your feet up, have a pie, and watch the mighty Blues second 11 take on Norwich, probably about the same entertainment level. Maybe press the donate button for one of the charities. Maybe Dan could stream a charitable commentary? Maybe 558s Hangar will get built? Maybe too many maybes in there!

The usual diamond formation in midfield will make it rather crowded..... :lol:

Maybe when the three-ship Virgin Media Red Arrows (flying Grobs) and the Battle of Britain Memorial Spitfire are all the RAF have to contribute to the airshow circuit we'll rue the day we slagged them rotten.

I trust the ref will take a dim view of any diving towards the crowd.
