Storm Brian supposed to be hitting this weekend. Beeb saying winds of 50mph for 3pm Sat. Probably not a good idea to be playing Hoooooooooooof ball. Game could be a farce, anyone remember Stevenage in the FA Cup?

Depending on which way the winds blowing, hoof ball could be perfect! For one half at least.
I'm at a wedding near Hungerford. Should be interesting if they plan to take photos outside!

The predicted weather could be the leveller that gives us a fighting chance against the away day might of our visitors.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

As long as Oktoberfest isn't blown away it'll be alright.

Oh, god yes. My eldest boys first game. What a nightmare, got what we deserved that day. Those St. Evenage fans on the bank couldn’t give a rats arse about getting fucking soaked, blow dryed and soaked again.

So many independent brewers nowadays. Not sure if it's a good thing or not. Many don't seem to be around very long.

If they try and fail that's a shame but overall, I can't really see a downside to it...

I only see more breweries and a wider selection all the time. It's a surprisingly small scene but growing all the time.
There is no downside whatsoever to more microbreweries popping up, it just gives me more beer to try!

Brewdog have already started down the path of selling out, private equity having given the two owners a hefty payout for a % of the business.
The micro brewery trend is pretty good over here as well, have a coupe near me in a town probably 1/3 the population size of Swindon, and I'm in the South. Think it's bigger in the North Eastern and N Central States.
I imagine strong wind combined with our style could make it more fun to watch.

There's a place in Reading where you can make your own (can upload images onto the label and everything). You basically go in, select the ingredients, mix it for a couple of mins then come back after a few weeks to collect a crate. Because you've technically brewed it, you don't get taxed on it. It's brilliant!
