All those who know the lads who have done the slimathon will be happy to hear that the end is in sight, at last, no more sad lonley figures wandering around the ‘Nops clutching a diet coke and asking “can I sniff yer lager mate?”, no more anguished looks as they go past the pie seller, no more drooling every-time they see a ham and peas pudding sarnie (eds note, and no more searching each others bags at the gym looking for evidence of sneaky Newboulds pasties either!)

 It’s worthwhile remembering why they put them selves through the hell that is “not drinking” - yes, it’s hard to believe, some people, voluntarily stopped drinking.

The objective was to raise money for the MDSA lads, to get the funding towards a new bus.  Paddy and the the lads are real supporters, they have a presence at matches home and away, and their existing bus (Willie) has been all over europe, frankly, they need a new bus.

So with this in mind,  Ian Woods, Dave Barnes, Alan Murray and  Jason Watkin set out to lose 10 stone between them, thats about a leg each!

Theres a weigh in tonight, lets see if they get over the final hurdle (dangling a parmo in front of them at this stage would encourage them to scale a 6 foot barbed wire fence frankly).

If they do need a foew more quid to hit their target, dig deep, remember why they have done it.

Fatknacker - a recent picture!

Well done from all at Block17, who have been proud to support you lads!
