The Helsinki invasion has begun!

The advance party of Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' are already on Finnish soil as I type this from South-East London!

I will be in the second wave, flying from Gatwick in the morning.

We are all really looking forward to seeing all the friends we made on our trip last year, and will play the HJK Helsinki supporters' at 11.00am local time, on Saturday morning.

I return to English next Wednesday, flying back from Riga, in Latvia! So expect a report and photos about a week after that!

In case you're wondering our tour party is:

Mick O'Shaughnessy; Mark Hutton; Dawn Taylor; Steve Rickerby; Phil Baker; Darren Nicolas; Matt Hammond; John Prendergast; David O'Shaughnessy; Shaun Dooley; Paul Griffin & Mishi Morath. Also 'guesting' for us are Stephane Tournay, from UR Namur supporters' in Belgium; & a friend of his, Dave, an Anderlecht fan.

Here's hoping for another great trip!

I once poured some beer over Phil Baker in the Wetherspoon's pub at Highbury Corner. Since then loads of people have asked why I didn't do it sooner or more often!
Have a great trip. - Ramgun

PS My regards to both Mr Baker and a certain one-eyed gentleman(?)
