Sorry to have missed you Sean (haven't got a 2008 "haircut photo" !!) - had I not been down in Belper, I'm sure a trip to the Buffet would have happened (I've been told the roof is now on the conservatory) - hope you enjoyed your victory at Ashton United - will keep an eye on the next round draw ... see you .... sometime !
