Balague Book Launch
« on: October 15, 2025, 03:48:14 PM »
Anyone from here going tonight? Witton Arms, 7pm. Decided to go last minute, managed to get the night off, so going on me one if anyone fancies a pint. Twenty quid in though.

20 quid plus the cost of the book (if you choose)? Maybe they'll have a Hero or two there, Tayls and Tonev etc.

Make sure you ask him a searching question,  you were born for this.

Twenty quid? You could buy the Witton Arms for that much once.

Surely £20 includes the book as well?

Tayls, Townsend, amongst others. A comedian, live music, club officials (Tommy Jordan?)

Any question suggestions I should consider?

Doing a roaring trade on matchdays now. Also a decent Saturday night disco last time I was there on a non-matchday.

Twenty sheets to listen to a bloke try and flog you a book? Each to their own.

Yeah, but it's more than that as Percy described. I like these type of events.

I think Guillem puts the money towards Biggleswade FC, he's involved with them as a director or chairman. He's been there quite a while, may even have brokered Keinan Davis' move to Villa. Maybe ask him about that, show a bit of geek-Villa flex.

There seems to have been a lot of fuss made about a book that probably won't be either definitive or groundbreaking.

Well he's worked in meeja since '91, self-publicity should be a breeze with that history.

He’s chairman of Biggleswade United. Keinan Davis came from Biggleswade Town.
