    Hi Ladies,

    I'm sure i've read on here about alot of ladies writing to their h2b's favourite sports team to see if you can get a signed 'something' as your gift to your h2b on the wedding day. I think this is a really great idea and would like to see if i can get something.
    When should i start contacting them though? I dont want to do it too far in advance for fear that when the wedding comes and i give him the gift half the team have joined other clubs etc but i dont want to leave it too late that i dont manage to get anything because there isn't enough time to sort it.

    I want to do this but have no idea who to contact?!

    Maybe everyone who has done this could post the email address on my wall?

    Or just explain who and how to go about it.. I'm thinking of England Rugby team

    If you are getting hitched in 13 months, you will be coming up to the end of the season any way. There are 2 transfer windows and the one closest to your date ends 31st Jan. But it maybe that he has a fav player so any time would be good. ;-)

    Good luck

    Well if it is Spurs then I know for sure that you will defo get it!
    Take a look at my Spurs album. Me and the H2B are mad Spurs fans and go abroad too!

    When I wasnt well a couple years back, I wrote in and asked if I could just buy a ticket for a particular game that always gets sold out! I wasnt asking for freebies, just the chance to go to a home game against the arse. I got 2 tickets and a signed shirt!

    COYS!!!!!

    Jae, I just went to check your album you mentioned but was distracted by your jewellery! Where did you get the necklace and ring? My wedding is Firework night and I have a star theme and that's exactly the type of necklace I am looking for as Bridesmaid's gift!

    Ahhhh Harry is soooo nice! The end of teh first home game against Liverpool, he sat outside in his car for well over an hour signing autographs and was so pleasant. Think you really do have to try and get your timing well, as if it is out of season he wont be "in the office".

    If you dont have any luck let me know and I can ask my mate if he can help out. He is an avid signature collector, and on one shirt has almost collected 125 signatures from past and present players! (Your H2B will understand the significance of the 125 shirt, assuming that you think I am crazy!)

    The Spurs team wont change now as the transfer window is closed until the end of the season. Unlikely that Harry will leave now, unless the England job comes knocking.

    Thats a shame. Have you thought about getting him to read at the reception the messages from "absent guests" and everyone will be able to see his face?
