****Official Match Thread - The Windsors v The Middletons 29th April 2011****

[Barrel of Fun]

Previous meetings: Just one to date...

Patrick Cracroft-Brennan, editor of the online reference work Cracroft's Peerage: "Yes, she has, but they are very distant. Her great-great-grandmother, Frances Elizabeth Greenhow, was the 10 x great-granddaughter of Sir William Gascoigne, a Yorkshire knight who died in 1487. He married Lady Margaret Percy, 4th and youngest daughter of Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland.

"The Earl descended from King Edward III through both his parents. Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana both descend from Sir William Gascoigne and his wife Lady Margaret.

"This makes William and Kate fourteenth cousins once removed through his mother and fifteenth cousins through his father.

I've been a season ticket holder since Liz and Phil got hitched and I've got ticket stubs from all home and away ceremonial visits from the last 10 years so why wasn't I given priority for front row seats.

[Giraffe]

Latest weather report suggests sunny spells for kick off. Damn, I was half hoping for a washout to grease up the playing surface.

 

[NMH]

Too many asterisks and all in the wrong place.

Divorce beckons.

I hope he doesn't get DROOPY on his wedding night

Nigel Adkins confirms that SCC will not be giving the happy couple a guard of honour...

 

[clippedgull]

Gus says the relationship 'eeesss complicated'

 

[seagullwedgee]

Wonder what the pie will be like....

I think Windsor may go one down early, but has the rod of iron strength to come from behind.

Not sure if he can match Middleton's stamina if it goes to extra time.

 

[Bwian]

The groundsman has been trimming the box-Wills wants it to look Brazilian.

They have snubbed the Dukedom of Sussex, and taken Cambridge instead.

Good news, so we can still have Duke Gus of Sussex!!
