The crowd at the recent Ital fan club meeting in Batley has been declared a record after someone turned up.

The man in question stated that he had inadvartantly been to the meeting, on account of it being (literally) on his door step, however officials have stated that it still counts.

The organises are hoping to build on this success at next years meet, which will take place in Grimsby, North Lincolneshire. However, the event is already clouded in controversy, as it will be moved from its traditional spring slot into late October. One official defended the move, saying that drery days show the Ital in its best light
