Forum Football (4, 5, 6 or 7 a side) - Sunday 25th September

[Foxy]

For any new members, we try and get a game of football on every week - as long as we can get a minimum of 8 people confirming for definite by early Saturday evening, the game goes ahead.

It's a friendly kick around for a couple of hours open to anyone who wants to turn up, regardless of skill, age or fitness... do feel free to bring a mate. The main aim is to have a laugh.

Venue: Goals, 95 Norfolk Park Road, S2 2RU

Time: 10:00 Sunday

Cost: The cost of the pitch is shared equally between players - between £2 - £3 each depending on how many turn up

What you need: Trainers, moulded or astro-turf boots. No studs. Shinpads optional.

Please yey or nay in the poll above... you can change your vote if your availability changes

[coaxingstar71]

Potential bad news is that Goals won't let me book a free pitch.
I've made a complaint and I'm waiting for a response but the reason was that my team didn't play this week. It's a joke, because we would have played if the team we were supposed to be playing hadn't cancelled the game and we're still due to play our next game on Monday.

Anyway presuming we are going ahead the choices are :

1. Book and pay for a pitch, think it's about £35
2. Just turn up and play without telling them!

I've keep you informed if I get a response to my complaint.

 

[Small Mendonca]

We should probably just turm up and play. There shouldn't be a problem getting a pitch on a Sunday morning.

Heard anything back yet?

We look like we've got enough, so should be able to get something on.

Heard nothing so suggest we just turn up

Heard nothing so either of the choices I said above. Turn up and pay for a pitch or risk it and just go on a pitch without paying.

I can no longer make it either so the choice is yours!

 

[Foxy]

What do we want to do people?

 

[Stef]

If we turn up, I doubt they're going to refuse our money?

 

[raul]

Don't fancy driving down with the potential for turning round straight away. Is there enough without me?

 

[Small Mendonca]

So we're cancelling the game when we have 10, goals have pitches and won't charge us more than £35? Madness.

 

[Stef]

I'm guessing a few people won't even check this morning, so let's just get down there?

 

[Small Mendonca]

I'm guessing a few people won't even check this morning, so let's just get down there?

Agreed. We'd be stupid not to play when a pitch exists and we have numbers.

It'll be a first if they charge us as little as £35, but I'm up for playing as planned.

 

[Foxy]

See you all shortly then

 

[Small Mendonca]

Cheers to those who said they would play and didn't turn up without giving any notice. We turned up, had 6 and didn't play. raul drove from Wakefield for a game that didn't happen. Much appreciated.
