20/02/2011 - Forum Football @ Goodwin Sports Centre

[Foxy]

This is in General Blades Chat as it is an open invite to all.

For a few years, a number of us have been intermittently meeting on a Sunday morning to have a friendly, "non-competitive" game of football. It started as a way to keep in touch through the close season and carried on.

All age-ranges and abilities are welcome and the cost of the pitches are shared equally between those playing.

Goals used to be the venue of choice, but they've forced their prices up too high (almost £40!) so we've investigated other pitches. We've had the last two weeks at Goodwin Sports Centre and their 3g, 5-a-side pitches cost £27 on a Sunday.

So, if anyone is free this coming Sunday morning and fancies a game, this is what you need to know:

Venue: Goodwin Sports Centre, Sheffield (Click here for directions)
Time: 09:30
Cost: £27 shared equally between players
What you need: Trainers or astro-turf boots. No studs. Shinpads optional. A sense of humour.
Guests are welcome.

Please yay or nay for definite by Friday night if possible. I can then let everyone know in enough time if the numbers are looking good enough to get a game on and book the pitch.

RSVP by replying to this thread!
Non-members can express an interest by email to [email protected]

Cheers!

[Linz]

Buses are still running and it's an all-weather pitch so this should still be on barring any torrential snowstorms tonight

Weather forecast if for it to be overcast but no more snow or rain.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Playing footy against your kids certainly makes you feel ancient. :nod:

 

[JordanR]

[i3lade4life]

[Linz]

I think they're on the lower pitches from how Foxy was describing it to me the other day.

He usually books pitch one.

 

[i3lade4life]

[Linz]

My brother has threatened to actually get out of bed too so you've definitely got a game on.

 

[Foxy]

Yep definitely on tomorrow fellas, see you all in the morning,

 

[Foxy]

Will get a thread up early next week and will get the pitch sorted and confirmed asap.
