Next year will be either 6 or 7 years since we started playing 5-a-side between a few of us on the forum.
Over the years, it's ranged from as low as 8 or so regulars to far too many to fit on a pitch, but over the last few months it's dwindled somewhat - meaning we've struggled to play regularly.
This isn't good, because it's a great way to fill a Sunday morning (or alternative time if more popular) and have a light hearted laugh and "run about" offering our own unique brand of the game we all love. It also offers a great way to meet and get to know other forum members.
I intend to attempt to get things up and running with more regularity in the new year, so this is a call to the regulars, those who've fallen by the wayside and those who've thought it might be a good idea but never quite got around to it... Dust off your boots or trainers and come and have a laugh with us.
If you've never been before, get yourselves along! we currently play at Pitz (or Powerleague as it's now known) and usually end up chucking in a couple of quid each to pay for the pitch, the more turn up, the cheaper it is. It's all AstroTurf (the latest generation stuff, so no carpet burns) and they've recently re-surfaced a few pitches. Given that we usually go during quiet times, this couple of quid gets you plenty of opportunity to strut your stuff until no-one can continue to jog without collapsing.
As those who've been before will attest to, it's a friendly, light hearted knock around and usually provides plenty of entertainment with a whole range of ages, "fitness" levels and qualities (believe it or not, some of you aren't actually better than [INSERT CURRENT SCAPEGOAT HERE]
). Everyone is welcome providing you come with the intentions of having a laugh and not taking yourself too seriously! 
You can even bring a mate along to hold your hand.
So, who is in for the first Sunday of the year? Sunday 6th January at 10.30am
