In an attempt to get more people involved, I've moved this to General Blades Chat and stickied it.
It might be useful to include more information to encourage people along too
FAQs:
Where do you play?
Goals, Norfolk Park Road, Sheffield. See
HERE
What time?
They aim to start at 10:30 every Sunday morning. Unless there's a tournament on, the staff tend to leave them to it meaning they usually play until 12:30.
How many people can play?
We need at least 8 people to be confirmed for it to go ahead. The pitches can accommodate up to 12 people. Odd numbers are fine.
How do I know if it's going ahead?
You're best checking the forum last thing on Saturday night or Sunday morning. If there's at least 8 people confirmed, then it will be going ahead.
If there are fewer than 8 people, then the game can't go ahead. Look out for the thread containing the link for the following Sunday.
How much does it cost?
The price of the pitch is shared between everyone who plays. It's usually between £3-£4.
Do I need studs?
No! Definitely not. The pitches are rubber crumb so wearing studs would be downright dangerous.
Astro-turf boots are best or trainers are fine if you haven't got any.
Do I need anything else?
Nope. Wear shin-pads if you feel more comfortable in them. You don't need to wear any particular kit.
I'm really old/fat/unfit and I'll make an arse of myself...
Join the club!
Forum Football was started a couple of years ago as a way to keep in touch during the close season. It isn't taken too seriously, there isn't a league and scores aren't recorded. It's just a kick around of a Sunday morning.
