Playing at the Lane

[Weatewed]

Fancy playing in a charity match at the home of our heroes? Here's your chance and it's for a good cause too! This is all for the benefit a dear friend of mine and he's a blade of course! He needs life saving treatment that the NHS will not provide. Please help out if you can lads and lasses.

Best 100quid I've spent this year. Great cause and I'll still be better than Hammond!

David Holdsworth is giving up his time and will be Home team captain by the way!

I wouldn't brag about that , so my 3 year old.

 

[Darlington82]

Yep and I'm utter rubbish.

 

[blackydog]

Gone for it. Can't walk after today's kick about at goals but will do all i can to be fit. Won't get many chances like this. Hope Mark gets his chance.
Come on blades you know you want to.

 

[blackydog]

Hope y'all don't mind me giving this good cause a bump.

I'm in, can I play Center Half

 

[Pinchy]

Yep and I'm utter rubbish.

Yeah, so am I, but I played there loads of times and no-one noticed.

 

[jamie_blade]

Which side have you all gone for, home or away?

 

[blackydog]

If you click the link then tickets, it shows 9 remaining for home and all 16 remaining for away. That's why I bumped it to bring it back into spotlight and hopefully more will join up.
For the record I have not played for years, my football extends to working with local U10s. I am working on my fitness though, don't want to show myself up too much. I will likely be the oldest on the day.

 

[SRBlade]

Home for me, I'm thankful the season finishes a good month before the game so I have time to recover from all these celebratory drinks!

 

[blackydog]

You certainly can for me. I hope they don't ask me to play in defense, we'll be 3 down in 5 minutes.

 

[Darlington82]

Home team sold out. Away team places left. Even worse players than me please. Just played 5 a side for first time in 20 years to get my eye in. Enjoyed it and did not pull anything unlike the last time. To be honest I'm fitter now though.

How long is the match? Can you bring subs on? I doubt most people on here would be good for more than 15 minutes.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

My company are sponsoring the match/kits etc and couple of us shall be taking part.

For a good cause!

 

[blackydog]

Got a mail yesterday saying only a few away team places left. A last chance to join in Blades!!

I'm pretty sure the original appeal said 90 minutes match, but there would be 16 to a team as there would be some not able to manage a full 90 mins. I will be doing the same training as i did for last years Sheffield 10k so would expect to be able to do 60 mins ish barring injury.
I am 54 but reasonably fit and only trained an U10s side recently as far as football is concerned. I did play at goals a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't done any prep coming out of winter and got shin splints, seems to have recovered now though.

Arrrrrgh

I'm not here that weekend. Was going to suggest the Mrs get it for me as a birthday present.

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

I'd definitely be interested but I won't know until after the closing date if i'm free because I work shifts.

If I wanted to join after the closing date & there were still places would it be possible?

 

[blackydog]

I have added this link to Sheffield Forum football section, hope that is ok.

home mate.

 

[norfolkblade]

Are there many places still available for this? Gladly give you 90 minutes of my time between the sticks

Slipped into 2nd gear today with the training. Flat 5km at Rother Valley, reasonable 28 mins for first one of this year, but more importantly no injuries.
Be interested to know what you others are up to and your fitness levels??

Haven't played for 3 years, fitness level average. What's the ages of people playing?

Unbelievably unfit, trying to get upto scratch before the game however.
