the urban75 football club 2008: worth a shot?

[Rollem]

right then you 'orrible lot

soon the fairer weather will be upon us, i going on past history, i reckon if we start discussing now the possibilty of getting a gang of 7 (or more) together on a regualr basis, we should be able to get a group together to actually play by the end of may

so, is anyone interested in getting together some sort of team anymore? do people think we can guarantee to get the required numbers on a regular basis without too much stress and hassle? or is it time to accept defeat, and let this thread vanish into the realms of past victories?

i dont mind being the one to badger, nag and email people to make sure they turn up, but i dont want to waste my time and effort if peopel really aren't intersted.

over to the boys in red(and white)....

 

[Madusa]

Can I watch?!

 

[Rollem]

yeah, but the priority at the moment is to get a bloody team! you dont wanna play then?

 

[g force]

I need to get fit first but i'll happily be a squad member just not good enough right now for the first team

Any ideas on whereabouts for practice (live S. London work in the City)

 

[Madusa]

yeah, but the priority at the moment is to get a bloody team! you dont wanna play then?

nah.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'd be lazily up for it (ie. wouldn't want to travel anywhere far). Brockwell Park suits me best.

 

[Kizmet]

I'll be up for it.

 

[Epico]

Argh, I'd be so tempted.
But I think I live too far out to take part on a regular basis (Guildford/Woking).

edit- that, and i'm shit

 

[onenameshelley]

Have had text confirmation that the cabbage would defo be up for this too

 

[ChrisFilter]

edit- that, and i'm shit

Trust me, that's pretty much a pre-requisite.

i am guessing that it would all happen around south or central london as they tend to be the easiest places for people to get to. we'd sort out location etc once we have enough vices in the mix....before the team ahs played in brockwell park and regents park, fairly regulalry

all depends on final numbers, but we could look into entering a league again (tho would only be prepared to do this on the guarantee of requierd numbers each week, else people end up out of pocket!)

 

[sleaterkinney]

I have to start playing again at work so I would be up for it.

 

[Termite Man]

Trust me, that's pretty much a pre-requisite.

If you can kick a ball into an open goal then your good enough for the team !

 

[Termite Man]

I did mention joining a league on the main sticky thread but that idea didn't seem to popular . I'm happy whether it's a league or just a regular kick about !

 

[christonabike]

If it's in Brixton and not a Monday (when I play) I'd be up for it

I run a seven a side team and have 21 phone numbers of players in my phone, how many players were there last night:

6, and no keeper, we lost 8-2

It can be a right cunt organising stuff like this, you ring everyone in the week and then on Monday morning, or even on the way home from work, folks drop out for whatever reason

It is fun though and I can pick who I like, being the boss, haha

sounds familiar....

 

[Termite Man]

6 is quite a good turnout

edit - although I don't think we ever lost 8-2

 

[christonabike]

It's a new season every ten weeks and we get so excited at the prospect of getting promotion from League 4, the bottom league

Then it goes tits up

Everytime

I have started smoking neat weed reefers before games again as it makes fuck all difference

We've done worse than that, I'm sure.

Well that counts both of us out then...

 

[ivebeenhigh]

i am well up for it, already playing twice a week on a monday and wednesday. brockwell is perfect for me. there are a good few from the two games that i play that would be up for it too.

last night we had 6 people turn up for our 5 aside as well. it was knackering.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I wouldn't be interested in a league, or 5-a-side pitches. A kickabout in the park that ends 37-33 is my kinda game. Wild attempts at overhead kicks ahoy!

 

[christonabike]

One sub, and you were still knackered, or 6 out of 10 turned up?

 

[ivebeenhigh]

6 out of 12 so three aside, no sub, rush goalie and exhaustion to the point where i couldnt even face a pint afterward.

 

[Rollem]

ok, so far then we have the following defiates:
Kizmet
Termite Man
sleaterkinney
ivebeenhigh

an the following yes's on condition:
g force - fitness
ChrisFilter - laziness/location
christonabike - loaction

and one seriously tempted but logistics might mean a no
epico

my boss reckons he could get a gang together for us to play if in central lcoation (i.e. maybe regents park)....

 

[ChrisFilter]

I'll put my name down as a definite if it's Brockwell and a definitely not if it's elsewhere.

 

[g force]

I;ll definitely play just saying i'll be shite cos of fitness but if we're not in a league who cares

 

[twister]

I'll put my name down as a definite if it's Brockwell and a definitely not if it's elsewhere.

you lazy sh1te.

but yeah, I'm up for it and also more likely if it's south of the river.

Brockwell Park, Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Ruskin Park...
