Please don't confirm until you see your name in the 1-to-12 list. If your name is not on the list post 'available' and then if/when a place opens up your name will go on to the list and you will be prompted to 'confirm'.

That way I know that you know we're expecting you to be there and it takes the guesswork out of it for me.

I gave you like 5 f5s dude....i need German efficiency!

gimmick · 23-05-2013 3:30pm

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I can do Thursday in either. Convenience would be Northside as the all weathers are about 1.5km from home.

Not being a diva here, but any later than 8 and I am out btw! 6.30 or 7.30 be the job.

pabloazazel · 23-05-2013 8:35pm

are the pitches very far from the city centre?

I think its Bishopstown and Churchfield. Unless there are more I don't know of.

Jeju · 24-05-2013 10:36am

I might make the odd Monday/Thursday depending.
Early Monday evening 5.30 - 6 would be great or late Thursdays.

Loads of option for astro pitches.

Bishopstown - Leisureworld
Ballincollig - Supernova
Churchfield - Leisureworld
Douglas - Astro Leagues, off the link on the Douglas exit on your immediate left
Glanmire - SARS GAA
Glen - Glen Centre

I wouldn't classify myself as being good but I play GAA so 'solid' seems like an apt term to use.

If you're stuck for numbers I can try make myself available but I've training Monday & Wednesday so Thurs would suit best.

Also, despite working across from Supernova I'm going to put it out there that Bishopstown is the best craic for games - sizes of goals & pitches are spot on for 5-a-side.

GavRedKing · 27-05-2013 2:15pm

Southside on Thursday winning at the moment.

Karl Stein · 27-05-2013 2:36pm

Southside Thursday

Thursday would be better than Monday because if it became a regular thing you don't miss all the bank holidays.

vlopes · 27-05-2013 8:42pm

I prefer on Thursday because I might be away on the Monday

I live in Bishoptown so ideally prefer around my area too

Northside Thursday

Anyone want to price Bishopstown for a Thurs evening/night?? So we can get the ball rolling?

GavRedKing · 28-05-2013 9:09am

LeisureWorld Bishopstown have 4 all weather 7-a-side soccer pitches with flood lighting, changing / shower facilities, secure locker rooms and lots of free parking.

The astro turf pitches in Cork can be used by players of all ages and can cater for the likes of sports clubs, company teams and local groups.

Adults €66 (after 4pm Monday to Thursday)

crustyjuggler · 28-05-2013 2:19pm

There's also astro pitches in Highfield and St Finbarrs GAA and Nemo for cheaper .

gimmick · 28-05-2013 3:38pm

Lesiureworld have the best pitches, but €66 is a joke given the state of the nest etc. I hark to the days when it was €40 at peak times.

GavRedKing · 28-05-2013 3:44pm

I've a tendency to wear boots on astros, well moulded studs as I gave up on buying astro/indoor runners as they werent as long as boots, and in that regard the bishopstown pitchs are poor, the newer astros around the place are better for that type of footwear and allow more of the stud into the astro.

Just a little pet hate of mine, oh and I know the majority of the places say dont wear moulded studs, thats more to do with you injuring someone then the surfaces able to handle it.

Re the price, it is a joke really.

If it was in Bishopstown ideally youd want 6 really.

A) the pitches are to big, IMO, for 5 v 5

the price

If we got 12 we could charge 6e each and build up a kitty for balls, bibs and the odd free game once the pot went up if it was played reguarly.

pabloazazel · 28-05-2013 5:11pm

what do you think about these pitches??

http://www.sportsmanager.ie/cake/gaa2/glencentre/contentPage/77873

I have played several times and they are pretty well

GavRedKing · 28-05-2013 5:13pm

Ya they're good pitches but the winning the voting is Southside on a Thursday at the moment.

I don't mind people wearing boots on astros until you get an unintentional follow through or high boot - so I guess it would have to be universal with everybody playing that they're okay to wear.....that way if you do get a nick it's your own fault :pac:

Also - I've an orange nike PL ball which I rarely use and would be willing to donate to avoid costs. After that I don't think bibs would work out too expensive and you can just organize reds vs. blues until then I guess?

I've a brand new Nike ball somewhere too and I rarely raise my boot and never dive in, unless ya want a skin graft afterwards. :pac:

This is a pet hate of mine. Even if you don't have a tendancy to dive in there will still be occasions when you will injure someone where you otherwise would not have.

GavRedKing · 29-05-2013 11:46am

6 years of wearing them on different astros and I've never made contact with anyone, let alone injure them, only person I've injured is me, kicking my own heel opened up a tiny cut while trying do a stupid Neymar-esque flick.

If it was Bishopstown I wouldnt wear boots anyway, pitches arent good enough for them.

I'd also recommend the Highfield one. I use it regularly and it's cheaper(€50) and better quality than Bishopstown.

GavRedKing · 29-05-2013 1:21pm

Highfields pitch is out the Model Farm road isnt it?

Yep turn left at "The Rendevous"

GavRedKing · 29-05-2013 2:03pm

Could be a bit far out for people though but the 50Euro is a lot better then the 66Euro at the further out Bishopstown.

Sure in terms of proximity to the city centre where would be closer on the southside? Nemo would be similar distance I reckon.....

GavRedKing · 29-05-2013 2:10pm

I'm npt pushed where it is really, I'll be coming from Mahon so I'll have to get on the Link to get to nearly all the pitches other then Douglas ones.
