12-10-2009 8:34am#1Hi Guys,
Another boards member and myself were wondering if there would be anyone around at the weekends who would like to play a game for fun. We're thinking one of the courts on the northside (I hear there's an outdoor court in Fairview and there's also two at St. Aidan's School on Collin's Avenue).
This isn't with a view to set up a team or anything so if you haven't played in ages but would like a game or you just want to get fit you're welcome to come.
Also, guys and girls welcome!!
I guess it all depends on weather but if anyone is interested they can give me a pm and maybe we can sort something.0

I'd be up for it, but its coming into winter and playing outside will probably not be for everyone.
Don't know what condition the courts are in fairview, its been a long time since i've been there.
If there was enough of us I could price the hall in DCU or if anyone had any other suggestions, I can look into them! 0 -

I wouldn’t mind playing 4 on 4 or 3 on 3 if not enough people are interested
me neither and that would be fine for outdoor...
I think if I was to try indoor I would need guarantees of certain numbers so we wouldn't be paying a load of money for the use of an indoor court...
Also the courts in St. Aidan's are decent if that was the way we went with it.
So I guess if People are interested they can pm or simply post interested in this thread and I could get a rough idea of numbers and then come back to everyone with quotes.
What do you guys think?0 -

Bugs, I think we're going to go with an indoor court in DCU, would this be better for you?ya might be able to get a few to go..
Cool, Nialo, would you be able to get back to me today or tomorrow with definite numbers and then I'll go ahead with the booking.scottie pippen wrote: »saturday sounds best. might be able to get one person to go.
So Saturday's the day (unless any objections)!
What time would you guys reckon? (so much tougher now that there's so much time free!) Afternoon, so we can get out lie-ins?
I guess the main thing is that I need you guys to definitely be able to make it... so I would be footing the cost for the hall or anything... If you can get back to me either today or tomorrow then I can book the court and we're good to go on Saturday! 0 -

If there’s a lot of interest in this maybe we could make it a regular thing?
Ps. shivvy, I finally got some tracksuit bottoms.:D
I think the 17a goes from Coolock to Ballymun (http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/17a/ ) so that would be ideal for you! (Nice one with the tracksuit bottoms... I've got to wait until payday..damn poverty and monthly pay!)
Regular thing? Of course! I can book it every week because when I was speaking with DCU they said that its usually pretty empty on the weekends!
So will I say 12 o' clock for it? I can provisionally book it now if this time suits... 0 -

12 is good for me
poverty....Im on the breadline! trackies were only €6. Wasted my money on Jordan shorts & a new ball. that’s way I’m still sending web texts.
Posted this on another forum, so hopefully we will get a a good number of people0 -
I would say for a good game we need about 8 people... if we can egt 8 DEFINITE people for a time over the weekend, I'll book... Six would be ok too but might be a bit hard going for a full court game.
Just quote this in/out list for me with your name included...
Shivvyban - IN - for anytime over the weekend
Nialo -
Scottie Pippen -
Bugs -
PiecesofEight -
And maybe include if you have people you can definitely bring! Sorry about this guys, just want to make sure we can get a good game and not pay too much for it.

Is this for next Sat/Sun the 17th/18th? I'd love to play a bit, especially somewhere on the northside. Count me in for either Sat or Sun, after 12 is good for me.Shivvyban - IN - for anytime over the weekend
Nialo - Sunday
Scottie Pippen -All day Saturday
Bugs - Saturday and late sunday
PiecesofEight - Saturday evening & Sunday Morning
lafortezza - Saturday or Sunday, after midday
Any word from friends who'd be interested? This week is looking like a sunday (feedback?)... Either way when we do meet up we can organise something more concrete for future weeks...
I'm hoping the standard won't be too good btw
I played in college so I'm not terrible, but the fitness at the moment is ridiculously bad.0 -

Hey,
I'm going to be away for the next few weekends unfortunately, but if this is still going in November I'd be keen on joining up for a game or two. It's easy enough for me to get to either Collins Ave. or Fairview, and I'm happy indoors or out.
I realise this isn't much use to you at the moment, but it's one more body for future lists.

Thanks Leto! It definitely is of use! Now at least I know people are looking for something ongoing and maybe this weekend I can work out something with the DCU sports complex.lafortezza wrote: »Is this for next Sat/Sun the 17th/18th?

Trust me lafortezza, I'm crap so you'll be running rings around me! I'm in it for the fitness as well so I know how you feel on that one!
Looks like we got us a game and I'm so happy you guys are looking for something continuous!
Its looking like the majority are for Sunday... Scottie is there anyway you could make it in the evening of the Sunday, possibly 5 or 6?
It looks like we're getting a good number. Will double check availability for Sunday!0
