Thursday Night 5-a-side

birdwatcher · 24-10-2006 10:44am #1

Lads
If there's anyone interested in playing five a side on Thursday nights up on the Astro Turf pitches (8pm), can you please post here.
We need a minimum of ten to get this off the ground, and a max of 14. The Monday night game's been a great success to date, but last Thursdays game was a bit of a wash out.
If we get the names together here by Thursday afternoon, we can get this moving. Also, please bring 65 notes with you to stump up for 10 weeks in advance.
Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday
Owen

As per Birdwatcher's request, we're keeping this thread open & on it's own for the time being as the other one is pretty big.

EMPM · 24-10-2006 11:40am

Hi guys, i will definitely be there on Thursday, is it on pitch 1

Charlie-Bravo · 24-10-2006 2:00pm

Hey guys,

I'll be up for a kickabout on Thursday too.

Ciarán.

Coolhand · 25-10-2006 8:42am

I'll play two once we can get at least 10 together.

EmmetD · 26-10-2006 2:34pm

I can't make tonight but if it's going to be a weekly thing, I'll be up for it.

EMPM · 26-10-2006 3:50pm

hi guys

is football going ahead tonight, do we have the numbers. there is no point in just 4 or 5 people turning up.

Charlie-Bravo · 26-10-2006 4:45pm

Myself and Owen will be there so hopefully people will show up for it.

EMPM · 26-10-2006 6:04pm

ill see you there

Charlie-Bravo · 31-10-2006 9:34am

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say we are still looking for people to play on the Thursday Night at 8pm.

Contact birdwatcher or myself if you have any queries.

Coolhand · 01-11-2006 3:18pm

i'd play if we could get a few. played on one or two thursday when we had to mix in with others as we had so little. surely we could get even 4 - 5 aside

Coolhand · 02-11-2006 11:03am

Is football going ahead tonight?

EMPM · 02-11-2006 1:02pm

i will be there tonight. Hopefully a good number of people turn up.
Anybody who missed the Monday night football due to the bank holiday
may turn up

Pasc · 02-11-2006 4:22pm

I'm planning on going to the football, if I can get back from work in time.

Manny7 · 02-11-2006 4:30pm

Can't make it tonight unfortunately. Are we back on Monday as usual?

Mullie · 02-11-2006 4:38pm

Would it be ok if I turned up for a game? Is it pay-as-you-go?

birdwatcher · 02-11-2006 5:45pm

Mullie,

See you up there tonight.
Bring as much cash as you want...it'll be pay as you play for the forseeable future on Thursday nights until we can get settled numbers together.

Later:)

Suder · 05-11-2006 8:32am

Ah yea Thursday night is a winner for me, couldnt do Monday so I didnt check back in. Do we need any more players? I could defo get one, possibly more. What pitch is it on?

Marcais · 06-11-2006 12:31am

Will try for Thursday, can we set a speed limit so I can keep up?

Charlie-Bravo · 06-11-2006 8:17am

Thursday night football with us is on pitch No. 1 at 8pm. There are a couple of places left - Ask for Owen or Ciarán.

Suder · 08-11-2006 7:43pm

Whats the craic for thursday, will i be surplus to requirements or do yis need any more? Would it be cheeky to ask how competitive it is in the hope that it is!
Dermot

Charlie-Bravo · 08-11-2006 8:30pm

Dermot, come along tomorrow night at 8pm. There should be a space for you.

Anyone else interested PM birdwatcher or me.

Thanks.

Suder,
The standard is almost primership.....this is not mis-spelt!

knockoutpunch · 10-11-2006 8:30pm

New in town, will try pop down some eve and introduce myself. See if I can get a game.

Coolhand · 30-11-2006 8:28am

Just wondering is there regular numbers for the thursday game now. i play on mondays and would play every second thursday or so if youse are short if i could just pay the fiver as i go.

birdwatcher · 30-11-2006 11:49am

Feel free to come up.
We normally have 10/11 on a thursday night, so there'll be a spot there for you.

Owen

Marcais · 07-12-2006 2:29pm

Did this go ahead last Thurs in the p!ssing rain and will it go ahead tonight if the same inclement conditions persist ?

The weather is not an excuse for cancelling the Thursday night run out....eh! unless it's "extremely unpleasant". This would mean a repeat of the conditions experienced on 30th November. (That was the REALLY wet one). Otherwise you can all assume that the game will take place as usual.:)

I was playing football down there that night....really didn't seem like it was a good idea. Oddly though, it was the most enjoyable game i have had down there! Had to hop into the shower when i got home to dry off......

birdwatcher · 21-12-2006 7:50am

Right Gents,
For some of us, this'll be the last outing before gorging on Turkey and sprouts for the festive period.
We were fairly short on numbers last week, so it'd be nice to see everyone turnout tonight for a final runaround.
Hope to see you all there
Owen

Charlie-Bravo · 04-01-2007 5:10pm

Lads, the first game for the new year is tonight at 8pm on Court No. 1.

If you haven't played before and would like a kickabout tonight please feel free to come along. Send me a PM if you would like a contact number.

Astro!

birdwatcher · 16-01-2007 8:17am

Gents
If you're interested in playing on Thursday nights at 8:00, please PM either myself or Ciaran (Astrofluff), or alternatively, post here. Similarly, if you've been playing up until now, we need to collect cash for the coming weeks this Thursday.
We need to get this game up and running for the new year, or it'll fade into obscurity(....a bit like Liverpools annual title challenge!!)
If we don't have the numbers this week, I'm afraid you'll all be consigned to spending Thursday nights wondering what might have been. Look forward to seeing you ALL there.

Please note that all returning players for the Monday night game will also need to tap the piggybank next week (22nd)

Coolhand · 18-01-2007 11:20am

How much is it. What was it last time 65, i think. Is it the same again.

birdwatcher · 19-01-2007 8:25am

Well thanks to the four bodies who showed up last night.....for the last time!

No cash = no more Thursday night footie.

Game over.:o

Marcais · 19-01-2007 9:57pm

Sorry mate, missed last night and it was only close to the time I realised I wouldn't make it. Was talking to a bloke tonight while I was out trying to save the harbour! who with a couple of mates will be up for Thursdays. ps. I think I'm squared up for a while but let me know on Thursday...if it is still on.

Lads,

new to the area and stumbled across this post....I know that it looks like the footie is dead, but just wondered if it was still going and if it is, if there are any places free? cheers.

cheers for that....if there is anyone interested in starting up keep me posted please? ta...

Charlie-Bravo · 25-01-2007 10:21pm

Kev, there's a notice board up in the Reception at the Pitches. you can pop your name up there and if people are looking for guys they can give you a call. The Monday night slot at 8pm on our pitch is full so we wouldn't be able to accommodate you. There's a pretty good buzz going on up there and it's certainly friendly so you shouldn't have any problems getting a game every week.

rosicky · 28-01-2007 8:08pm

Can I just show up on thursday with the cash to play. If so would be really interested in playing ordinary runners are acceptable for playing I presume

birdwatcher · 29-01-2007 8:01am

Marcais/Northern Kev

Sorry 'bout that Lads.
The turnout for Thursday nights was pretty abysmal. Three of the last four games were non events - we only had five players. To be fair, the game never really got off the ground. I realise that there are some who are eager to play, but when there are just five players, it destroyed it for everyone else.

I don't know if it was the weather/time of year or pure laziness, but the overall feeling was that there was really no point in continuing.

There may be a chance to revisit the idea at some time in the future, but for the moment, I think it's a dead duck!

Happy new year!
O.:o
