    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.

    Anybody who missed the Monday night football due to the bank holiday

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Pasc


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 309 ✭✭Manny7


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 258 ✭✭Mullie


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 253 ✭✭birdwatcher


    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:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 63 ✭✭Suder

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 448 ✭✭Marcais

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,716 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


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

    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......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 253 ✭✭birdwatcher


    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

    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!

    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)
    O.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 253 ✭✭birdwatcher


    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 448 ✭✭Marcais


    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,

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,716 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    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.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 253 ✭✭birdwatcher


    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
