this also give us who we play if we win the next round and all provisional dates. would be nice to get a few more games, would be more benificial than training and with some friendlies, would tie us over nicely going into the new season.

If anybody has a bit of time, feel free to post more about the draw, as in the oppositions season, who/when we play again if we are to win this one etc....

Id say so. FrankGrimes may have the inside track on this crowd, didnt he used to work there?

thelepo

These lads are 5th in the league with 6 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses. We have about the same goal difference as them, so they must have suffered heavier defeats than us. Looks very possible that we could get something out of this.

I'll be going to London on the 8th, so I'm afraid this will be my first missed game of the season.

Lepo

homerjay2005

will try convince dan to be back for this one! im just back in time for it.

FrankGrimes

yeh, if I get a name of who is on their team I could look them up - there's 1500 people out here so would be hard to find them without a name.

That's a great attendance record by the way Lepo...pity you're missing this one cos you could've been our very own Stephen Kelly with a 100% record.

Fatmag

I should be at this, Dan said he'd be back for it too.
Worked in Microsoft a couple of years ago on contract and played them in a few 11 aside games. They had a few handy players back then but if we play the way we have the last few weeks we should be well able to match them.

Tusky

I should be available for this if needed. How were the numbers the last two weeks ? (Ive been away).

ok, i have a few mates that will help out. one of them was actually on his way out from town to the last cup game, but it was postponed, so he would eager to play in this.

Idu

I'm out of this one now. Thought I'd be able to make it but work are putting the squeeze on. Should all be sorted by the time the friendlies and whatever training we do rolls around. Pissed off to have missed the last few weeks

FrankGrimes

Looks like we need to reach out to friends and well wishers lads - last thing we want is for this storming cup run to come to an end cos we couldn't field a team...how ironic would that be?

dont worry jules, we will have 11, boards never have and never will concede a game! as art says, we have 2 to help us out and if we really need, we can get more. but we need to know asap!

i reckon even without more, we will have 12 or 13. we will be ok.

emc2

I know Carl said he'd be there tomorrow, I think gav has to work, and I think Simon said he'd be there.

can't remember who else said they'd be there after tuesdays match.

Gileadi

Yea, ill be there

FrankGrimes

I'm all for optimism Ed, and I may well be missing something, but even including 2 of your mates it looks to me like we only have 10 definites. We should be aiming for 12 at a minimum so need to confirm on Geoff, Cathal, Carl and then figure out if we need others.

I'm available now, just changed plans there a small bit.

I prefer right back but I'm fairly easy.

homerjay2005

ya we should be ok now...12 plus shay if he puts his blue light on and speeds through traffic and hopefully sav/kenny can make it.

lets get this season going into another week or 2. would be nice to say we did well in the cup.

Tusky

Is anyone gonna be driving back into town after the game ?
