scottie pippen · 13-10-2009 1:43pm

Was able to change my plans to suit

I can Play all Saturday
and Late Sunday, so 4ish sounds good

but need to get a solid time so I rearrange my other plans.

Cheers
Scottie

shivvyban · 13-10-2009 1:51pm

shivvyban · 14-10-2009 10:24am

Fingers crossed! It shouldn't be more... Anyone a member of the sportslink in Santry by any chance? They're definitely available!

Wow, who knew this would be so hard!

You would have to be a member to book the sportshall. The cost per hour is €40 and Sunday is usually fairly good for availability. The member prices are on the website www.sportslink.ie

Alternatively, scottie, we could ask at that hall that we play in tonight, what you reckon?

scottie pippen · 14-10-2009 10:33am

Maybe not, I think it’s a youth club on sat, and dosent open on sunday.
If all else fails I’m still up for Fairview park out door.

Did you try the Glin sports hall in coolock?

ps. Shivvy I won’t be going to night, sent ya a text.

shivvyban · 14-10-2009 10:47am

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Where is that in Coolock? Would you be able to give them a call for me to see if they're available at 6 on Sunday?

P.S: Will text ya back in a sec!

shivvyban · 14-10-2009 12:25pm

Ok I got in touch with sportsco and heres the situation!

I have provisionally booked for Sunday at 6 (its near shelbourne greyhound track)...

If its a once off it will cost €75 or if we block book it will €60 per week...

My question is will I block book for 4 weeks? Would this location be ok for people? As centres go it seems very professional and has a good reputation so I think it would be best if we did block book.

I just need a guarantee that people will show up on Sunday. I'm going to try to work out something with them where we can pay weekly with our block booking or if people could have the money this weekend it would be brilliant! for 4 weeks we'd be looking at €240 which if we have ten people that works out at only €24 pp for the month....

Alternatively if we go for the one off booking and we get at least ten people it'll be €7.5 pp and then I can work on a different location

What do you guys think? I'd like to get this sorted today!

G86 · 14-10-2009 1:54pm

I'd be interested for sure, but I haven't played basketball since I was 15.....!!:o

PM me if you're up for it and I'll give you my number!

scottie pippen · 14-10-2009 2:50pm

Im still in, if its handy to get there?

shivvyban · 14-10-2009 3:19pm

I could meet you in the city centre and we can make our way from there.

By the by, anyone not sure how to find it or wants tot meet up to go there pm me and I'll pass along my number.

Looks like we got it sorted!

JessieJames · 14-10-2009 3:21pm

JessieJames · 14-10-2009 3:33pm

nialo · 14-10-2009 4:18pm

scottie pippen · 14-10-2009 4:23pm

Shivvyban + 2
Scottie Pippen + 1
Nialo + 2 (maybe more)
JessieJames - are you bringing anyone? not sure if Shivvyban booked it as a block yet

who else?

nialo · 14-10-2009 4:26pm

its not block booked.

shivvyban · 14-10-2009 4:30pm

Not block booked but bring about €10 in case of no shows!

If we get a decent crowd then we can decide if we'll make it weekly and if we want to keep it in sportsco!

Can't wait for sunday now!!
