Madden Forum Beers

helimachoptor

Hi lads, as we had a bit of banter at the last beers I thought we'd see about running another one.
Probably in Mid-September so M13 has started.

Plenty of notice for the country lads etc :pac:

thoughts?

helimachoptor

Lads, anyone given anymore thought to this on possible dates?

Week 4. Sunday the 30th?

Berty44

Will you be able to book the stretch again Dave ?

I am up for this again but definitely not the 30th for me as thats the last day of the Ryder Cup.

I'm at a wedding that weekend in Italy and am just back on the Sunday afternoon, but I could make it at a push.

It would be nice to see the 49ers put some points on the jets assuming that's the game that sky would show at 6pm.

HeartOfTheCity

Yeah, any weekend apart from the Wembley game and I'll be able to show my face.

Any word on this for the beers/BFL AGM?

There will be no beer drunk that night, just a massive row about going for it on 4th down, conspiratous one sided trading and ibmaxing all the time. :pac:

HeartOfTheCity

Queue at the bar? Screw it, I'm QB sneaking.

14th of october? Gives people time in advance to organize time away from life distractions for a night of madden discussion plus NFl talk.

with adrian in the background telling me I was wrong about the 49ers and he had no doubts.... i do not look forward to a smug 49ers fan :pac:

davetherave

Just set a date and they will come. A month ago, Heli had said mid-Sept and nothing happen so go with that.

Agreed, real life has taken over so let this one drop off.

Lets say Friday October October 5th.

Feel free to suggest a venue!

im out of the 5th i'd say.. Also i think a sunday would be best imo

davetherave

A friday? Would a Sunday not be more suited?

Or does everybody want to watch the games on their own

Berty44

I much prefer a Friday, probably could not do a Sunday.

I'm happy to do a sunday, but people may prefer a friday.

Surely 6pm Sunday is the best idea?

helimachoptor

Some people have to work on Mondays

Ah, might be a bit early for that. Might wait till we come up against a good defense before getting too smug.

They have been looking good so far though.

Work on Monday is one thing as Heli says. Another thing is we probably will end up effectively not watching the games if its Sunday.

At the last meetup we spent the whole night having the crack talking madden and even though there was a good European Championship match on the tv we hardly even looked at it

We could do the following Friday as the Germany game is on?

Friday 12th that is!

Bumpty bump. There has to be more than six people wanting to go.

Right that's it, if you don't go to the beers you are getting booted out of the league

Danger_dave1

Looking like a friday alrite..

davetherave

I'd say go with the 12th. This Friday is too soon, considering it took us six weeks to agree on a date we'll never agree on a venue in four days

Danger_dave1

Ill make an announcement... most people voted for either 5th or 12. Give everyone 2 weeks notice to be able to get in for it...

Now what bar should we drink in ?

I personally rather something more central tbh. Stags head?

helimachoptor

Ok Stags Head it is unless someones barred

davetherave

Oh I see how this works......first you get the power, then you just make the decisions amongst yourselves. Moderator oppression!! Boo!!! :pac:

Can't say I've ever been to the Stags Head, had to look it up, so I presume I'm not barred

helimachoptor

I've only been in it a couple of times.

I've asked for suggestions of venues.. no ones volunteered any...:eek:

Notyalccc arrived then (dave correct me if im wrong)

Trying to think who else turned up!

adrian522

Berty44

I plan on being there before kickoff so around 7:30.

madalig12

Berty44

It is possible to talk about a computer game non stop for over 4 hours, although Jet Dave and Adrian did distract us for 10 minutes talking about Fantasy NFL !
