Please don't confirm until you see your name in the 1-to-12 list. If your name is not on the list post 'available' and then if/when a place opens up your name will go on to the list and you will be prompted to 'confirm'.

That way I know that you know we're expecting you to be there and it takes the guesswork out of it for me.

Southside Thursday

Wheres the Poll?

GavRedKing

Give it time, once you submit the thread you've to submit the poll....should be up now :pac:

Ardennes1944

Southside Thursday

I gave you like 5 f5s dude....i need German efficiency!

gimmick

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I can do Thursday in either. Convenience would be Northside as the all weathers are about 1.5km from home.

Not being a diva here, but any later than 8 and I am out btw! 6.30 or 7.30 be the job.

pabloazazel

are the pitches very far from the city centre?

I think its Bishopstown and Churchfield. Unless there are more I don't know of.

Jeju

I might make the odd Monday/Thursday depending.
Early Monday evening 5.30 - 6 would be great or late Thursdays.

Loads of option for astro pitches.

Bishopstown - Leisureworld
Ballincollig - Supernova
Churchfield - Leisureworld
Douglas - Astro Leagues, off the link on the Douglas exit on your immediate left
Glanmire - SARS GAA
Glen - Glen Centre

D'Agger

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I wouldn't classify myself as being good but I play GAA so 'solid' seems like an apt term to use.

If you're stuck for numbers I can try make myself available but I've training Monday & Wednesday so Thurs would suit best.

Also, despite working across from Supernova I'm going to put it out there that Bishopstown is the best craic for games - sizes of goals & pitches are spot on for 5-a-side.

GavRedKing

Southside on Thursday winning at the moment.

Karl Stein

Southside Thursday

Thursday would be better than Monday because if it became a regular thing you don't miss all the bank holidays.

vlopes

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I prefer on Thursday because I might be away on the Monday
I live in Bishoptown so ideally prefer around my area too

Northside Thursday

Anyone want to price Bishopstown for a Thurs evening/night?? So we can get the ball rolling?

GavRedKing

http://bishopstown.leisureworldcork.com/index.cfm/page/pitches

LeisureWorld Bishopstown have 4 all weather 7-a-side soccer pitches with flood lighting, changing / shower facilities, secure locker rooms and lots of free parking.

The astro turf pitches in Cork can be used by players of all ages and can cater for the likes of sports clubs, company teams and local groups.

Adults €66 (after 4pm Monday to Thursday)

crustyjuggler

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

There's also astro pitches in Highfield and St Finbarrs GAA and Nemo for cheaper .

gimmick

Lesiureworld have the best pitches, but €66 is a joke given the state of the nest etc. I hark to the days when it was €40 at peak times.

GavRedKing

I've a tendency to wear boots on astros, well moulded studs as I gave up on buying astro/indoor runners as they werent as long as boots, and in that regard the bishopstown pitchs are poor, the newer astros around the place are better for that type of footwear and allow more of the stud into the astro.

Just a little pet hate of mine, oh and I know the majority of the places say dont wear moulded studs, thats more to do with you injuring someone then the surfaces able to handle it.

Re the price, it is a joke really.

If it was in Bishopstown ideally youd want 6 really.

A) the pitches are to big, IMO, for 5 v 5
the price

If we got 12 we could charge 6e each and build up a kitty for balls, bibs and the odd free game once the pot went up if it was played reguarly.

pabloazazel

what do you think about these pitches??

http://www.sportsmanager.ie/cake/gaa2/glencentre/contentPage/77873

I have played several times and they are pretty well

GavRedKing

Ya they're good pitches but the winning the voting is Southside on a Thursday at the moment.

I don't mind people wearing boots on astros until you get an unintentional follow through or high boot - so I guess it would have to be universal with everybody playing that they're okay to wear.....that way if you do get a nick it's your own fault :pac:

Also - I've an orange nike PL ball which I rarely use and would be willing to donate to avoid costs. After that I don't think bibs would work out too expensive and you can just organize reds vs. blues until then I guess?

I've a brand new Nike ball somewhere too and I rarely raise my boot and never dive in, unless ya want a skin graft afterwards. :pac:

This is a pet hate of mine. Even if you don't have a tendancy to dive in there will still be occasions when you will injure someone where you otherwise would not have.

GavRedKing

6 years of wearing them on different astros and I've never made contact with anyone, let alone injure them, only person I've injured is me, kicking my own heel opened up a tiny cut while trying do a stupid Neymar-esque flick.

If it was Bishopstown I wouldnt wear boots anyway, pitches arent good enough for them.

I'd also recommend the Highfield one. I use it regularly and it's cheaper(€50) and better quality than Bishopstown.

GavRedKing

Highfields pitch is out the Model Farm road isnt it?

Yep turn left at "The Rendevous"

GavRedKing

Could be a bit far out for people though but the 50Euro is a lot better then the 66Euro at the further out Bishopstown.

Sure in terms of proximity to the city centre where would be closer on the southside? Nemo would be similar distance I reckon.....

GavRedKing

I'm npt pushed where it is really, I'll be coming from Mahon so I'll have to get on the Link to get to nearly all the pitches other then Douglas ones.

gimmick

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

Just remember as well gents that most of these places have block bookings - so just because we decide on Thuesday 6.30 @ Leisureworld (for eg), does not mean that is what we will get.

TBH, at this stage, I think Gav should take an executive decision. As if we keep only talking about it here, it just will go on forever and nothing will happen.

As hard/impossible as that is to believe one can only take your word for it.

I'm technical proficient and my style is not aggressive yet there have been times when I've lost out in 50/50's, 60/40's etc. and caught my opponent with the sole of my astroturf runner.

Very possible, even when playing with my friends I wont go in for a challenge with anything other then the side of my foot, so on strangers it would be even more timid, couple that with the fact that I know I'm wearing boots means I never throw in tackles, only block shots.

Now on a pitch, 11 a side, not a chance, full contact.

Southside Monday

All this talk of studs and flying scholes type tackles Its just a kickabout for the laugh no?

I agree about the executive decision, Highfield sounds good, decent pitch, decent price. Sorted.

Pressure's on now Gav kiiiiid :pac:

GavRedKing

I done all the fancy polls and things, cant I be exempt from setting the actual game up? :pac:

Ok so, lets say Highfield, on a Thursday, now, does anyone have a time preference?

I assume 7pm would suit most, its not to early and not to late.

gimmick

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I am good with that time and venue anyway.

I can play next Thursday, but gladly am away for 2 weeks after that. Will be good to go thereafter again.

You been doing a great job so far Gav. I would hate to usurp you and take all the glory.

Good day.

D'Agger

I dont mind where or when, I'll play.

I can play next Thursday if you need numbers

Block (8

I think I'll be available for next Thurs as well never been to Highfield but I'm sure I'll find it.

Can anyone recommend some trainers for astro or any sort will do?

Another thing will it be wise for people to bring two different coloured tops?
I'm not sure about everyone else but I have a bad memory recognising my own team when playing with people I never met before

I've been known to tackle my own players before and it has been embarassing!

GavRedKing

I suppose if we can get 10/12 yes then we can try book it for 7 next week.

10 ppl makes it 5euro
12 ppl makes it 4.25euro

Ideally it would be a Boards.ie game and first preference will be given to Boards members but if youve friends who want to tag long and make up numbers then by all accounts invite them.

Also women are welcome for any women out there that want to take part, its all a bit of fun for an hour after all.

Gav, maybe you should post in the original thread(s) aswell as sometimes new or infrequent users won't see this thread, from what I can remember there are over 20 who expressed an interest.

D'Agger

You not making it Gav? I'll be disappointed if you're not playing in a full kit tbh!

GavRedKing

I am, just put my name down as GRK.
