??????? Griffo has asked this question about three times now and we still can't give the kid a defo answer? Have you got the terms and conditions yet Steve? Perhaps arranging the filming of the event should take a back seat until we have actually got something concrete that says this is going to happen? My offer still stands if you want some help - I know it looks like i'm knocking you a bit pal and i am sorry if I've offended you in anyway, or baj, but in all fairness the communication has been a little on the lacking side. There is a lot of interest in the event and we really do need to kick this on a bit.

Bully for you! Fine if you work and live in Southampton - some of work hours away and in industries that need to have notice for time off. Its also holiday season and will be season ticket renewal time. So for some of the people playing or wanting to play (not me) - they may need as much time as possible to pay the money. Hence the need to get it up and running...... thats my reasons for trying to stick the rocket up the preverbrial... I think it goes under the name of project management and its obviously not someones forte!

.... Are we forgetting the date? - DO WE HAVE A DATE? Sod the DVD extra... Lets just have the DATE? - You can open this up now Date, Circa £200/£100 - deposit cheques to... more info to follow..... Surely! By the time you post this we will have all booked our week at Butlins!

Up until the Preston game we had once at home all season.It was hard to believe that we were going to win 7 on the trot at home considering how things had been before. I think it was a positive point the other night. They were a big side that we struggled to break down. They are in good form themselves and as much as we had a chance to go 2 - nil up we could also have easily lost the game. So all in all we are three unbeaten and if we can win three of the next four at home and draw the other one we will be getting close. I'm pretty sure we will pick up more points on our travels as we have been v good away from home this season. If it was n't for our away form we would be dead and buried by now so come on lets take the positive out of Wednesday and make sure the unbeaten run at SMS contiues on Saturday! COYR

Pace scares people... but you are going to have to run mighty fast to get on the end of one of my hoof balls... **** the skill... the pitch has forgotton what that looks like! Transfer fee is acceptable as long as you keep your end of the bargain... RUN FOREST RUN!

How about every one puts their weight/age in and we try to even out the sides by weight and age - that way at least they would match up - I'm a tad under 19 stone/37 - so guess you can see why I would like to sit just in front of the back four!!!

On my team please and you can do the running - I'd probably be good sitting just in front of the back four!!! If you get my drift!

Fantastic!!!!LOL:D

Interesting then that Wildes programme notes for the Cardiff game says that they have had a number of very constructive meeting with the banks and other finacial backers in recent times - not the talk of a club going into admin? Still think it is a way off personally - maybe with relegation; but are we really that asset bare? The thing is not sure we ever know the whole picture - rumour after rumour! Lets just concentrate on the football side of things!

Good idea and agree but I think tis is what football aid is about - Not sure totally treading on their toes is the thing to do!

I'm not moaning - I have offered to help if Baj and Stevie are busy or up against it. The club as, we all know is a complete shambles from top to bottom - so just sending emails in to the girl who is organising is n't going to meet a swift response. Our situation is no different to anyother potential client. the complexity here is its not like an established team or one company paying for the event -you have 30 - 40 individuals that need to be organised into two sides - monies collected, and a date. Football aid take months to organise there match we are going to do it in 8 weeks or so. The advert says T&cs apply so they should be readily available. As i have said I AM NOt MOANING, I have offered to help in any way possible and am 100% committed and enthusiastic to make this event go ahead. If the world was left to email nothing would ever get done. This can't be done on a consesnsu as to what date people would like. The guys who are going to organise this need to say we are going to do it this date and time and thats that or else we will be **** arsing about forever. If you want to play badly enough you will be there if not - maybe next time. BUT DON'T TAKE LIGHT HEARTED POST, ENTHUSIASM and A LITTLE BIT OF BANTER AS MOANING....

Its not your bum that my boot is aimed at - I'll save that for the game - one of the only skills I have. Its the club. THe way i see it its the 11th of march. ~The original post was on the 6th. The game has to be played between the 1st and the 17th. The advert states that T&Cs apply so i take it the club would have these ready before placing the advert so they can send them out when the enquiry comes in. there is a lot of interest and people are keen to play and i don't mean to cause offence but holidays are coming up and for some it may take a little while to get the cash together considering the current financial situation. May is also holiday time and the quicker a date is set you will know your more exact numbers. Regardless the T&Cs the date can be fixed - i am keen to help in anyway possible but can't see it takes 1 week to get the t&C's out and to give you a price on the kit.

You must have a date in mind though? and surely we cant then get an idea of final numbers? Are the club mucking you about then?

Not sure if any one has given any thought to ladies playing as well - (had to give up two tickets to Oval for the final ashes test in 2005 because some female friend decided to get married that day (they liked cricket as well can you believe!) -The marriage lasted two years - the memories my mate had (beneficary of the tickets FOC) of the final day..... Priceless!!! - thats why all weddings should be banned as it won't fook up the sporting calander!LIve in sin and shake hands with the devil!!!...... anyway need some thought on ladies playing - the shirts as I said earlier can be sorted out later. Date and numbers first - sort out the sides, get the balance right and then kits and stuff like that.

Thought about this on the way home - probably some new government driven road traffic offence(thinking whilst driving). Has Baj and Stevegrant (are they the organisers?? happy to help by the way if I can) thought about the dreaded (arthur daily) VAT - That adds £600 if the cost is £4000 to hire the pitch? Can we have some more regular updates from you guys and WE NEED A PROPOSED DATE ASAP -

The game that sent us down was villa at home - two nil up - lost three two. We got a point last night and in fairness could have lost when davies hit the post (not sure how that did n't go in) So don't necessarily think this is the worst result ever. We have four games at home left and need to win three - and of them plus pick up one win away and a couple of draws. Don't get too down about last night!

Being that the main aim here is actually about playing on the hallowed turf and not necessarily on the game - could we modify the stucture of football aid slightly - maybe have 18 man squads with two of the ninety minute position reduced to 80 mins to allow two cameo appearances maybe for older or more infirm players? This would help to accomodate 36 forum members which would be near the number who have expressed an interest. Also we could have a couple of reserves just in case we have a drop out or two.

Ok - so forty plus interested potentially - but as with everything some will drop out as there is no date - some woman is bound to want to get married on match day and **** it up for some poor bastard - and guessing that we are not all - quite match fit would suggest some one might do a beasant and drop a jar of pickeled eggs on there foot. So forty plus interested but no date - the key here is the date lets get that sorted. Evening would be better so that those who work do not have to take time off. So Baj - steveGrant have we got a date? or are we waiting for the "club to get back to us" kick it on boys!!! The title of the next thread is "we are having a game at SMS on....... at .........o'clock - who would like to play!!! .... then we take deposits - and it easy home from there!!!! Don't get hung up on the detail to start with -lets get it booked and underway!

We had our umbrella confiscated when we went there - but then again Derby is a **** hole where it rains all the time so it was probably better they had it as they would get better use out of it!

As a help do we know how many people are interested - can we at least have a date or possible dates and then we can hammer out the finer details as we go along. Then maybe we could pay deposits to book places - and maybe sort out the second game from there if there is enough interest or maybe offer another forum team to play another team if there isn't quite enough for two games between ourselves. I don't think the kit issue is massive - if you are paying £125-150 quid to play then you will pay the extra ten to twenty quid for the match worn souvenier shirt.... come on lets get this rolling the original post was on the 6th and we are a week down the line. Crack on boys - i'll bring the oranges!!!

That's the three queens!

agreed

Think you will find from Steves post that he is waiting for the club to "get back to him" - surely they should have had there prices sorted out on a : Bronze Silver Gold Level, with bronze being the basic package and the other two including Kit and other various add ons, I don't know video, photoraphs, dinner or meet the queen. Then once thats in order you advertise so that when people phone up to book its already to rock and roll and you take the green stuff and laugh all the way to the bank. The club could n't market a box of fish - let a lone anything any more complex. THATS WHY I BLAME THEM. I could give you more evidence of **** up but I won't ... But the Ted Bates statue always springs to mind. Post the picture of the original someone to give us a much needed laugh.

Don't email - pick up the dog and bone and face them down! You know what they are like - they probably mean may next year. You should well know by now that they could n't organise a **** up in a brewery and you are waiting for them to "get back to you" as I've said before its a football match not a global economic recovery we are trying to organise! I'm champing at the bit to play my five minutes before I am fooked!

But I still stand by statement that the short term burden of his wages verses the long term burden of Administration was not a risk that should have been taken. The reinvention of the thread represents people who don't necessarily sit on forums all day reading every single post that is ever written! some of us are still working despite the recession!!! It is a point that still needs addressing as it is one of the main reasons we are still in the cart we find ourselves in. It was a very poor decision and who ever was culpable for shipping the whole front line out on loan needs to stand up and be counted. The fact they went out onloan in the first place is the reason not so much where or to who. But it is ironic that in a bid to save 10-15K a week, we are prepared to gamble with bankrupcy? If luker had done his job properly and marketed the games right we could have had bigger crowds and then not been in the position that we had to ship all three out on loan.
