stevegrant Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Evening all, Having originally believed the club weren't running end-of-season pitch events this season, I got a call last week to tell me that, in fact, they are, so we've again got the opportunity to play a game on the hallowed turf at St Mary's. Unfortunately, the cost has gone up a bit from last year, so that means that, should we get enough interest to confirm the game, the cost will be as follows: 90 minutes: £270 45 minutes: £135 There will be 6 90-minute slots in both teams and 10 45-minute slots (5 in the first half, 5 in the second half). If you wish to participate, please email playatsms@saintsweb.co.uk with ALL of the following details: Forum Username Real Name Email Address Age Preferred Foot (left, right, both, two left feet, etc) Up to three preferred positions in order of preference (options: GK, RB, LB, CB, RM, LM, CM, ST - each should be self-explanatory) 45 or 90 minutes (also say whether you'd be willing to accept the alternative) The deadline for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 5th April, and payments will be due within two weeks of that date (i.e. by 5pm on Tuesday 19th April). Full Members will be given priority if the event is oversubscribed. If anyone has any questions, please either PM me or post below. Good luck
Noodles34 Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I'm in 45, never done it, too good an opportunity to be missed i reckon
Crab Lungs Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Very, very tempting. Just need to find the money for WN first...
Crab Lungs Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 And Steve, don't auto correct my position to "left back", please...
The9 Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Very, very tempting. Just need to find the money for WN first... Hah, like you'll have a chance of being considered with your track record unless you turn up at Steve's house with bullion yesterday.
Arizona Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 W000000T!! Did we ever get those missing pictures up from last years game?

saint_stevo Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Hmmmm....op on April 8th on the troublesome knee. Thinkin this may come too soon. ****ers
bridge too far Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I ask this every year - can I be team physio please
hamster Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I ask this every year - can I be team physio please Yes. If mr btf is on latex I will pay for your place, post match entertainment and put you up. Say you'll be mine mrs b?
benjii Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I did wonder what you were talking about Hammy. Thought it might be something to take to PM....
Mattio Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 How good are the people who play in these games? Is it a similar standard to the old fleming park training games?
hamster Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I did wonder what you were talking about Hammy. Thought it might be something to take to PM.... Lol. WE HAVE NO SECRETS
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Too soon i reckon, technically i would be ok, but i still don't want to test the knee that early, if it was July i would be in. Next year again
RedAndWhite91 Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 Would love to play again, was amazing last year, but injury has forced a temporary early retirement.
The9 Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 How good are the people who play in these games? Is it a similar standard to the old fleming park training games? It's similar, maybe the Forum game is a little better because there are a lot of 45-minuters so the pace is a little higher overall, or maybe I'm just older and sh1itter now. Actually, no maybe about it ! There are a few videos on YouTube that will give you an idea.
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I am actually f*cking gutted TBH. I was hoping so much i would be ok for this, part of me is saying just go for it as it will be ok, but my head and knee is saying its just not worth the risk.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 How good are the people who play in these games? Is it a similar standard to the old fleming park training games? I scored twice last year, so the standard can't be that high! ;-)
Griffo Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 (edited) It's similar, maybe the Forum game is a little better because there are a lot of 45-minuters so the pace is a little higher overall, or maybe I'm just older and sh1itter now.

Arizona Posted 23 March, 2011 Posted 23 March, 2011 I ask this every year - can I be team physio please You'll have your work cut out. Make sure you do your homework when it comes to cramp:lol: How good are the people who play in these games? Is it a similar standard to the old fleming park training games? 2 legs and you're a shoe in. For me the highlight of last years game was this (off camera) gem.
stevegrant Posted 24 March, 2011 Author Posted 24 March, 2011 Build up play for this goal is cracking; Fair to say my first touch isn't anywhere near as good as that anymore
Al de Man Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 W000000T!! Did we ever get those missing pictures up from last years game? I'm sure they got posted. Minty?
The9 Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Build up play for this goal is cracking; Terrible goal.
The9 Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 FC Santos are such great contributors to TSW Whoooooooooooooooooo ?
saint_stevo Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Fair to say my first touch isn't anywhere near as good as that anymore Which resulted in u getting SNAPPED early on last year!
Andy_Porter Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Wish I didn't have so much stuff planned fro the summer now, might do a couple more weekends work to fund this.
Colinjb Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Tempted on the 45 minutes but I don't wish to embarass myself! I really am terrible.
OldNick Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 For me the highlight of last years game was this (off camera) gem. Lol, I dont see any evidence of being sent off,it is a figment of your imagination, but the camera caught you looking like a rabbit in the headlights as you didn't know where to stand! it reminded me of the gawky kid at school who only played with his trainset and had no idea what the rules of football were
Um Bongo Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Gahhh.....I think I could do another 45 mins..... I'm due a win at some point, I'm sure of it.
MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 When will we know if we were successful as it were? 5th of April, I presume?
stevegrant Posted 24 March, 2011 Author Posted 24 March, 2011 When will we know if we were successful as it were? 5th of April, I presume? More likely the 6th, as the evening of the 5th is the Charlton home game.
Scudamore Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 I wouldn't let being rubbish get in the way of what is a great experience! Certainly didn't stop me... Think i'll give it a miss this year though due to monetary issues...
Window Cleaner Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Think i'll give it a miss this year though due to monetary issues... It does seem incredibly expensive,well to me anyway.
Scudamore Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 It does seem incredibly expensive,well to me anyway. Well if I was still in my old job and not keeping an eye on the pennies (through freelance work) then the cost wouldn't particularly bother me. The excitement of the whole thing is well worth the money. I spend £5 to play 5-a-side each week and i'd say getting in the St Mary's changing rooms and then running out on the hallowed pitch is well over 27 times more exciting!
Scudamore Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Oh...and you get a free kit for kickabouts thrown into the cost! Bargain...
saints-cris Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Expensive, but chance to live the boyhood dream !
Window Cleaner Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Expensive, but chance to live the boyhood dream ! Some of us had the honour of playing at the Dell on a fairly regular basis for free.All this Staplewood stuff has denied many a young man that privilege.Think I must have played at the Dell on 8 or 10 occasions.There must be loads of young Saints players who will never play at SMS.
MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 More likely the 6th, as the evening of the 5th is the Charlton home game. Hey, I PMd you on FB, a couple of questions, would greatly appreciate any help
dubai_phil Posted 24 March, 2011 Posted 24 March, 2011 Sitting at the airport lounge, sipping me Bucks Fizz and munching my Strawberry Jam & Clotted Cream Scones thinking it don't get better than ..... and woosh I find it's game on again! Damn, if only I had known yesterday could have nobbled Oldnick down the pub last night!
