stevegrant Posted 20 September, 2011 Share Posted 20 September, 2011 I've been contacted by the manager of the Watford internet supporters' team asking if we can raise a team to play them in the morning before the Saints v Watford game on Saturday 1st October. No venue has been arranged yet (although most likely to be Fleming Park in Eastleigh) but will be done as soon as I get confirmation that we've got enough players. The cost will be £5 per player to cover pitch fees and washing the kit. Likely to be a 10.30 or 11.00 kick-off, if you fancy playing (it'll be rolling subs, so you won't necessarily need to be able to last a full 90 minutes!), please let me know.

Colinjb Posted 20 September, 2011 Share Posted 20 September, 2011 Wash the kit? You mean that Saintsweb has a kit? I may be available... but honestly, you should only field me as a last resort, I'm genuinely sh!te!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 20 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 20 September, 2011 SaintsWeb doesn't have a kit, the long-standing Southampton IFC team has a kit, which I have possession of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 26 September, 2011 Author Share Posted 26 September, 2011 OK, squad list as far as I can tell, comprising those who gave me positions. Real names where known, much easier for me to do it that way. GK: Scott Barnard DF: Andy Porter, Darren Cave, Scott Phillips, Adam Moore, Kev Thornton, bowers-sfc, Carl Noyce MF: Chris Knight, Stu Holloway, Ben Coombes, Ash Drouet, Pete Stephens ST: Steve Grant, Scott Griffin, Brad Smirk, Barrie Jarman This squad is not closed, so if anybody else wants to be added, please let me know. That includes those who have identified themselves on this thread without telling me where you play. Kick-off will be 10.30am at Fleming Park Leisure Centre in Eastleigh, please be there by 10am at the latest. For those who don't know the venue, the football changing rooms are in the old hut-like building to the left-hand side of the main leisure centre building, opposite the tennis courts. You will need shin pads and boots, probably worth bringing some white socks as well if you've got some, not entirely sure I've got enough of those in the kitbag. It would be helpful if everyone could PM me a contact email (if your email gets sent to your phone) or mobile number so I can keep you informed if there are any problems on the day etc. I can then also give you my details so you can let me know if you're running late, etc. If you can't PM, my Hotmail address is on my profile.

The9 Posted 27 September, 2011 Share Posted 27 September, 2011 (edited) Who's The9 ? The reason I ask is because I played at quite a high level & am only a couple of years older. I'm nobody, but if you're even older than me and you're in the squad, then maybe you have scored more. I was going on the balance of probability, given that I'm 38 and have played against a lot of crap defences in rubbish local leagues. Unfortunately most of the nine goals in one game at County level stuff is well in the past and I'm an injury-prone never-was now... but I have scored against Watford fans home and away before.

Steve, I have a full set of plain red Umbro socks with white feet (about 20 pairs) if you'd like to "refresh" the kit a little - I'm not giving them away, but they're an extremely reasonable price if you want them, considering they're England socks and were £10 a pair when launched.
