My Agent...has also warned me that the missus might be organising my 65th birthday surprise on the same day. Best position...block 37...with lots of coaching/encouragement ability.......just ask Poch:smug:
Noodles34 Posted 1 April, 2013 Posted 1 April, 2013 I'm now back from my tour of Italy, San Marino, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia I'll try to collate everything together later today, if those who are interested but haven't stated their positions and/or rough playing ability/fitness levels (those that I don't know, at least ) could do so, that would be very helpful. Playing midfield or right back, ability has limitations but reasonably fit, could last a whole match and can do sex for about 20 minutes (depending on company).

ant Posted 2 April, 2013 Posted 2 April, 2013 Oh arse, looks like I forgot I was supposed to be going to a wedding on the 27th. Wrangling it so that I get to see us play West Brom is going to be difficult enough, looks like I'll have to count myself out of the fans match

stevegrant Posted 6 April, 2013 Author Posted 6 April, 2013 Yes, I should have the squad sorted tomorrow. I've got a list of around 25 so need to reduce that down to 15 or 16.
Crab Lungs Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 OK, I'll probably come to watch BUT will bring my stuff, just in case. Also, can someone paint me out a technical area? I fancy being a bit of an Andy Crosby.
Bwanamakubwa Posted 6 April, 2013 Posted 6 April, 2013 I'm with lungs and happy with a watching brief. Will be on call if required!
stevegrant Posted 7 April, 2013 Author Posted 7 April, 2013 Right, here's the provisional squad of 15: GK: Chris Summers DF: Kev Thornton, Adam Moore, Andy Porter, Lee Chamberlain, Mike Florit MF: Chris Knight, Stu Holloway, Scott Phillips, Andy Mintram, Jordan Florit, Ben Coombes FW: Steve Grant, Scott Griffin, Brad Smirk Apologies to those who put their names forward but aren't on the list, unfortunately 28 doesn't go into 15. I'm hoping that these games will be much more regular next season so there will be more opportunities for everyone. For those who are on the list, if any of your plans change and you cannot make the game, please let me know asap so I can bring somebody else in. I'll confirm full details in the next week or so.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 any idea at this stage if it will be AM or PM Kick off?
Minty Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 Seeing as we're playing West Brom at St Mary's at 1500, I'm guessing it'll be the usual morning KO... ;-)
stevegrant Posted 8 April, 2013 Author Posted 8 April, 2013 any idea at this stage if it will be AM or PM Kick off? 10.30 or 11.00 kickoff.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 8 April, 2013 Posted 8 April, 2013 lol good call Minty, just about to shoot myself for asking daft question....think before you type springs to mind
stevegrant Posted 12 April, 2013 Author Posted 12 April, 2013 Just as an aside, I've pencilled in an away game at Watford for Saturday 8th June.
Minty Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Just as an aside, I've pencilled in an away game at Watford for Saturday 8th June. Damnit, that's one I would've been interested in given how far back we've been playing against them, but I'll be in Europe on my travels.
The9 Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Just as an aside, I've pencilled in an away game at Watford for Saturday 8th June. Possibly my favourite picture ever, from our 5-4 defeat to Watford in October 2008 :
stevegrant Posted 12 April, 2013 Author Posted 12 April, 2013 That header set up Kerins for our injury-time consolation goal Probably the highest I've ever jumped, tbf
Window Cleaner Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Right, here's the provisional squad of 15: GK: Chris Summers DF: Kev Thornton, Adam Moore, Andy Porter, Lee Chamberlain, Mike Florit MF: Chris Knight, Stu Holloway, Scott Phillips, Andy Mintram, Jordan Florit, Ben Coombes FW: Steve Grant, Scott Griffin, Brad Smirk Apologies to those who put their names forward but aren't on the list, unfortunately 28 doesn't go into 15.

For those who are on the list, if any of your plans change and you cannot make the game, please let me know asap so I can bring somebody else in. I'll confirm full details in the next week or so. WTF is this, giving out squad information in advance, you've got to keep the opposition guessing, have you learnt nothing from 2 and a half years of NA's pre-match interviews.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Minty Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 That header set up Kerins for our injury-time consolation goal Probably the highest I've ever jumped, tbf I don't remember Kerins ever scoring. I only ever remember him missing from 1 yard out up in Watford at the tournament we played.
stevegrant Posted 12 April, 2013 Author Posted 12 April, 2013 I don't remember Kerins ever scoring. I only ever remember him missing from 1 yard out up in Watford at the tournament we played. This one was even closer, can barely have been a foot from the line
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Was Watford the team we played against when I played ?
stevegrant Posted 12 April, 2013 Author Posted 12 April, 2013 Was Watford the team we played against when I played ? Yep. Fair to assume they'll have a stronger team out at their place.
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 April, 2013 Posted 12 April, 2013 Yep. Fair to assume they'll have a stronger team out at their place. Aslong as its not that young'un they brought on towards the end !! Any ideas how good this lot are ?
stevegrant Posted 15 April, 2013 Author Posted 15 April, 2013 Sorry gents, but this game is now off. West Brom had to change their manager last week as the guy I'd been arranging this game with suddenly dropped it all (understandably) as his wife is undergoing chemotherapy. Having spoken to the bloke who's taken it over, it turns out he'd not made any arrangements with their players and, with West Brom apparently providing free coach travel to their fans for the game, many of them are taking advantage of that so won't be down here early enough. I believe they've sold out their allocation so any remaining players were unable to get a ticket for the game. As I said previously, I've pencilled in an away game at Watford on Saturday 8th June, so watch this space
Lighthouse Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 How about a Saints vs Saints game, just for a laugh, if you've apparently got 30 odd volunteers?
Faz Posted 15 April, 2013 Posted 15 April, 2013 How about a Saints vs Saints game, just for a laugh, if you've apparently got 30 odd volunteers? Probables v Possibles
stevegrant Posted 17 April, 2013 Author Posted 17 April, 2013 Yeah that's not a bad shout, as long as there's enough interest. I'll need confirmation from everyone interested (only those who will actually turn up, rather than those who say they'll turn up and then don't bother, please) by the end of the week otherwise I'll have to cancel the pitch booking. Go!
Lighthouse Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 (edited) I didn't put my name down originally but you can count me in as definite Steve. I was on your team at the St Mary's match back in 2010 so I'll let you decide on my ability. No comments here. Right footed, prefer playing either wing or RB. Edited 17 April, 2013 by Lighthouse
BARCELONASAINT Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 yes i will be there, will check to see if mini me can as well.
The9 Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 Saints v Saints sounds like a great idea, we could do with a bigger squad and it would help with maybe being able to play more IFC games next season and possibly with the ongoing Worldnet numbers issue we get every year, when people drop out of that tournament. Have we still got 2 sets of non-clashing kit ? In case you haven't guessed, I'm in.
stevegrant Posted 17 April, 2013 Author Posted 17 April, 2013 Have we still got 2 sets of non-clashing kit ? Yes, I've still got that sky blue one so that'll do for the nominal "away" team.
Bwanamakubwa Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 I will rule myself back in as well! Attacking centre midfielder with no pace but an eye for a pass.
Smirking_Saint Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 Yeah Im around All round midfielder or striker/no.10 so wherever you want me really Probably better suited to a midfield role though, thats where Ill be playing Saturdays next year
Crab Lungs Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 I.... might... be .... interested...! Depends whether I'm working Saturday morning though, I'll know next week...
OldNick Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 Where's Griffo , Spades and Influenced .com? They were decent players in the Forum matches, there were loads of others as well, who was the nutty keeper who played keeper /sweeper and nearly took Griffo's head off?
Bjorn Posted 17 April, 2013 Posted 17 April, 2013 I'm in! If there's not enough interest in Saints vs Saints then as long as you let me know early enough I should be able to get a work team together!
stevegrant Posted 18 April, 2013 Author Posted 18 April, 2013 OK, at the moment we have the original squad of 15 plus three others, I'd need to get it back up to at least 25 (preferably 28 so each side has a few subs to account for varying fitness levels) to make it viable.
stevegrant Posted 18 April, 2013 Author Posted 18 April, 2013 Go on then. You were already on the list
Minty Posted 18 April, 2013 Posted 18 April, 2013 I know, just wanted to confirm I'd be up for any other game... thought some might pull out if it wasn't vs West Brom.
