Fans' team match at West Brom - Saturday 17th August

[stevegrant]

Morning all

 

We've been invited to play against West Brom's supporters team on the morning before the PL game at the Hawthorns on Saturday 17th August.

 

It'll be 11-a-side, 90 minutes, probably a 10:30 or 11:00 kick-off somewhere in the West Bromwich area.

 

If you've seen us play before, you'll know there's not really much of a requirement for any decent playing standard but depending on numbers you'll probably need a moderate level of fitness.

 

Full (striped!) kit is provided, so you would only need boots and shinpads.

 

If anybody is interested in playing, please let me know asap

 

Oh, and as an aside, here are some other dates with likely games:

 

19th October: Man United (away)

2nd November: Stoke (away)

9th November: Hull (home)

7th December: Man City (home)

11th January: West Brom (home)

8th February: Stoke (home)

22nd February: West Ham (away)

5th April: Man City (away)

10th May: Man United (home)

In the diary for west brom at least.

Excellent

 

Up to 8 definites and another 7 maybes so far.

I'll need to double check with Mark whether or not he is coming, but I'm definitely in as long as I can get a West Brom ticket when they go on general sale (should be ok but with it being the first away game of the season and the new signings on display you never know).

I have ST numbers to get both of you a ticket on Wednesday

 

9 definites now, assuming Mark is in as well.

 

GK: Chris Summers

DF: Michael Hole, Matty Lee, Kev Thornton, Chris Bulpitt, Mike McIntyre

MF: Michael Fordham, Julian Ganley

FW: Steve Grant, Mark Keenan

 

Needless to say, we could do with bulking up with midfielders

[The9]

I'm pretty sure I won't be going, so I won't be playing. Will let you know re: ticket(s) when/if this is confirmed.

[magnet]

I'm getting a lift up with Kev so happily play in the game. Jouls

[stevegrant]

Excellent, we're up to 10 now

[stevegrant]

And then there were 12

 

GK: Chris Summers

DF: Michael Hole, Matty Lee, Kev Thornton, Chris Bulpitt, Mike McIntyre

MF: Michael Fordham, Julian Ganley, Chris Knight, Stu Holloway

FW: Steve Grant, Mark Keenan

 

with Andy Porter still on the "maybe" list, depending on whether he's managed to get a ticket for the game in the afternoon.

Got a good left midfielder coming with us but doesn't want to play, if we're short Im sure I could persuade him.

One less defender. Sorry to let you down Steve but I injured my knee canyoning last weekend and the scans are inconclusive and waiting to see a specialist - not great news.

[stevegrant]

No problem, thanks for letting me know

On the plus side Canyoning is great fun.

[saintchris23]

I'd agree Turkish, however it was the first jump of the day and kinda ruined it for me! Bloody stag do's!

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Great effort from everyone today against a very good team who I was told train every week (and also had about 6 subs).

 

A 2-1 loss for Saints which (as losses go) was great reward for the sheer amount of effort and over the 90mins. My legs are in bits from the pressing, I have no idea how Schneiderlin does it as a professional every week against Premier League opposition.

 

Good to see everyone as well.
