stevegrant Posted 22 January, 2014 Posted 22 January, 2014 Looking to get a game against West Ham's fans team on the morning of our game at Upton Park next month (22nd February). Kickoff likely to be 11am. For any newbies, this is 11-a-side, standard is pretty average so no real requirements on that front. Fitness is probably more important, but some of us even struggle with that these days Anyone interested in playing, please let me know Current Squad: Steve Grant Kev Thornton Steve Thornton Stu Holloway Andy Porter Chris Bulpitt Geoff Justice Ant James Ben Newton Julian Ganley Matt Marchant
Dr Who? Posted 26 January, 2014 Posted 26 January, 2014 I think my playing days are over. My ankles just do not like it any more, which is gutting to say the least!
ant Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 (edited) Yep, in! Has the venue been set? I'll likely be getting the train up so may need to cadge a lift if it's a way out. Edited 27 January, 2014 by ant
ben05 Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 My memory could be a bit hazy but weren't West ham quite good at World Net? Didn't they beat Man city (who we lost to!) ?
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2014 Posted 27 January, 2014 Did get your email Steve, for some reason it got mixed up and missed. I cant play, I play Sat football now so realistically dont get many saturdays off anymore mate, goood luck
stevegrant Posted 28 January, 2014 Author Posted 28 January, 2014 Venue details: Flanders Playing Fields, Napier Road, London, E6 2SG. Map 11:00 kick-off, arrive by 10:30 Nearest tube station is East Ham (District and Hammersmith & City lines), around 15 minutes walk, and that station is also one stop from Upton Park for the afternoon game.
Summers Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 Still waiting on Saturday fixtures, however home pitch is half-decent and usually drains well in crap weather Will let you know as soon as I do. Steve, Do I owe you for WorldNET? Don't know if I've done it already or not, if not. I'll transfer on Friday
stevegrant Posted 28 January, 2014 Author Posted 28 January, 2014 Yes you do Assume you're aware that the consensus seems to be staying in hotels this year rather than the uni accommodation?
magnet Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I'm in if wanted as long as I get ticket. Also would be up for Worldnet if required.
stevegrant Posted 28 January, 2014 Author Posted 28 January, 2014 The more the merrier, on both counts
Grey Crab Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I am available to give half-time and full-time massages. I will do extras at the right price.
Grey Crab Posted 28 January, 2014 Posted 28 January, 2014 I when I say the right price, I'm not paying you any more than £10 and I will insist on taking you in my mouth.
magnet Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 I've got my Westham ticket :-) Steve let me know what monies you need fro World net.
ant Posted 29 January, 2014 Posted 29 January, 2014 11:00 kick-off, arrive by 10:30 Oof, 7.40am train for me that morning then!
stevegrant Posted 29 January, 2014 Author Posted 29 January, 2014 Steve let me know what monies you need fro World net. Just £20 for the team entry fee.
Summers Posted 30 January, 2014 Posted 30 January, 2014 That I wasn't aware of. Okay, £20 will be on way to you tomorrow for that.
stevegrant Posted 3 February, 2014 Author Posted 3 February, 2014 Ok steve .... I`m in. Noted What position(s) do you play?
Draino76 Posted 3 February, 2014 Posted 3 February, 2014 Centre back. Hold on... I just realised how old I am. Apologies but I think I better pass!
saintchris23 Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 Centre back. Hold on... I just realised how old I am. Apologies but I think I better pass! As long as you can pass, you'll do fine.
saintchris23 Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 Steve, a quick google search doesn't look positive for parking at the field, have you been there before? Any advice as I'll need to bring the car.
stevegrant Posted 4 February, 2014 Author Posted 4 February, 2014 I've been told that there's a car park of some description at the venue, but we won't be able to leave cars there for the afternoon. Apparently there's a Tesco nearby where they don't seem to do any parking checks on matchdays, but will get a bit more info on that nearer the time.
stevegrant Posted 12 February, 2014 Author Posted 12 February, 2014 VENUE CHANGE ALERT The game has been moved to the 3G pitch at Langdon School as it seems unlikely any grass pitches in the area will be playable in the next couple of weeks. https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=ziGKD136Erq0.kqTnXd5DCf3E The pointer on the map shows the entrance to the school for those driving, the postcode maps to another entrance that isn't as convenient. For those coming by train/tube, it's still the same station, but a slightly longer walk.
prideofthesouth Posted 12 February, 2014 Posted 12 February, 2014 Excellent a longer walk means a longer run
ant Posted 13 February, 2014 Posted 13 February, 2014 Not a big fan of 3G but saves being caked in mud all day. Quite up for this!
TijuanaTim Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 Love to play with the team again, just getting over surgery so out of action til late Apr, early May....any other opportunities arising around then as I may take another trip home? It is always a privilege playing with you guys...hey and as a selling point, we're undefeated when I play ;-)
stevegrant Posted 17 February, 2014 Author Posted 17 February, 2014 Still looking for a few more players, particularly a keeper!
Greenridge Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 I do hope you intend to put out your best strength team Steve. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes / boot if you don't!
stevegrant Posted 17 February, 2014 Author Posted 17 February, 2014 I do hope you intend to put out your best strength team Steve. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes / boot if you don't! I now know how Redknapp feels... down to the bare bones
LeBenali Posted 17 February, 2014 Posted 17 February, 2014 I have plans on Saturday morning, otherwise would have been up for this
