stevegrant Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Morning all, We've got a game against Watford's fans team on the morning of our game at Vicarage Road (Sunday 23rd August). The game is likely to be in Bushey, just outside Watford. We're looking for players for this one - can probably sort out match tickets for the afternoon if anyone needs them as well. It's a "normal" game, i.e. 11-a-side 90 minutes, albeit with rolling subs if we've got enough players! If you fancy a game - there's no real requirement of any sort of standard (ask anyone who's seen us play before ) - please get in touch. We're also aiming to get a team up to West Brom in September as well, so keep that one in mind...
aussiesaint20 Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Will be in London that weekend and would love to play! I'm a decent enough at the indoor version, but I've never actually played an 11-a-side game..although I have played hundreds of 18-a-side games in a different sport.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Steve - I away the weekend of the Watford game but should be about for the West Brom game. Will ask others too if you're short?
stevegrant Posted 3 August, 2015 Author Posted 3 August, 2015 Steve - I away the weekend of the Watford game but should be about for the West Brom game. Will ask others too if you're short? That'll be handy, let me know about the usual suspects
stevegrant Posted 3 August, 2015 Author Posted 3 August, 2015 Out of interest what is oiur record in fan matches? I'd describe it as "moderate" Played 3 games last season, lost 4-1 to West Brom, 1-0 to Watford and beat Kidderminster 10-3.
nta786 Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Do you think this game will sell out? I may or may not go.
saint_stevo Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 I'd describe it as "moderate" Played 3 games last season, lost 4-1 to West Brom, 1-0 to Watford and beat Kidderminster 10-3. Didnt we lose about 7-1 to Watford too?
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Do you think this game will sell out? I may or may not go. Fan matches aren't that popular, you'll easily be able to get a ticket.
Summers Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Didnt we lose about 7-1 to Watford too?That was the season before (in June) and it was 7-0!
The9 Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 That was the season before (in June) and it was 7-0! We have also beaten them before, thanks to some spactacular timewasting on my part, and no thanks to Dan Kerins' finishing.
Summers Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 We have also beaten them before, thanks to some spactacular timewasting on my part, and no thanks to Dan Kerins' finishing. I seem to recall a 3-3- draw in Bushey too...?
Lets B Avenue Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 I'd describe it as "moderate" Played 3 games last season, lost 4-1 to West Brom, 1-0 to Watford and beat Kidderminster 10-3. Ahem! Watford was abandoned after 40 mins, according to the most excellent ref.
The9 Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 I seem to recall a 3-3- draw in Bushey too...? Yeah, probably the match at the Met Police ground, the day I took squad pics and Rabbit was at 99% Rick Wakeman Hair.
The9 Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Ahem! Watford was abandoned after 40 mins, according to the most excellent ref. I still have a lot of video of that match I haven't bothered to upload...
Smirking_Saint Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 I'd describe it as "moderate" Played 3 games last season, lost 4-1 to West Brom, 1-0 to Watford and beat Kidderminster 10-3. I dont think Ive lost a game yet steve just saying
Summers Posted 4 August, 2015 Posted 4 August, 2015 Yeah, probably the match at the Met Police ground, the day I took squad pics and Rabbit was at 99% Rick Wakeman Hair.Well that was the one that "Natalie" came along to watch...
Son of Bob Posted 4 August, 2015 Posted 4 August, 2015 Yeah, probably the match at the Met Police ground, the day I took squad pics and Rabbit was at 99% Rick Wakeman Hair. Think I played in that one so must have been years ago!!
Golden Balls Posted 4 August, 2015 Posted 4 August, 2015 I might be up for this if you need a player. Haven't played for you lot since the famous 7-2 (I think) win against Bournemouth. Scary that was 10-11 years ago! Just need to check dates and get tickets. Might have a couple of others on hand if needed too.

Scary that was 10-11 years ago! Just need to check dates and get tickets. Might have a couple of others on hand if needed too. "If" Tbf, you'd make it a handy squad of 14, which works nicely as a) it gives us enough players to rotate people off as and when they're knackered, but b) isn't too many that we're having to make loads of subs to make sure everyone gets enough of a game.
Batman Posted 4 August, 2015 Posted 4 August, 2015 would have played if still working in Northwood. but I am not, so I wont

Lighthouse Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 I might be around for this but I don't have a ST so I haven't got a Watford ticket yet.
ericofarabia Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 I might be around for this but I don't have a ST so I haven't got a Watford ticket yet. Looks like it has just sold out, damn I was hoping to maybe get along to that one.
Beckenham Saint Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Is this Bushey that's on the London overground line? If so, I could play
The9 Posted 8 August, 2015 Posted 8 August, 2015 Well that was the one that "Natalie" came along to watch... Did she spend ages hanging around near the changing room door afterwards trying to meet players?
Summers Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 Did she spend ages hanging around near the changing room door afterwards trying to meet players? Very good... For you...!
stevegrant Posted 17 August, 2015 Author Posted 17 August, 2015 Venue confirmed as Parmiters School. Could do with at least one more defender if anyone fancies a game...
ant Posted 17 August, 2015 Posted 17 August, 2015 I can drop back to a marauding Left Back role if need be.
stevegrant Posted 17 August, 2015 Author Posted 17 August, 2015 I can drop back to a marauding Left Back role if need be. Worked so well against this lot last time Think we've got full-backs, just need another centre-back.
ant Posted 17 August, 2015 Posted 17 August, 2015 Worked so well against this lot last time Think we've got full-backs, just need another centre-back. Oh cripes, that was Watford, wasn't it. I'll be a popular face. Be good to check how that lad's getting on though. Well we were causing them problems down the wings but point taken...
The9 Posted 17 August, 2015 Posted 17 August, 2015 Oh cripes, that was Watford, wasn't it. I'll be a popular face. Be good to check how that lad's getting on though. Well we were causing them problems down the wings but point taken... I like that you've only just realised, I'm not even playing and that was the first thing I thought...
Summers Posted 17 August, 2015 Posted 17 August, 2015 Worked so well against this lot last time Think we've got full-backs, just need another centre-back. Or potentially a semi-competent keeper...
Summers Posted 18 August, 2015 Posted 18 August, 2015 Any decent stream's?A couple, I'm sure the ball may frequent one or two of them, especially with my kicking...
stevegrant Posted 20 August, 2015 Author Posted 20 August, 2015 Could still do with a couple of additional players for this, if anyone's around. 11am kickoff at Parmiters School (WD25 0UU).
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Any decent stream's? It depends how much beer they drink beforehand.
Katalinic Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Could still do with a couple of additional players for this, if anyone's around. 11am kickoff at Parmiters School (WD25 0UU). Really decent pitches there (or at least used to be a a few years back). Think Watford used it for training at one time.
The9 Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Could still do with a couple of additional players for this, if anyone's around. 11am kickoff at Parmiters School (WD25 0UU). World's most predictable message.
stevegrant Posted 20 August, 2015 Author Posted 20 August, 2015 World's most predictable message. We've got a team, just would prefer a few subs as well.
The9 Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 We've got a team, just would prefer a few subs as well. And based on the experience of... oooh, every IFC away game ever, that'll leave you with at best 11 players, one of whom is someone's 12-year old.
ant Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 Could swear my knees are about 10 years older than I am (and they clearly hate me to boot). Attempting to rest up for Sunday!
