trousers Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 You're forgetting that we're all owed a partial refund for the un-usability of the forum on match days.

Colinjb Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 125 quid!? That's cheaper then football aid. I'ld be up for it.

Might I offer my assistance?

So a medical team would be required too. yeah but the Lowe lot would have the advantage of double barrelled shot guns and so you socialist lovies could be the duckies. Itell you what the shooting would be very accurate
Scudamore Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 I would gladly pay 125 quids to play at St Mary's
saintjay77 Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Pancake said: The Luvvies Vs The Fringe lmao that would be great but im guessing the new football kit would consist of the same kit used in ice hockey - skates or there may be a few deaths lol

That was exactly my thought when I saw that it was £4k for the whole thing. I would potentially be willing to organise it, but would obviously need definite numbers. It's easy enough for people to say "yeah, I'll play", but actually parting with that sort of money for one game of football is another matter

Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Would it be open to come and watch? I am too unfit to run around for that length of time, but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to see you lot kick the sh*t out of each other.
Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 You could always do the old 22 players per team and do a complete swap at half time, therefore each person gets 45 mins... and the price comes down to £87 per head (including 2 managers)

Scudamore Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 saintjay77 said: ah crap i didnt think of that. i guess im out too lol I'd get in training. I associate football with five-a-side these days. And whilst the forty minute games i play each week are knackering it's a little more hectic.

I was thinking the same......a quid each to see a bloodbath/comedy show/snail race/first aid practice day........would be great, pity I'm too old:(

hypochondriac Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 I would do it as would a friend. As someone said can we charge people a quid to come watch?

stevegrant Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Scudamore said: Sub on sub off? In fact instead of me asking stupid questions how's about someone points me in the direction of a link to this? I would say so, yes. As far as I can tell, it's entirely up to the organisers (after all, it's your money!) as to how they want that side of things to be played. The officials should be happy with whatever arrangement you want, as long as they are actually told about it beforehand
forever a red and white Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 i would also be interested, dependent on dates of course
Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 JustMike said: wouldnt be fair the subs paying £125 though Indeed, I thought that, so better to have 22 man squads each player getting a half (like Soccer Aid IIRC).
Gingeletiss Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Won't it be a bit one sided............I suspect the Lovies could only field a team of 3, unless JFP gets his move South;)

bolo Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 damn it.... I'm out of the country!!!!! I'd love to play!

Saint_Jonny Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Id be well up for the 22-side plan! Would be brilliant fun I reckon'
JustMike Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Pancake said: Indeed, I thought that, so better to have 22 man squads each player getting a half (like Soccer Aid IIRC). 44 + people in each dressing room :-) why dont we do it like football aid etc. Have a bidding style thing for each position with say 5 positions being subbed at half time?
Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 JustMike said: 44 + people in each dressing room :-) No, 22. The article says you have sue of both dressings rooms, so no need to put all 44 in the same room.
Frank's cousin Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Could you find 22 luvvies though? ;-) (or for Alps and UP, 22 that would admit to it!);-)
stevegrant Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Pancake said: Indeed, I thought that, so better to have 22 man squads each player getting a half (like Soccer Aid IIRC). Football Aid has squads of 16, with 5 pre-determined substitutions taking place at half-time. The people designated to sub on/off at half-time obviously pay less than those who play 90 minutes. Personally, I'd be sceptical that we'd get more than 30 people willing to pay £100-odd to play. With rolling subs, it's much more likely that the subs will play a bigger part in the game as you could rotate 2 from 3 outfield players at any one time being on the pitch, which in theory means that each of those three players would play an hour each.
Scummer Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Pancake said: No, 22. The article says you have sue of both dressings rooms, so no need to put all 44 in the same room. Who's this Sue person? If she's fit I wouldn't mind spending time in the dressing room with her.
