Right, here we go then...

 

Basic Qualifying Requirements:

  • You will need to be available from 5pm until 9pm on Thursday 7th May.
  • You must be a Full Member on the forum - if you haven't subscribed yet, you'd better do it quickly :)
  • You will need to provide your own: shorts, socks, shinpads, boots - for shorts and socks, we will let you know which colour you need when the teams have been sorted.
  • You will need to be in a position to make full payment within a relatively short window which will be determined when the teams have been finalised. This date is almost certain to be before the end of March. Anybody failing to make payment by the date given will forfeit their place to the person next on the waiting list in that position.
  • You must be aged 16 or over. There is no negotiation on this - SFC's insurance policy for these games only covers people aged 16 or over.

 

Because we still have to pay the same amount to the club regardless of how we collect the money, if you wish to pay by PayPal, unfortunately we will have to pass on the commission PayPal charges us for the transactions to you, so please bear this in mind. This will add a maximum of £8.02 onto the cost (for 90 minute slots - obviously less for the lower amounts). Cheque or direct bank transfer will not attract any extra costs.

 

You will need to provide ALL of the following in order for your application to be considered:

  • Forum username
  • Real name
  • The name you want on the back of your shirt (within reason - nothing rude, please)
  • Age
  • E-mail address, if the one you're sending from isn't the one you want us to contact you on
  • Contact phone number
  • Preferred duration (45 mins or 90)
  • Willing to accept more/less time if preferred duration is unavailable? (yes/no)
  • #1 Preferred position
  • #2 Preferred position
  • #3 Preferred position
  • Playing standard
  • Rough estimate of the number of spectators you will be bringing (this doesn't need to be precise, we just need to give a rough estimate to the club)

 

The #2 and #3 preferred position fields are optional, but obviously if your #1 preferred position is already taken and you've not specified any other positions, you won't get a place.

 

Feel free to specify a particular position, e.g. "Defender (RB or LB)" if you're a full-back, for example. That will help us to fit people in and decide which exact positions will be the 45-minute ones.

 

You may only register yourself in your e-mail. We will ignore all e-mails that attempt to register more than one person, or e-mails that appear to be registering somebody different to the person sending the e-mail. We will also ignore all applications that do not give us all the information we need.

 

You will receive an automated response when you send your e-mail - we will then send a further message to all valid applicants when the teams have been decided.

 

The only information that will be passed to SFC will be the name you wish to be printed on your shirt, all other information will be kept solely for the purpose of selecting the teams for this match.

 

Please note that all payments are non-refundable, except in exceptional circumstances, and only where a replacement still willing to pay in your place is available.

 

The last bit of information you will need, of course, is the e-mail address to send your application to:

playatsms@saintsweb.co.uk

 

Good luck :smt023

Do you think you will ever organise another game - or has this one sent you round the bend?

???? What is that exactly?

 

Beats me.

Quick question - a mate of mine who wants to play doesn't even have the internet, would I be allowed to send an application in for him? I'd probably apply as well if he went for it.

Not at this stage. If there are still places available after "Registered Users" have had an opportunity (if it even gets as far as that), then we'll open it up to others to fill any remaining spaces.

 

Yeah I also didn't realise the age and spectator numbers, added this in a further e-mail which i hope is ok? :)

Yeah that's fine.

When the email had been sent I looked back on the thread and there were only 18 views on it. I presume this means I must be getting a place surely..

Well if you think about it.. It's done on first come first served right.. There's 32 places up for grabs (11 men each with 5 subs). Even if the 18 people that had viewed the thread had signed up before me, I'd still be the 19th to have done, therefore surely getting a place. I doubt that all those 18 people well all Full Member's on there specifically to sign up either.

There may still be a few places left, hence no word yet. Have a bit of patience ;)

Re - read the original post and looks like we will only find out when the teams have been decided - my nails can't take much more!

Out of interest, why does playing standard make a difference?

 

As they said in t'other thread, they want to try and keep the sides even.

sorry, but with the greatest of respect Grantys got enough on his plate organising the majority of this even without giving everyone updates. As he's said, you will all be updated in due course.

Sorry to ask, Its just that I put down a position but if I didn't get that I would gladly play in any position(even goal!) so would apply again if necessary
