Everyone who has applied so far has a place.

 

There are still a number of places left, although the furthest forward is central midfield!

 

One goalkeeper spot remaining, along with lots of defender spaces.

 

lol shows this lot up on here - glory hunters...

 

Think we should have a DMG memorial award for the worst forward on display

Application has been in for a few days now, airmiles are now sorted, all I need now is confirmation from Baj that the promised backroom staff for my critical role as manager are in place.

 

I'll need one person to pick up the drinks tray as I kick it over regularly.

Two cute blonde chick masseurs to stop my shoulders getting too tense during the game

and a mega-phone to shout abuse at the ref from the technical area over the noise of the capacity crowd.

 

And the all important bald headed thug looking bloke to look angry all game (what is it with PL teams and angry looking Bald headed blokes - all the games I saw at the weekend had one)

 

Anyone want any duty frees bringing over? Fags are already sold to help pay the cost of the place, but still have the booze and pong allowances available for auction

 

Oh and my team WILL be playing 4 - 4 - FOOKIN - 2

 

After half a season managing Coombe Bissett FC way back when I reckon I have enough on my cv to manage Saints let alone half of you lot!

 

(all we have to do now is hope we don't go bust before the game and find that Kranser cancels it and keeps our money)

Good luck to those who play, even though I could afford it and not bothered in what position, I'm simply too unfit and crap to even play 45 minutes - I would end up embarrassing myself and others!

 

I'm not letting lack of fitness stand in my way! - Live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself.... and why feel embarressed? Don't be shy sign up!

Latest update:

 

There is only one remaining 90 minute position - goalkeeper!

 

There are 6 remaining 45 minute places, 3 central defenders, 1 left midfield and 2 central midfield.

 

Are you mods playing?

 

Could you give an indication of fitness levels please Stve? Some may be worrying that they won't be able to keep up.

Baj and I are both playing (and paying our way as well, before someone inevitably asks).

 

Judging by the ages and playing levels of everyone who's playing, it really is a wide range. The ages range from 16 to 45 on the playing side (even older among the managers :lol:), some play regularly at varying levels, others don't play regularly at all. Hopefully the teams are going to be reasonably well balanced.

 

Did I get in then?

Everyone who has registered so far is in, although I've not been able to fit everyone into their #1 position or their preferred time period (I don't think anyone had to be fitted in with a different position AND time). I had to do a bit of juggling to ensure everyone was in one of their three preferred positions.

As I'm eager to get everything sorted asap, registered users will be able to register from midnight tonight.

 

Cool, cheers.

Out of interest, seeing as it's now not just full members, could I sign up someone else at the same time? He'll only end up registering just for this anyway.

How long you going to leave it for Steve? I am sure I am not the only one who doesnt mind paying a bit extra if you cant fill the remaining 3 places,although saying that not sure there would be many takers for goalkeeper amongst the existing lot!

3 playing places left - GK (90 mins) and 2 x centre-back (45 mins)

 

Possibly one manager place left as well - the person who initially enquired about that hasn't got back to me since Friday night.

 

Have you considered trying different formations? You could have the Anti's using 4-4-2 and the Pro Lowe's in a sort of "where am I supposed to be" diamond formation with only 2 at the back.

 

BTW has the eldest player bar been raised yet?

Scrap the DVD and that should cover the cost of the missing players. I do think the add-ons may have put one or two off tbh, it started at about £90 for 45 minutes if memory serves me right.

Possibly, but then how would you decide who plays 90 mins out of those that paid for 45?

Yes but the dvd is one of things that appealed to me most, it would be a great momento

yes the dvd must stay :-). i want something to play back when i need to laugh

 

Yes me too, The thought of seeing me trying to run for 90 minutes will be comedy gold !

 

Scratch that idea then.

Erm... Okay then, how about we don't give half the spectator money to charity? If everyone has 10 friends coming that should easily cover the shortfall. btw, I have another 5 that want to see me on a stretcher.

I know what is coming.

I'll be sending out e-mails this evening detailing how/when money is to be paid.

 

If those positions remain unfilled by tonight, they will remain open - I will figure out a way of ensuring all costs are covered in the meantime, which may involve slotting people who had asked to play 45 but said they didn't mind playing 90 if necessary into 90 minute slots, getting the full money from them and then refunding half if/when I manage to get someone to fill the 45-minute slot. So long as 11 positions are covered at £230 each (or 2x£115), the costs are covered.

 

I haven't got my bit of paper where I'd managed to fit everyone into a team to hand at the moment (currently sat on a train to Waterloo), but if necessary I should be able to do a slight reshuffle to ensure there's 15 in each squad rather than 16 if necessary.

 

Getting a second goalkeeper is kinda vital though, so if anyone knows anyone who would be willing to play in goal at a cost of £230, ask them to get in touch pretty urgently! :D

We could just have 'Rush' goalie, or 'Scramble'. :D
