stevegrant Posted 6 April, 2009 Author Posted 6 April, 2009 Latest update: Quite a few payments waiting to clear into the bank account - once I've identified which ones these are (they don't show on the statement until they've cleared, which is irritating), I'll be able to give everyone a bit more information and possibly open up some more places. The vast majority have paid, so thanks to everyone who has done so. I'll keep you posted
Whitey Grandad Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Let me know if you still need any make-weights. I can always wander around on the wing pretending to look interested if it helps. I shouldn't look out of place.
hamster Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 steve, the money left my account on Friday, any probs let me know please.
magnet Posted 9 April, 2009 Posted 9 April, 2009 I've busted me ankle so not going to be able to play now :-( 45mins upfront for the away team now available (gutted)
Griffo Posted 10 April, 2009 Posted 10 April, 2009 Honestly, what are the chances of the game going ahead?
forever a red and white Posted 10 April, 2009 Posted 10 April, 2009 lets just hope everyone coughs up
Griffo Posted 10 April, 2009 Posted 10 April, 2009 Not just about coughing up, which I have already done. I presume it may also be unlikely due to the problems at the club, and also now looks like my team has a 45 minute slot open for a striker, which I hope can be filled.
stevegrant Posted 10 April, 2009 Author Posted 10 April, 2009 The number of people who are yet to pay can be counted on the fingers of one hand, so the money shouldn't be an issue. The payment we make doesn't actually go direct to SFC, it goes to Saints Event Management, which isn't part of SLH - if the worst happens, we'll simply get our money back.
forever a red and white Posted 10 April, 2009 Posted 10 April, 2009 appreciate your efforts but desperate to play
stevegrant Posted 11 April, 2009 Author Posted 11 April, 2009 As a note to Saint dyer, as I can't send you a PM, keep posting advertising spaces in your game and I'll keep deleting them - ultimately, I'll end up deleting you as well.
Griffo Posted 11 April, 2009 Posted 11 April, 2009 How many people still have to pay up? Also, aren't there 3 places remaining because of Magnet can't play now? Will the game still go ahead if there's still enough people to play but not to fill out the 16 man squad as I see there are still some places.
stevegrant Posted 11 April, 2009 Author Posted 11 April, 2009 Game will still go ahead - I'll look into either moving people from 45-minute slots to 90-minute ones to fill the spaces or getting other people in.

I took one of the two remaining spaces so I pressume that there is still two places left!
Arizona Posted 15 April, 2009 Posted 15 April, 2009 Aaagh. Just found out I've got May off work. Sadly for that reason I can't afford £230 for a kick around. Equally it isn't really worth driving down from Lincolnshire for 45 minutes of football. Have fun though all the same.
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 15 April, 2009 Posted 15 April, 2009 Steve did you get my message?.... are people going for h/g or s/g boots?
Griffo Posted 15 April, 2009 Posted 15 April, 2009 Everyone in the away team, buy the red shorts that are linked somewhere on here, and also try buy the grey away socks from the club shop. Would look proper that way and not have a type of 'kickabout' feel to it.

bpsaint Posted 15 April, 2009 Posted 15 April, 2009 Steve are there still places available? Didnt think i'd be able to make it but turns out I'm not working that week.

SaintNeil90 Posted 15 April, 2009 Posted 15 April, 2009 (edited) I will take one of those remaining places. Asked for 90 minutes but i will take that 45 minutes as striker for the away if its still available. Neil Edited 15 April, 2009 by SaintNeil90 because i cant spell
forever a red and white Posted 16 April, 2009 Posted 16 April, 2009 can friends just turn up on the turnstile to watch?

I took it from this: Quote Rough estimate of the number of spectators you will be bringing (this doesn't need to be precise' date=' we just need to give a rough estimate to the club)[/quote'] That spectators will be allowed... I've had a disturbing amount of people show an interest... I think they're hoping i break my leg... Still wearing soft ground boots i'll more likely roll my ankle...

The9 Posted 16 April, 2009 Posted 16 April, 2009 I've just asked Granty to email everyone re: home team plain black Umbro shorts and plain white Umbro socks option. As I've said on the Home Team social group, as long as we've got a majority agreed, I'll put up the cash up front, buy the stuff and everyone can pay me the £4 each on the day. If anyone's already got some of the plain kit (I saw Hamster has bought the plain white socks) then reply to the email saying so, then I'll have an idea of how many to buy. We're not going to be able to get the actual hooped socks home kit, though we should probably try to borrow it if we can and bring that on the day anyway, but this is the next best option. Oh yeah, and if anyone on the away team wants to borrow my grey Saints current away socks, PM. First come first served.

The9 Posted 16 April, 2009 Posted 16 April, 2009 JustMike said: can we not buy the actual proper shorts and socks from megastore then? Nope, there are very few pairs of shorts left in "normal" sizes and absolutely no hooped socks other than LB size. And the club isn't in an any position to be replenishing stock, of course. Steve said this on the initial post (possibly on the other thread actually).

Scudamore Posted 17 April, 2009 Posted 17 April, 2009 (edited) Hows about these socks for the home team? http://www.teamsportswear.co.uk/Socks/Stanno/sk_st_original.htm They're not bang on...but a darn sight closer than plain white sock...and only £3.70...i'm willing to put in a bulk purchase...

Nice, before you go ahead though, can we confirm that everyone is wearing them as I don't want to fork out again and still not all wear identical kit. I have 2 pairs now, Saints Black ones and plain whte. Shorts, I have a black Saints pair and again only really want to buy another pair if everyone is, having said that, it would be better if we at least look like a team even if we don't play like one. BTW you have your invite now, i had been drunking last night and forgot all about our PMversation.
