So are Darren and Phil...it's going to be a pincer movement.

The point is gents, no-one wants to do the job. It's all well and good saying people should 'man up' but they just won't unless they're forced to. Doing the job is a bit of a ball-ache and there is a bit of work to do; offering to cover subs is a reasonable compromise. The alternative is, I do what ...

Gus, are you really, genuinely, positively, absolutely 100% guaranteed to show up this week?

Cool, that's 5 already - aim is to hit 12 by Tuesday. Guess we should talk about succession soon..my 10 weeks is almost up. I've proposed an idea whereby anyone taking over the manager role gets their weekly subs paid in order to encourage people to step up. Thoughts? [ Post made via Mobile Device ...

Can amyone think of anyone else to ask? One more would make it an even 6 a side.

I'm back and in but doesn't look promising does it...

We'll have to count you out for now Saul; we need definite commitment. If we do get 14 and you're free, then by all means come along.

Sharply out of the blocks Al...good lad. Okay after last night's no shows which reduced us to 10 on the 7s, am going to try something else this week. I'm going to downgrade to the 5s straight away. That way, the first 10 to register are guaranteed to play. If we hit 14, before Tuesday, I'll try and ...

Thanks Al. Will post teams tonight.

Evening gents. Looks like we've got 8 so far this week...I'll wait until 7pm tomorrow then downgrade to the 5s unless we hit 12 players. If we have less than 12 then the first 10 will play but only those 10; there'll be no subs. So if you want to play this week post asap, guys. I won't be PM'ing ...

Evening. If people aren't keen on limiting numbers, that's fine. Just a way to encourage early commitment, plus I (and a few others) prefer playing 6s on the 7s; bit more space to play. All I'm really trying to do is get a stable, committed group together...at least 12 players we can rely on to turn ...

No probs Steve. I am actually out this week - apologies everyone. Mr. Swartz will deputise I'm sure. Please keep posting though. Your 7-a-side club needs you!

Got an idea...am thinking of capping the numbers at 14 next week; we'd play 6-a-side with subs or the 2 extra would mean cover for the inevitable odd no-show. It would mean first come, first serve and maybe encourage everyone to post asap...I think a lot of us prefer 6 a side anyway. [ Post made via ...

Tonight's runners and riders...

Colours:
Al / Jonny / Baz / Phil / Saul / Ric / Ben

Bibs:
Dan / Darren / Chris C / Gus / CycleSteve / Steve J / Frank

Starting subs:
Nigel (colours) and hopefully Fletch (bibs)

Sure thing Nige - you'll start the first 5mins as a sub though, if that's okay. We've got 14+ tonight.

Nope, we already had 12, so any extra is a bonus. Allows me to balance the sides nicely. Fletch if he turns up will be the first rolling sub.

Probably 14 if Fletch pitches up...

Nice one Frank, cheers. Might have a new guy next week; a recruitment agent I'm in touch with lives in Crystal Palace and says he fancies a game...so make sure you bring your CVs along for inspection. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] http://sydenham.org.uk/mobile.png [ Post made via Mobile Device ...
