I should be free for 24 June (with bibs and spare ball), though I won't know for sure until towards the end of next week. Happy to pay my share of the cost up front.
As you know, I can't do 17 June.
5-a-side footie
i agree Marathon, but I can't force people to turn up. Work commitments and other stuff gets in the way. I really appreaciate your efforts, and I will try and get some additional interest generated so I can re-book the pitch for the 17th.
The trouble is that the responsibililty for payment lies with me, so if no-one turns up I get a bill for £58.70 (or whatever). Obviously after last week my confidence is dented, but I'm more than willing to carry on if we get the numbers.
(I still have the 'mini-bus crash' excuse to play in a no-show situation, but I was told that would be in very bad taste)
As Marathon says, this can still be re-booked for the 17th, so please post your availability if interested.........
C'mon guys, don'tlet me name and shame some of the original team members. we have had some excellent weather for our previous matches and a few shandies afterwards.
...and where are the ladies?

Hi Scott, let me recap who is available for the 17th...
Ali B
Scott
Scotts FBIL
Marathon, +2
That's 3 a side at the moment and more importantly £10 each if this is to go ahead ( a bit steep).
Another 2 volunteers (minimum) and I'll go ahead and book it for the 17th and the price then goes down to around £7.50 each for 4 a side , or £6 each if we can get 10 people confirmed.
C'mon peeps , show some mettle and get your shin pads at the ready.
Please post your availability
Where is Trickster, Chazza, Sydenham, Sydenhamboy, Southernmoose, Rojackrd, Parklife, Donny + Paul and brother?

This seems a bit disappointing after our initial success. From the original responses at the start of the thread we appeared to have a pool of around 15-18 players who wanted to play.
At this point I'm not booking the pitch for the 17th as we only have 7 confirmed players (thanks to those who responded). I'm not even sure at this stage, that even if we could get one more player, whether we could book a pitch at this stage.
Looking ahead to the 24th, there have been 5 positive responses:
AliB
Parklife
Thomas
Biscuiman
Bensonby
Another 3 players(minimum) would convince me to book.
(From the first posts and the first match or two, i thought this would be a breeze to organise, as it settles into a routine. Actually, it's becoming a bit awkward as people go on holiday or have work commitments and I don't get the confirmed numbers 'til fairly late and it's becoming a gamble (with my £58.90) as to whether we go ahead from one week to the next. Here's hoping the 24th becomes a 'goer')

I'll Commit to the 24th
Count me +1 for the 24th.. will put money up in advance.
Ok the pitch is booked for 8pm Kick off on June 24th.
i have just spoken to Alex the manager who says i owe him £60 for the june 10th booking where we had a lack of numbers.
I told him that was bollo, because I spoke to him and Ben at the time and they said that would be fine., because of the tube strike.
I'll wait to hear back from the guy and update you on the position. We may have to go tooled-up on the 24th and ready for some friction with the staff.
I'm confident of a happy outcome though,..... (before it gets to a physical confrontation)
OOOPs, I spoke too soon. I am now in posession of an invoice for £58.90
I've emailed the centre to see if they are going to pursue this as the letter wants payment within 7 days, else a withdrawl of booking priveleges.

Apologies, apologies, apologies, was away at a wedding for a long weekend and spent yesterday trying to sort out a new job so haven't been checking the forum.
I thought I had confirmed my availability for tonight while we were in the bar watching the footie last week.
Anyway, looks as though tonight is a no go now. I am available next week as well though so let me know what you want to do about money upfront. Cheers Dickie
