I understand the point.
Re: Droidy - are you aware of the Victoria loop train? All it does all day long is go from Victoria to London Bridge stopping, amongst other places, at both Balham and Sydders. It takes 17 minutes and is a direct train. Only runs every half hour [38 and 08 from Sydders] but might help you out rather than cycling all the way and back? I'm sure it can be arranged to pick you up and drop you off at Sydders station.
Just a thought, your injury notwithstanding...

Yo yo yo!
I have no problems getting the train... it's been really good to have some time off from football as I badly sprained/broke my toe a could of months back. The last time I played it really hurt after 10 mins - so I really didnt let it heal properly. Unfortunately I am out for the 21st - due to a curry and beer evening which just slightly edges footy. I really appreciate you wanting me to be there, thanks for the transport advice too... hopefully I should be back soon with some new trainers and a new toe.
cheers guys
Roy.

Hope to see you soon then.
We'll see where we are come Monday PM but I have been toying with the idea of suggesting a mid-season break.
A good few of us played all through the Winter and I wonder if some of the injuries aren't purely due to the lack of a break? If you factor in Saul and Ben being out injured and then through injury/journey both Droid and Phil also not present. Lem away for the next fortnight and me (really sensibly needing to rest up)...
That's 6 of the reliable weekly turn-out already down. What do others think about a 2 week break to allow for injuries to be finally shaken off?
If we've enough players for the 5s then I'm up for it next week I'm just starting to think it might be a struggle each week...

I am available for next week, but if there aren't sufficient numbers with all the injuries then no problem.

I am in for next week if the numbers agree. Ulysses: I have 50 of the 30/500 spare if you want - I am around all weekend so you call/text me [frantic scrabbling about for new number, got it written down somewhere] on 07875 265563 - just don't take the forklift out whilst you're on them.

Im good for this weds but also agree that if we have a couple of weeks break to nurse our injured brothers, then fair dues.

Hello all, just back from a fortnight's holiday and am good for playing this Wednesday if it's on.
I should be available to play all Wednesdays now for the foreseeable future.

I'm hoping to be available on Wed but work is going to be really unpredictable this week and I probably won't know until Wednesday. So don't count on me when you make the decision about whether to play or not, but if the game goes ahead, you could do with another player and I'm free, I'll get in touch on Weds.
Sorry to be flaky

Welcome back Bazwaldo. Understood Chrelcombe and cheers Cyclesteve.
We are but 6 thus far; if we can creep to 8 or more I'll go ahead and book the pitch. Please can everyone be in time to post availability...as in tomorrow lunchtime?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry All, but to add injury to insult it pains me (literally) to have to pull out of this Weds due to the toe injury I got last week which I haven't really taken seriously but I am now considering I may have a broken bone in there somewhere as it has swelled up and is bloomin' painful.
Sorry , may be that sumer break is not such a bad idea.Trickster

Sorry to hear that Trickster. Hope it heals sharpish.
We're now 9; so I'll book the 5s pitch. Hopefully we get one or more further players coming forward. I don't mind what pitch we play on it would just be nice to have even numbers for the first time in a while. If we stay at 9 I'll come along and pay but not play...got to give the ribs rest where I can:
1, Ulysses
2, Columbus
3, Middlesborough
4, Cyclesteve
5, Fatbackfour
6, Bazwaldo
7, Diamondmaker
8, Donny
9, Tarbs

Then please come along Sydders.

I did reply to your PM asking that you post your availability...now that you've done it we look forward to seeing you and thank you for making us a nice round 10 tonight.
See you there.
Best,
Gregory
