Ackey Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Gentleman, Next Sunday (22-07-2012) at 12:30 we will be having an imformal kick about in Hyde Park, in the hope of rousing interest in a five aside team in the near future. The standard will be poor and after match drinking encouraged! If you want to come but don't know me face-wise send me a PM and I'll give you my number!

Ackey Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Plan is to aim for a Five aside team on a Monday, weekly (described best as incompotent but keen). The kick about is just to try and drum up some interest. But that said if people are willing I'm always game for a kick about!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Where would you be looking at playing? I could probably got a body or two from work if it was Westminsterish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I might come along. I've got the first five yards in my head. Can't play Monday nights, so you're basically looking at someone who can give the youngsters a run for their money in the rigorous selection test. I'll drink all of yous under the table, btw. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If I do come along, which I actually may, honestly, I mean it, I hope you realise I'll be bringing boots and shinnies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah, count me in. So far that is 4, so two v two!! You're going down Cartwright!! Disclaimer.. I am a cricketer by trade, and therefore do not play sport in the rain. Just putting that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Oh and Ste, update your location.... You'll not last long on the field if you're from Didsbury "you dirty northern ......" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Cartright - I concur! I shall have boots and shinnies! Don't do things by half! Paul - if it's playable for 20/20 you can man the :censored: up! Andy - short term we will be playing centrally wherever we can find a spot of grass. Long term 5-aside I think it will likely be Central / West as that's where I'm based... but if me having to tube to the Center somewhere means we get better numbers I'm game!

peter_headen Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Away this weekend but up for it in the future - expect Ben would be too. I am very poor footballer but I do make an excellent goalpost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Mark - I'm terrible at cricket but I'm willing to stand and drop catches somewhere out the way! Let me know! Football - Someone pointed out last night that Hyde Park might be a no-go due to the Olympic Park they're building there... if someone knows different that's great but we might want to set up an alternate?

I think you will be fine. There are restricted areas where they are having concerts but the events won't be getting in the way yet and there is plenty more of it to go at. Only problem might be Will building a shrine to The Boss and Paul McCartney in the middle of the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
