Who would be interested in having a one off game of footy midweek with teams made up purely of forumers???

It would probably be best in the new year but I know the perfect pitch and it could be a good laugh. maybe get other forumers down to watch and all go on the pish afterwards?

Anyone interested???


EDIT:

Details are as follows.

the match will be held on the 13th of Jan at 8pm for an hour. This means getting there earlier to sort the teams and start dead on 8.
its at Abbeydale Sports CLub on Abbeydale rd South.
this (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&search_result=&db=pc&cidr_client=none&lang=&keepicon=true&pc=S173LJ&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch=S17+3LJ&addr3=&addr1=) is a map on how to get there. all are welcome to come and play or watch from the stand. But if you intend on playing you have to let me know on this thread beforehand.

would be to many people legs id like to have lol..... but yeah im up for it

perhaps united vs weds?? with people who support other teams filling up weds squad ha ha

You know my answer kidder!

:thumbsup:

I'm away with work a lot in Jan-feb tho, and then off to Australia for three weeks, so keep me posted on dates.

Baggsie Spyro on our side (he's a foreigner too!)

I'm sure the Cardinal will be up for this too.

Actually, I think I remember seeing that Matt1989 (1889?) is a ref.....

are you interested then kirky?

i work with a ref, he lives in donny but i can ask if he knows anyone who will ref the match!


liencam, my emails screwed at the moment but will try again tonight (work blocks all emai sites).

let me know the dates your available for!!

I can't do:

10-11 Jan (London :clap: )
24-25 Jan (Leicester :gag: )
31-01 Jan/Feb (Middlesborough :gag: )
07-09 Feb (London :clap: )
10 Feb - 06 Mar (Australia :banana: )

Yeah, I'm up for this and will obviously be on the 'foreigners' nee 'mercernaries' team.

Like Liencam, there may be some dates/time I can't make because of travelling with work but if I get enough notice, I should be able to work round that...

Come on Sheffielders - "let's be 'avin' you" (to paraphrase Delia!) ;) :clap:

i aint played for about six years and come to think of it i wasn't that good when i was at my peak:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:


i was more of a vinny jones type player:D

Count me in :D :D

I'm interested, depends on my shifts at work.

Can people specify what side they'd be playing for - either 'Sheffield' or 'foreigners'. Then we'll have rough idea of numbers on/for each team. Cheers. :D

Foreigners for me :D

Steel City Wizards for me (provided we can play in a nice blue and white kit!!!!!!).


Only kidding by the way.

Sheffield for me though.

Foreigners.
Want to mark Angelus.

Just in case


Baggsy being in goal :thumbsup:


I can also play in midfield aswell. Im hoping it will be 5 a side or something, unfortunately im a bit of a short arse for 11 a side nets :(

apparently it only costs about £100 to book out the big pitz pitch for 11-a-side......

anyways.... we gonna get this on the roll?

aye but we are still pretty short on numbers...

cant believe no one else fancies playing!!

Well there have been 8 people who have shown interest so far. Could the scottf confirm who he wants to play for

Could do with a few more sheffielders, even though this is meant to be a Sheffield forum :confused:

Ill update the list as more posters post :thumbsup:

i MAY be up for this... but i havent played in sooooooooo long that it would be embarrasing. and i doubt i could handle a FULL SIZE pitch.. id prob have a heart attack!

how bout 5 a side?

and being as though i was born in romford, london.. i guess id be a foreigner.

Perhaps the Mods could get up a team too... the tackles would be interesting to see:P :P :P

there would be casulties!! im sure theres a few on here that often do football or something else...but last time i tried an 11 v 11 i nearly died and had to collapse at half time. ok i do sometimes run around like a headless chicken...but still..ive done a fair bit of fitness and sports before and im sure there will be a few older codgers that will die before me ;) lol

ive just found my boots in the attic.. so im well up for 5 a side at pitz.

I'll provide the commentary :clap: :thumbsup:

Originally posted by Robbie_Lovin

Id play 11 a side, but Id personally prefer 5 a side. Im not fit nowadays. Also had a pretty nasty injury when i used to play youth team footy down at the Wolves (:gag: )

Plus, I dont expect everyone to turn up who has said they will, we all know it happens ;)

if we can get a date banded around then we could try to see what would work best for people... i have few commitments..but could do with knowing with as much advance as possible.

14th or 21st of jan? playing on a saturday afternoon?

Thats cool with me. I can do any saturdays.

Any more for any more?

Lol, its all getting a bit official now isnt it.

The colour thing is a decent idea. Maybe we should concentrate on actually getting the event up and running first ;)

ok i shall go have some food and put my clipboard away ;)

lets get it done before xmas.......

5-a-side down at pitz sounds good to me......
get kirky reffing and we could get pitch for about an hour at £30 between us all.......

Where the hells Preach anyway? Comes up with the initial idea and buggers off leaving the rest of us to do his dirty work :rant:

hey been busy,

i have already thought of colours, white for sheffield and dark blue/black for foriegners...


i know of 2 decent pitchs for 8 a side which is prob the best option!

i was thinking midweek but what do people prefer??

saturday/sundays are best for me usually.. but its possible that i could do midweek. but it means people rushing about after work and such and trying to find the place. good colour choices...i have plenty of black stuff (im into rock...i guess it has to be done)

What a great idea.

I am up for it, I should be available most days as I work in Sheffield and control my own shifts etc....

I can play either 5-a-side or 11-a-side, I currently play in goal for a Sunday league side and played at the pitz in Div 1 for about 5 years.

I have access to a kit if we need one as I run our local Sunday team. Let me know if you need any help.

if its on place of birth - I'm in the foreign side then - I'll bring my non-UK passport along :)

I thought it was on current location - I'm Sheffield resident whilst in the UK.

I'm a goal keeper too - but prefer to play up top

ok, im confused, i was born ere, went to oz wen i was 2 n come back ere when i was 13, so id class for any team ya?

Alreet, well the sheffield team get there very own Rynaldo.. ;)

Are we going for 8-a-side then? Don't know how old the rest of you are but I'm pushing 43 so I'm not likely to be a box-to-box 90 minutes type of guy ;)

Im not too keen on a full 11 a side either. I suppose we can aim for 8 a side at the most, and if we o get too many people we can just split into teams of 3 or 4 :thumbsup:

i'll play midfield me thinks... anywhere but in net.. :) doesnt do my glasses any favours being broken. again!

Sorted, let me know if there is any mistakes.

Or even better, rectify the mistakes yourself and post it :thumbsup:

Hi,

Seems to be getting heated !!!!

I could play for either team, I work in Sheffield, born in Swinton, live in Mexborough (Sheffield Post Code, Doncaster Council Tax).

I'll let the organisers decide who I should play for.

who's omni...and why are you his present :suspect:

Because omni has been very good this year....

ok to clear up any confusion.

If you were born in Sheffield or its surrounding areas you are on the sheffield team!

If you were born anywere else then you are on the foriegners team irrespective of where you live now!!!

We still need some more players for the Sheffield team, come on guys i know sheffield isnt exactly known for producing exciting football talent but there must be some more of you who know how to kick a ball????


oh with myself and liencam attacking you guys dont stand a chance!!

The line ups seem pretty even at the moment Preach, if my update is correct that is, no doubt its not, but oh well.

i see the foreigners are getting a bit cocky with there boasting of there silky skills....... time to show them what we are made of sheffield boys

although i was not born in sheffiled shhhhhhh

Put me down for Sheffielders - as long as I know in advance I'll make sure I'm not working :)

Pesky e-mail updates and lack of time to get on to the forum..... Anyway, I've been allocated to the wrong team also and will be playing for the 'Foreigners'.

And Sheffielders - I wouldn't worry about the attacking skills of either Preacherman or Liencam. I play regularly with them and the words 'cow' and 'banjo' come to mind!! ;) :clap:

ah clever plan cardinal, lull them into a false sense of security...:suspect:

aye....the 'mind games' start here and now...... ;) :clap:

Can I just say, colours aren't an issue*.

We've got 12 flourescent bibs, that the Sheffielders can wear, so I reckon we should all wear our club colours, just to see the representation.

It'd be funny if we had more Blades than Owls though - especialy as the Owls always bang on about having more fans.

*Guderian, no Man Ure shirts mate.

:hihi:

Nah, I'll sit a little deeper and pick them apart for you and Owlsman.

aye sounds good to me with you running the midfield,

the Sheffield Shrimps are in for a hiding!!
Us Foriegn Fighters are going to destroy them!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok lets talk dates, before christmas is no good for most people so how about;

weekend

the 7th, 8th, 14th or 15th

midweek

the 10th, 13th (a friday so drinks afterwards would be good :thumbsup: ), 16th, 17th

?????


personally i reckon the 13th as we could all have a couple of pints afterwards. whats does everyone else think??

Friday the 13th has a nice ring to it.

"The Forum Massacre"

i completely missed that one :suspect:
but friday the 13th sounds ideal!!

It works for me.......

13th is good for me too :D

I was born in rotherham but live in sheffield now- not sure what team im on!!

I play at the back or on the left side of midfield :D

scot you would be on the sheffield team (im really sorry:P ), as you were born too close...

no need to be sorry mate- im not :D

bring it on!!!!

where are we going to have the match?

Dont be daft. I dont go in for all that day tripper garbage.
I leave that to Angelus.
Oh, thats right, he doesnt go........

13th sounds good...

i have a couple of options for places to play. there is a decent sized pitch behind the netto and B&Q on the edge of town or my preference would be the pitch at the sports club on Abbeydale rd South. It is a cracking venue and has a stand if some forumers wanted to come and cheer us on.


both will be pretty cheap but if anyone else has a suggestion im happy to look into it.

is that the squash club then? last time I played there it cost a bloody fortune for a pitch - then again we did hire the entire surface for 2 1/2 hours :)

how about the footy pitch near weston park hospital???

13th is ok for me.. but i have no car and am out near crystal peaks.. so most of these options for pitches to me are in the middle of nowhere....and places ive never even really heard of!!

whats wrong with pitz?

Arent the pitches at Pitz quite small?

well ive only been a couple of times... they are 5 a side pitches but i wasent sure if they have any bigger ones.

im just worrying about getting somewhere when its arranged... unless someone can drive by city centre and pick me up and drop me back off.. (i can get bus to town) or i'll be wandering round llike a lost sheep :hihi:

If anyone needs picking up (apart from MTheo) Im all up for it, im sure there will be some other drivers aswell :thumbsup:

ohhh well its looking like 13th jan.. dont know when, dont know where.. but im s20 so lift would be apprieciated... although im classed as a foreigner ;)

from what i know the pitz are prety small.

The SWD pitch sounds good to me (behind Netto & B&Q) as it's on my door step. Can't promise I'll be able to make it on a weekday though but I'll do my best.

Please please please let's not play 5 a side - it's crap and you usually end up more knackered than on a full pitch :)

Weston Park pitches are good. in fact i have just played there.
If anyone is a student, you could prob get discount.

pitz are very small, in fact id prefer 4-a-side if was to play on there......

as for the pitches, not got a name for em, but il try find out

Weston Park have 1 very small pitch - 4 a side tops. Not good. And about 8 other pitches.The other pitches are bigger- high quality astro - I play 6 a side there Monday nights - and you get a lot of space with those numbers on these.

Perhaps we can sort of do a little mini league of about 4 mini teams?

forget the mini league its about 8 a side!!

the reason the pitches at abbeydale are so good is they have proper boundaries for throw ins and corners!!

Well im up for anything. so lets get this sorted :)

ok will ring up tomorrow and book somewhere for the 13th!

will post when its booked, we can worry about numbers afterwards

Sounds good preacher man!!!! :D :D


I can just see us lot running around the pitch shouting out each others forum names- bet any people near will wonder what the hell is going on :hihi:

ok here is the resluts of most of the mornigs spent on phone calls and searching on google, good job the oracle databse has not worked all last week and this week!!!


Abbeydale Sports Club (provissionally booked but we can cancel), 8 till 9 is all thats available.
half full size pitch, ideal for 8 aside.
costs £35.25 for the hour

Pitz too small

Aroura too far

Goodwin (Sheff uni) no answer left message.

Don Valley this is next to pitz and is a floodlit full size grass pitch. if we can get the numbers could be a good option!!
there getting back to me on availability and price.

Concord the open pitches, but are only 1/3 of a full size. cant see more than 6 a side on them, 7 at a push.
am going to provissionally book it for 1 1/2 hours from 7pm
costs £65

I couldnt find out the phone number for the one behind the B&Q!

what do you all think?? any suggestions to anywhere else i could try?

what about aurora sports club- thats a fully lit one- its in brinsworth not for from meadowhall!!!

Abbeydale sound good - a couple of quid apiece and they've got a bar ;)

Anyone without transport its on the 97 bus route on Abbedyale Road just after the train station...

scott, i dont know if its too far our for people but i will ring it and find out the details!

These is some new pitches just off queens road too i believe- thay might be a bit small though!!!

the ones behind queens rd are pretty good, i have to wait till 6 for the right bloke to come in so i can find out price etc...
there the SWD club


Someone is going to have to find the number for aurura, i cant find it on google or yell.co.uk

Abbeydale sounds good. My pref is for Goodwin (Weston Park Hosp) but either is fine.

Up at concorde would not be too bad actually. i think it could possibly stretch to 8 a-side. it is quite spacious for what we used to play (6-a-side) would be perfect for 7, but 8 is a possibility

as for aurora
Firth Rixson Aurora Sports Club
Bawtry Road
Brinsworth
Rotherham
S60 5ND
Tel:01709 372613

aurora is a bit far out for us non drivers!

i will wait and see what venue people say the most before confirming.

the top 3 seem to be;

concord (1/3 sized pitch)
abbeydale (1/2 sized pitch)
SWD behind queens rd (enclosed 7 or 8 a side pitch)

You are welcome to the lift MTheo. So the 13th it is then and as i cant wear Blue & white it appears the England shirt will be on.

football shirt wise i only have 3.. and they all west ham.. so its white and claret, claret and blue, and light blue and claret.... not much diversity there! i'll just wear a black t-shirt or sumat.

follow London Road, Abbeydale Roa d out of the city to the South - stay on it past the train station 'Dore' - past the Chrysler garage at the bottom of Twentywell lane and its on the right hand side.

the secret weapon is still to come.....

matt i dont believe plays football at all.

he pm'd me saying he plays proffesionally.

so all the lads on my team you know who to put the late challenges into!!


i will ask the ref from work if he can reccomend anyone and how much it will cost tomorrow!!

we also have slugger (robbie) for our net

and.......

is robbie a fantastic keeper then?

er..... i hear he has never played football before :clap:

im not worried, you sheffield folk will probably try and play cricket or something instead :hihi:

why? what are we meant to be playing??

This I have to see purely for the injuries inflicted by Kirky :hihi:

Have you seen The Subs Bench? (http://members.cox.net/jonwaller3/cheerleaders.jpg) :o

So it's decided then :)

Not sure if I own any white clothes but I'm sure I can stretch to buying a top before then unless someone comes up trumps with the kits.

Someone needs to organise a large 11 a side game for later in the year on a grass pitch as well so we can have some proper challenges :D

I've only played a handful of times since breaking my foot in two places so should be amusing...

www.owlstalk.co.uk have a team - of which I am a player.

If you want a game against us, I would be happy to arrange it.

whoever is in charge of the team, pm me and we'll sort something out.

cheers.

Originally posted by fnkysknky

which foot then? just curious :D

nah it shouldt be a dirty game and hopefully there will be a ref.

Is this still a go-er?

Is it being played on grass or on the astro pitches at Abbeydale?

Do the Sheffield Folk side have enough players? I'd be up for it if we are still short on that side

UPDATE

If more than 8 players for each side pick up we will use a rolling sub system.

This also helps for the less fit amongst us (myself included)


miwinter its at abbeydale astroturf. the details are a few posts above. :thumbsup:

OK... I guess I will keep an eye on what happens with numbers then. It might spoil it if there end up being too many, otherwise there'll be changes every 5 minutes and people wouldn't get much of a game really.

The more the merrier.

On the pitch we use, 7/8 a side is usually a decent number.

5 is deffinitely too few.

get yourself along! its def a case of the more the merrier :thumbsup:

is everyone staying around for a few drinks afterwards- if we are ill get the g/f to drop me off (any anyone else who is coming from the town centre)

Leigh, don't know about player, you certainly are a member ;)

scott im up for a few drinks afterwards. there is a bar there or back in town im easy.

wherever is easyest for everyone i guess :D

I have put the date in my diary and should be able to make it barring major issues.

I am not bothered which team I play for but I play Sunday League and 6-a-side in goal for the past 7 years. I may even be able to bring a kit along.

I should be able to give a few people a lift from the city centre should they need it as I will be working just up till 7.30 in Sheff. First 3 to PM me will get a lift.

I will then be going back to Mexborough if anyone wants a lift back that way (Rotherham etc..).

Anyone else noticed most of the Sheff team comprises of Blades :)

You're obviously classed as a Sheffielder.... :D

sounds good mate :D :D

Yeah- all the wednesday fans are in hiding :D :D

Think we might be best staying up that way for a drink - don't fancy going round town in a football kit on a friday night :)

good point actually!! :D :D

I'd be up for it if you're still looking for players. Only just seen the thread.

Technically a Foreigner I guess.

No problem mate- i can get our lass to take us up there- not sure about afterwards- i might be a little bit too stiff to hit the town- lol!!!

thats why you should be out drinking.....

how about every player is forced to down a can of lager at half time??

it would make the 2nd half more fun and would seperate the men from the boys!!

if you puke your off...


Kirky, you could act as drinks referee making sure everyone has drank their can. Its a unique refereeing oppurtunity...

read above from preacher......

im up for this.... but id rather down it out of a pint pot, not a fan of downing out of cans

or..... everytime a team concedes a goal down half a pint :D

Spyro, with regard to your list, is there any positions anyone actually wants?

It would make sense that I play for the foreigners to balance things up a bit, after all I am a Rotherham lad, even though the Blades fans often call it ''a small town in Sheffield''.

Decision made, I am a foreigner!!!!

Bring it on Sheffield!!!
