An idea...who'd be interested?

Right, so, a thought occurred. For various reasons, we weren't able to arrange a get together for the GLORIOUS Awards Ceremony last year but how about this...

A RBMB five-a-side game.

Now, I effectively stopped playing football at 29 due to injury but I would come out of retirement for one last hurrah on the basis that this would just be a kickabout with some mates, nothing too serious (we might end up being over-subscribed in the goalie department - an RBMB exclusive! ). It'd give us a chance to say hello, put names to faces (if you want to, of course) and pretend that we're good footballers for an hour.

I was thinking we wait until end of April/May as it gives plenty of time to make plans, it won't be so cold if we want to play outside PLUS - and here's the main reason - City might very well be promoted by then. If we play Saturday morning, we could grab some food/beer/meth and then head off to the CCS to watch and bask in our promotion triumph*

We don't have to do all of that, of course, but it's just an idea. Who'd be interested? I reckon we need 8-10 absolute definites to make it work. It could be a good laugh and I'd very much want to see Red perform a Rabona, Trash fall over his own two feet and Lenwicks Welsh Gran be a 'fox in the box'.





*I feckin' hope

Cracking idea Arkay....I would be well up for it.

Come on everyone - it would be brilliant!

i am tentatively up for it but would like to be subbed quite early on due to my age and the last time i played footy i was at school. also i live in bristol so there may be logistical difficulties so if you are over subscribed my nose would not be put out of joint
would always watch & beer

Well, yes, I'd play for as long as my knee wouldn't buckle! It would be just for shits and giggles really.

And I live in London too but hoping the time frame might give people chance to organise time off/transport, that kind of thing. I'll put you on the list for now Dave and thank!

Also tentatively up for it, especially if I can play in goal - some years since I last played! (I reserve the right to sit down, rest and throw up while everyone plays on around me).

well you are international captain

Yeah, no problem I would be in, but I think we failed miserably last time we tried to arrange a kickabout.

Could play at Gol over in Leckwith, before Trash treats us to lunch at Bully's.

I've got about 5 spare pairs of moulded stud boots for the astroturf if anyone wants a lend? (Plus balls, bibs, etc.)

Awesome!

We appear to have six keepers and no outfield players.

I hung my boots up 18 years ago and am presently waiting for a new hip, so maybe I'll have to sit this one out ................it's also a bit of a hike from France to Leckwith

I fear that my age, as well as the fact that I still play and I regularly run long distances, may put me at a distinct advantage. If you like you can have 6 keepers and I'll play against myself?

I regret that my age has taken much from me, to the extent that spectating is my only activity.

I'm in, attacking midfeild role for me,

Judge dRed surely has to be the ref?

Only if I can have a hover board like the green goblin.

G-Ster, do you have a spare hoverboard as well?

Dono - we'll play 9 v 1 and you'll still beat us
