An idea...who'd be interested?

First topic message reminder :

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

I'm always up for a game. I play 5-a-side 2 or 3 times a week and I'm training for a half marathon at the moment, so best stick me on the opposite side to Dono I think!

Damn, I traded it in for a Cloak of Invisibility last week.

Do you want to borrow a couple of my zimmer frames for goalposts?

I'm in.... 5 minutes of football.... THEN ON THE LASH!!!!!!!!!

On the lash while playing though right Trash? Think how great you'll be at the traditional two-pint peak.

I played Sunday league almost 20 years ago. Remember injuring our player/coach in a Pre season knock about. Timing has been something of an issue from time to time.
Based in Ireland nearly eight years now, so logistics are something of a problem too.

Beer makes me simultaneously, attractive, clever and athletic

Rhys old boy, can this go out on the next RBMB email? See if we can pick up some of the less regular posters.

Absolutely Arkay - great shout.
Should we fix a date first?

How does Saturday 27th April sound to everyone? That's the last home game against Bolton.

One assumes it will be party time at the CCS then...

Could play at Gol over in Leckwith.

Too modern for me sorry. There's just no atmosphere or soul. I would much prefer we play at Roath Rec.
