Optimistic Nut Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Who said it was shoddy? Thought it was very well ran. I'm up for the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Alright lads, just a quick one - I know a lot of us are keen to play again asap; however, I think a couple of points should be kept in mind: 1) This is primarily a social thing for the N-O forum members. Try not to get your mate's registered just so they can play - if for any reason we come up short of players within a day or so of the match, then we can start asking mates/non-NO people 2) The Reds v Blues rivalry is good fun but lets keep it as that and not the focus. 3) The next match is going to co-incide with a home game, the original plan was to do last home game of 08-09 & first home game of 09-10 but as the second match didn't go as planned, we've had another inbetween. In order to keep the...'interest' of this match high, it's been suggested that we spread 4-5 of these matches over the season. I'm thinking early season/pre-Xmas/start of 09/easter/end of season as a rough framework. (Those that want to play football more regularly, see the NOFC forum) 4) As mentioned in the other thread, there ARE going to be disappointed people when the date is chosen; however, by choosing the weekend of a home match, we're minimising the likelihood of a Newcastle United fan, on Newcastle United forum, not being in Newcastle on that weekend. There will be another one that you can look forward to, don't get arsey with people if the date doesn't suit. Fin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if we were overwhelmed with subs or forum members the other day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anytime other than 8th to 15th of August, otherwise I'm in. And I agree with not doing them too regularly. Will lose a bit of the 'edge' as it were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Rocker - it wasn't, there were jovial murmurings after the first couple of games about people getting ringers signed up to thr forum just to play. As for your comment about 'not having any subs', you've highlighted the reason why these matches shouldn't be too frequent, our non-Newcastle dwelling players are hardly going to make the extra effort to stay over/travel up for a match that's played every few weeks.

Guest Heneage Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 In theory for the most to turn up it would be best to organize them around home games, the Reading one being a prime candidate due to its late kick off. Too often would be boring, 3-4 a year would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Any Sunday I will try and get the day off. Position is anywhere central I don't like the wings. I'm happy to start as a sub given the reds win last time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I will play like, no dates are unavailable as of yet so I'd have to see when it is and see if I can make it then. I play in goal BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sunday Dinner teams I suppose you could say that about the blues - they had a yorkshire pudding at right back and a bloke with a boiled potato head up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yorkshire puddings are fucking mint anyway, and i doubt you'll find many who disagree. Shit metaphor if it was meant to be a dig. 100% in for this, btw. Agree with doing a poll for the dates, aswell: (Corresponding home fixtures in brackets...) Weekend of 8/9 August Weekend of 15/16 August ... (NUFC v Reading on Sat) Weekend of 22/23 August Weekend of 29/30 August Weekend of 5/6 September Weekend of 12/13 September Weekend of 19/20 September ...

Pilko Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I actually like Yorkshire puddings, and it was just because he said "Sunday Lunch team" ffs. How many other Sunday lunch type gags can I come up with from the eleven blue team players ffs? Nixon is more into Italian food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Would we be playing Sunday or very early Saturday? Either's fine by me really, more a question for those traveling a big distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not fussed tbh. Trains go like clockwork from York to Newcastle (assuming this is August sorta time and i'm not already living up there). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
