MKSC Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Perfect Football weather mate, dont want it too warm when your playing...end up dead after 20 minutes. I prefer it to be warm, relaxes the muscles more. By the look of you I'd say your muscles are well and truly relaxed. BOOM! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Have they put a time down for the earliest we can get on the pitch? I'd imagine they'll let us on it about quarter to 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Terrible he says after a season's worth of professional football, as well as pretty much 2 months worth of Joe Public playing 12 hours straight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCONA Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Tbh, I thought it was absolutely lush to play on (was it going to be anything else?) but you could definitely see it had a fair bit of wear.. and that was after 2 or 3 days? They are having matches very regularly on it though; 2 teams were leaving as we came in, and the next teams were on ~30 mins after we'd finished our game.

Kaizero Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Can't make it. Originally offered my spot to Rocker a good while ago but he couldn't get off work. If anyone wants a spot just PM me, would prefer to be reimbursed fully but just say what you'd be willing to dosh out for it (if anything) and you might get lucky.
