Bowie Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I know this has been suggested quite a bit and I personally think it's a cracking idea. Basically some games of 5 a side in Jon's honour, depending on numbers we could have a little tournement I reckon. It usually costs about £4.40 per man for a game of 5 a side at the Soccer Dome, but if all players hoy in a tenner then that's enough money for a Lockwood Cup trophy (which will cost next to nowt) and more importantly will put more money towards the SBR Foundation and towards the Cajun banner that people were suggesting for home games. Anyway, if we can get some numbers then I think we'll go from there, either at the Soccer Dome or The Parks, which have both been pretty empty over the last weekends that I've played there. I think Saturday the 16th of August, the weekend after Jon's birthday would be the best date that I have in mind at the minute, but obviously that's flexible if needs be. Who's in?

Interpolic Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think it's an ace idea, Andy. Re dates I think you might be being a bit ambitious wanting to have it in 2 weeks, but see what people say. I had been thinking myself about starting a thread trying to arrange a get-together, but miles in advance. There are lots of people on here that I've never met that I'd like to. Personally I could do with having 3 or 4 months notice as it would help with travel costs, etc. I feel like if we get a date in the calendar quite far ahead and keep on bumping the thread then we could hopefully get the maximum amount of people there, rather than just a handful. Anything short-notice and I immediately think "No". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 For reference I think the last red vs blues was about 5 months notice which was good. 3-4 should be OK. Definitely in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In! 16th August is canny swift, mind. I imagine a lot of people would like to partake and some time to arrange it all would definitely be needed I reckon. Trophy sorted, travel, pitch, everyone paid up...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In, although I think 16th Aug is last weekend of the NEPL cricket season, so I'd struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I mean, there's no way I can do that date. Would need to have few months notice. A lot of the non-locals will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm in... 16th no problem with me but like others have mentioned more notice probably needed to ensure the greater numbers that this occasion deserves... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I won't be able to get leave for August after checking at work. If it's after 1pm on any Saturday or anytime on a Sunday I'm good to go though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The date can be anytime really, suppose I was a bit ambitious with two weeks notice. Also, I've never played in a Red vs Blues game or anything like that and know nothing about who plays, could someone who does possibly send some PMs around to people that have played in them? I just wouldn't mind being able to get a list together in the OP that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 In. Regardless of whether I'm playing or "managing" again. But I agree with James, might be best to give a wee bit more notice to let as many as possible get involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Might not be in in a playing capacity (recovering from a broken wrist atm) but would like to be involved in this in some shape or form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Definitely will be there, but I'm in agreement that the date will need to be more like a couple of months away. I did send a PM to a few of the red/blue players a last week talking about this and the general consensus was to give a choice of two dates in a poll and that is it. If you start worrying about everyone being able to make the same date it will never happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sometime in October would probably give people enough notice? 19th or 26th since they're the day after home games incase people traveling up want to take in a game up here too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
