stevegrant Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 Evening all As some of you may or may not know, I run an internet Saints supporters team, who play occasional games against other fans teams during the season. We are playing in a tournament alongside 63 other teams over the course of this coming weekend in Leeds - unfortunately, we've come across a problem; a lack of players due to a combination of factors. If anyone fancies a weekend in Leeds playing football, please get in touch ASAP. There is B&B accommodation available on-site, so you don't need to find a hotel or anything like that. My e-mail address is steve@stevegrant.co.uk Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 as an aside, got an SMS to say our fitness training starts 17 August (from the Monday , 2hours a day for two weeks, aaargh)... But as I'm in the UK I'll miss it, but if you see a centre forward running up and down the steps at SMS before the Millwall game, ... that will be me!

thefuriousb Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 Isn't this a damning indictment of your ambitions? I mean, coming on here begging for people to turn up with boots?!

The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Sitting here alll sweaty in my Saints kit after our 3x 30 minute matches, I'd just like to point out that due to an hilarious quirk of fixtures and results, we actually knocked Man U out on goals scored despite them wiping the floor with us. Very very funny indeed, as the difference between 1st and 3rd was 1 goal, Man U only beat Kiddie (B) by 2 and us and Exeter stuffed them. Anyway, best bit about getting through to the cup is a lie-in til 10am. Nice to see the pros putting in a performance too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Careless. Get knocked out ASAP to maximise drinking. Despite some people being out til 4am and our first kickoff being 9:20, we were 3-0 up at half time in our first match. Seasoned Worldnet performers! No-one drinks on Sundays after Sat night in Leeds and the drive home, Snday is all about getting up late - Man U may have an 8:30am kick off!!!
