stevegrant Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Morning all I've now got most of the details for this year's forum match at St Mary's, which will take place on Thursday 27th May, kick-off 18:45. The details are very similar to last year. There will be two squads of 16, with six 90-minute slots on each team, the remainder being 45-minute slots. The cost for a 90-minute slot will be £240 The cost for a 45-minute slot will be £120 The cost for a manager will be £50 The reason the cost has gone up slightly this year (£10 and £5 respectively) is because, as yet, we have not reached agreement with the club over the cost of the kits, which are included in the price. At the moment, they are only offering us a 10% bulk discount on current RRP - considering they will probably be reduced to a tenner in a month or two, that's not an offer that is acceptable to me. As a result, we have had to budget for a bit more than last year just in case, but any excess can either be refunded pro-rata once we do know how much it'll be, or it can be donated to charity instead. Initially, this event is open to Full Members Only - Full Members have until Noon on Friday 19th February to register their interest. If there are still spaces available when this deadline passes, it will be opened to ordinary Registered Users. Those who are successful in their applications will need to pay their money by Noon on Friday 5th March - this is a longer time period than I really want, but it does allow for those who get paid right at the start or end of the month to get the money together. Full Members are invited to register their interest via email to playatsms@saintsweb.co.uk - applications should contain ALL of the following information: Forum Username Real Name Contact E-Mail Address Contact Phone Number Age (don't worry, I won't tell anyone ) Three Preferred Positions, in order. Positions are GK, RB, LB, CB, RM, LM, CM, ST, or a general DF or MF is fine (and more flexible ) Preference of 90 or 45 minutes Willing to accept different duration if preferred slot is unavailable Playing standard - this is so I can try to balance the teams as much as possible Any questions? UPDATE 19th Feb As the deadline for Full Member registrations has passed, I am now throwing this open to all members of the forum. Please note that at the time of writing, there are only TWO slots left, both of which are 45-minute defensive positions. UPDATE 25th Feb All places are now filled, with provisional lineups below. Those without a squad number next to them show either that they have not responded to my payment details email or that they responded but did not choose a number. If the latter, not too much of an issue, if the former, I need to know that everyone has received the email and will make the payment on time. UPDATE 29th Mar A place has become available, left-midfield for the home team (90 minutes). Anyone wishing to take this place, please get in contact asap.

Griffo Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Probably going to go for it again. I will register my interest straight away but am unsure about being able to pay for it or not, but the registering is not a commitment to pay, right?

Hmm wonder what the rules on yellow cards are? Did Hants FA's fine get through last time? Wouldn't want them turning up on the night collecting emergency bail out funds for the other team in Hampshire Would there be an eligibility issue? But fellas - just ONE really SERIOUS thing - can we PLEASE find somewhere better for a late beer than that hideous "80's bar/club thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton Saint Posted 12 February, 2010 Share Posted 12 February, 2010 Should I or Shouldn't I play again?

OldNick Posted 14 February, 2010 Share Posted 14 February, 2010 (edited) i have emailed to be manager again and hope to be chosen.Perhaps the9 and me could make a managerial team, although Iam disappointed that he is not playing.! of the few finishers on the night, as in goalscoring wheras Hamster finishes peoples footballing careers with his tackling. I hope in the main the sides can be the same and revenge gained, I assume Phil will be choosing the ref and linesman again and the ability to make subs without the officials knowing. Influenced, the 9 ,Griffo , Andy (Mr Utility) Porter and Ooh Terry Foxy and all the rset of my stars have got to play together again , and DrogBaj should again be up front fighting through his many injuries.Revenge has to be allowed to prevail...........Do i hear Fordies old knees starting to loosen for the night as well?

Bit worried already, haven't heard much from BigDaveWatson since he came on, dropped in the hole and turned the game around. Still with Distintegration87 having moved to Frankfurt and unable to read enough German to complete the forms to get on-line at the moment think we will lose our classy footballing CB but you will lose the chance to mug him for a dodgy ball to hand penalty. Is it true that the rules have changed since last year and that all football team managers in Hampshire have to attend some specialist training camp in Horton Heath?
