stevegrant Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 125 quid!? That's cheaper then football aid. I'ld be up for it. That was exactly my thought when I saw that it was £4k for the whole thing. I would potentially be willing to organise it, but would obviously need definite numbers.

Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 You could always do the old 22 players per team and do a complete swap at half time, therefore each person gets 45 mins... and the price comes down to £87 per head (including 2 managers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say so, yes. As far as I can tell, it's entirely up to the organisers (after all, it's your money!) as to how they want that side of things to be played.

Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 44 + people in each dressing room :-) No, 22. The article says you have sue of both dressings rooms, so no need to put all 44 in the same room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 Indeed, I thought that, so better to have 22 man squads each player getting a half (like Soccer Aid IIRC). Football Aid has squads of 16, with 5 pre-determined substitutions taking place at half-time. The people designated to sub on/off at half-time obviously pay less than those who play 90 minutes. Personally, I'd be sceptical that we'd get more than 30 people willing to pay £100-odd to play. With rolling subs, it's much more likely that the subs will play a bigger part in the game as you could rotate 2 from 3 outfield players at any one time being on the pitch, which in theory means that each of those three players would play an hour each.

Scummer Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 No, 22. The article says you have sue of both dressings rooms, so no need to put all 44 in the same room. Who's this Sue person? If she's fit I wouldn't mind spending time in the dressing room with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
