Summer tournament

Just wondered one if its possible? Two if so how do go about it? And three how many teams would be interested? Also it could all be for charity ie breat cancer or childrens homes..what you guys think?

Good idea, problem is a venue.
Might be easier as 6 a side and get it done in a day.
The teams that are interested could have a A and B team.

Yeah that way whole team can still be involved

Might be worthwhile approaching some charities and speaking to their funraising them.

Speaking from experaince, There noramlly very helpful and have the right contacts.

bullshead athletic are very intrested and i could a arange pitch! in box me your contact number and we<ll get it sorted

So many options here, do a full days worth of games, 11 aside…charge each player a fiver. You could get 8 teams involved, playing in two groups of 4 in a champs league style. 10 mins each way (total of 60 mins footie). Winners go through to play a 15 min each way semi and then final. You will get breaks in it, and the teams would raise minimum £440 just from the players involved. Charge people on the gate to come and watch as well (£2 a ticket) and you could double that amount. Anyone wanting to do a stall or hotdog stand could pay for the pitch….could be a really good day out for footie families!!! Happy to help if needed...

Plus get some sponsors involved....?

what would be the possiblity of using like Horsewell Lane for example...three pitches on the park...might make things easier

or Mowarce Hill and pretty Roundhill Community College do same

or and i am sure MDH sportwear wouldnt want to miss out on the opportunity

I think our lads would like to take part although at present we are thinking of taking part in a sponsored 'not scoring', we could easily treble NRIs predicted income

haha i was being conservative....but you are doing well on your sponsorship bud!! ;-)

MDH could even put a stall down there with footballs, boots etc there, or just take orders there for their products....opportunity knocks!!

yeah i reckon we should get this sorted there would be a few teams that want to take part and all for a good cause could potentially raise a few grand for a decent charity and im sure it would be greatly appreciated by them

We would be happy to take part and contribute as would most sides in the alliance i imagine.

im pretty sure we could get mowmacre both sides which has 4 pitches 2 on each side be a cracking day of football ill have a word with the council and see if they would be willing im pretty sure they would tho

See i have got a good heart and a brain with this thought...so ill have a word with few of my nri compatriates and see if we can get the ball rolling..the charity thought came from the fact my mum lost her mum to breast cancer and so now she fund raises for them so to me its big thing and to show my mum i care as well as avin a good nobble and weekend of footy

I only wear it whilst playing football

As well as your prejudice for those footballers who require headbands?

But Gok Wan tells me Red is so out this season.

Of all the designers I could think of I had to give you something. No comment on RED Being out though?

Red can never be out of fashion, especially on February the 14th.....i know its a bit early but...
as time goes by from year to year,
One thing is surely true, my dear;
though days do come and days do go,
just meeting you on here, sets me aglow.

Truly beautiful, will you be my valentine?

I'll be your Al Capone.........
