How are we for numbers? Not a maths guy - do we need anyone else?

#29

Just been told that Billy is bringing a mate. We have 25 confirmed players now. One more and both teams would have 2 subs, which would be perfect.

#30

Bringing one more - we’re all set!

#31

I’ve got a spare blue shirt with me in case anyone bringing extras is in need of kit

#32

Result: Reds 0 - Blues 2

Goals by Billy’s mate Tom and Matt.

Was a good game that, very even, wish we’d have had the full 90

#34

Double booked the pitch like a bunch of knobheads innit. Hoogy went full mental at them, they won’t be making that mistake again…

#37

oh shit, so you only got one half/60 mins? That’s annoying - we’ve booked there like a million times, what a fuck up!

#38

The other lot had booked a half-pitch so we did a bit of 8-a-side and then an hour on the full-pitch

#39

oh that’s annoying :frowning:

Double booked. Another team has half the pitch from 4 till 5 PM booked as a weekly arrangement. They had email confirmation and paid for it. Our name was down on the sheet the guy in the little office had, but he was useless, and the other team refused to budge.Not sure yet what this means for the Brewdog game.

The person who is in charge of block bookings is not answering the phone this morning :rage:

That’s a real pain! What about moving it to the islington pitch? Hope it can get sorted!

#42

Decent game. Very scrappy towards the end, which is to be expected with so many new players.

I think the second goal might have been my fault in that I let Matt jump across in front of me, but in fairness, I thought I heard a call from the keeper and the ball was in the air and at a catchable height for a long time before he got to it.

Oh well.

I have now spoken to the block booking person. She was very apologetic and admitted that she made the mistake. The other team should not have had their booking approved, as we should get priority given our long history of playing at Whittington Park.

She has promised me that our next booking (the game against Brewdog) will be honoured as agreed, and she will contact the other team to tell them their booking is off.

We will receive a full refund for our booking yesterday. Everyone who paid me will get a free game the next time they play.
