Palace BBS v Oxted Orient, Finsbury, 28 June 2003
EDIT: 28 June 2003, Kick off 1pm, nearest tube: Old Street.
As some may have read on the 'Kick about' thread, on 28 June a BBS side including such footballing no-marks as myself, Skin Up and Baloo - with Riccardo Lippi as manager - will be taking on the oh-so-scary Oxted Orient. Omnipresent Julian Gray fan Daniel Nash has kindly suggested Finsbury Leisure Centre as the venue, and even more unselfishly left yours truly to stump up £100 to pay for the pitch. ![]() Which is where this thread comes in. I will be booking the pitch on Saturday, but obviously I need to know that I'll get that £100 back first. So, basically, this thread is for those who want to play to say so, and are willing to put their money on it. If there are 16 of us playing 8-a-side, it'll come to roughly £6 a head - so let's say the maximum cost would be £7, in case a couple don't turn up. THE PITCH IS ASTROTURF, SO YOU'LL NEED TRAINERS! If you'd be willing to pay this, whether you play for us or the Orient, and can a kick off sometime between 12 and 2 (depending on when I can book the pitch), please post below. Obviously the more the merrier - we'll have rolling subs to keep those old legs of Baloo and Lambeth Palace fresh. ![]() A map of the pitch is here. It's very near Old Street tube. And I've only just realised it's my old uni's sports centre, so will be a blast from the past for me. ![]() http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetma...M?P=ec1v3qf&Z=1 I'll be fighting Zonin for the skipper's armband, and one of us will pick the side nearer the time. ![]()

If the pitch is like the bexley astro, you can use boots. Bring them just in case!
Oh and I'm in.

Lambeth will be playing for the BBS, N.A.S.H. and Latvian will be playing for Oxted.
I will also play for the BBS, under the stewardship of our captain Benzhiyi.

Latvian, can you get in touch with other Orienters and get them to post, or post on their behalf if they're available? Thanks.
There's a lovely pub opposite City called The Bull, great place for us to traipse off to afterwards. Or plenty on Old Street itself.

Islington isn't too far away, it's where the CM offices are
, and in Upper St (nr to Highbury and Islington tube) there is a place called Bierodrome. It sells real Belgian beers, not Belgian beers brewed in England.![]()

You saw how mobile I am on my ankle these days, so no (OK, it was partly hangover but the ankle's horribly weak and I always fear it will go again)
I'm also flying back from a week in the sun on that Saturday so no again I'm afraid. If you stay drinking in North London I might be tempted to pop along later though. |

Sunny, what's the pitch like? Is it proper Old Skool Astro, or is it lovely synthetic grass
??!
