I have heard from Ryan and details are as follows :-

Its on Sunday 10th October!

Entry fee is £25 per team! Maxium of 10 players to a team so if I have worked it out properly and we have ten people its only £2.50 each and everyone will get a game!

Registration begins at 9.15am with the tournament itself kicking off at 10. Groups should be wrapped up by 4:30 pm and the whole day should be over by 6pm bar the post match drinks.

Their hoping to have the bar open throughout along with having food avaliable.

There's a nice engraved trophy for the winners that they just bought today

Format is two groups of 7, with the top 4 going through to the quarter finals.

I have said we will be entering a team so if anyone is interest please let me know asap! So far the team is:-

Myself
ShakerStu
SaltandShaker


Should be a great day and a proper laugh!

[Chip]

I think 5-a-side may be more than my lungs could take. My body isn't so much a temple as an old church with a dodgy roof.

And with a bar open all day I predict the astroturf getting a little bit slippy in places :beer-04: :beer2:

[ShakerMatt]

i thought its 6aside.

[madmark]

So is that a yes or a no Chip?

[Chip]

I think that's a no Mark

[zero-x]

Me, I can definitely play! Yay!! :lol: Might be able to convince my dad to play if we need him (shouldn't take too much convincing though)

[Salt and Shaker]

i defo in

[madmark]

Nice one! So far its :-
Myself
Salt and Shaker
Zero-x (and hopefully his Dad, think he is called Dave)
ShakerStu!

If their is anyone who wants to be keeper, please let me know asap! Cheers!

[ShakerMatt]

i'd imagine dave would go in net...

[zero-x]

Yep he will probably agree to that.

[ShakerMatt]

change of heart, i might play actually. i will let you know closer to the date, i thought it was 10th september.

[madmark]

It was but they have had to put it back for some reason! I seriously think we have a good chance and it would be a good laugh! For thou's who dont want to play PLEASE come down and show us your support!

[Salt and Shaker]

i'll be keeper if u want that is if dave wont be it

[madmark]

Ok, cheers I will bare that in mind!

[Salt and Shaker]

i a good keeper at 5 a side

whoops my teacher is shouting at us lol

[Salt and Shaker]

I seriously think we have a good chance !

i agree we won Kiddy in 5 aside after all

[Chip]

A change of heart...if you're struggling, I'll give it a go, even if it's only as sub

[madmark]

Cheers mate!

[Salt and Shaker]

so is that enough to put in a team

[madmark]

If anyone plays who says there then yeah!

[Chip]

Any one fancy a couple of practice 5-a-side matches before the tournament?

Maybe one evening during the week sometime, or a Saturday morning if there is no fans team game?

From what I can see, there are at least six of us up for it. Perhaps we can put a request up on the main board for some opposition to play against....unless anyone already knows a of a five-a-side team willing to play?

[zero-x]

I'm up for that, preferably on a Saturday morning when we don't have a match though.

[madmark]

Cant really do Sat mornings eap when we are at home as I am at work!

[zero-x]

Well I could do an evening as long as I didn't have too much homework or a previous engagement :lol:

[madmark]

Where should we play! What about hiring one of the pitches at Gigg so the club gets the money or we could hire a 5-a-side pitch one Sunday night at the Leisure centre!

[zero-x]

Surely we'd bebetter playing on one of the Gigg pitches so the club gets helped out rather than spending the money elsewhere.

[madmark]

How much are they and can you book them anytime?

[zero-x]

I don't know how much they cost, but they certainly don't get used a lot, so I'm guessing you could probably hire them any time you wanted.

[Salt and Shaker]

if we can theres a un marked 5 a-side piotch behind the changing rooms


a couple of coatys a ball

and the willing keeper and vola

[Chip]

Zero, can you not do evenings because of schoolwork etc, or because you haven't got transport? Some evenings are tough for me - Wednesdays/Thursdays are usually good though - if it's a transport problem, I'd be happy to collect you (and anyone else) when I finish work and drop you off afterwards. Salt, you can walk, you've got no excuse from Redvales!!

If I get chance tomorrow, I'll call the commercial office and find out about the pitches........ all we need then is opposition!

[zero-x]

Transportation isn't a problem, it's just a time thing, especially as some nights when I stay in Bury meeting somebody after school and don't get back home until 5, then I have lots of homework to do. I should be able to make most nights though I guess. Definitely can't do this Wednesday though.

Thanks for the offer though, Chip!

[Salt and Shaker]

. Salt, you can walk, you've got no excuse from Redvales!!

If I get chance tomorrow, I'll call the commercial office and find out about the pitches........ all we need then is opposition!


i can make anyday other than WEDNESDAY school work dependant

oh and i in a 5 aside tournament with my school on the next 4 fridays so i got training ( and it will be in Goal)

[madmark]

I can pick people up as well if they are local! If I have enough warning I can plan my shifts around it! Anytime around 7 would be great as I normally pick Laura up at 4:10 and see her for abit but I am sure she will understand!

[Salt and Shaker]

7 till about 8

do we actually need oposition

[madmark]

Well it does kinda help!

[Salt and Shaker]

what i meant was

do team work in one net

i.e heads and volleys and pass and shoot division etc

it works on every aspect

and to work on competivenes Wembley singles

[zero-x]

I normally pick Laura up at 4:10 and see her for abit but I am sure she will understand!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[madmark]

I was making a dig at you I was just saying time I get through rush hour traffic, have my tea and do some work for work (what you have to do when you get promoted) I cant make it before 7!

Anyway she said she would come down and play! I think it would be a good idea if everyone in the team brought a mate or something so we could play against them!

[zero-x]

I was making a dig at you
I realise that as it would be impossible for you to pick her up :lol: But let's try and keep things friendly can't we? We don't want stuff happening like what did last time. We're on the same side both trying to play for Forever Bury, so let's try to get along without the cheap digs.

[Salt and Shaker]

i could get the REDVALES W***ers down they may have a game but cant promise out

[paul of cemy end]

If you want to play my five a side team well play you. Not to keen on the concrete pitches though. Soccerdome or phillips or perhaps somewhere indoors seen as though the weather is crap.

[Salt and Shaker]

i've got us an extra player

his name is JAKE BASNETT and he is on my school 5-aside team with me

he said he was interested when i brought it up in convo

just let me no if u want him

he can play anywhere except in goal

[madmark]

When would be it possible for everyone to get together for a pratice match and where would everyone prefer to play!

[Salt and Shaker]

any day other than wednesday

and preferably redvales for ME and jake

[madmark]

What about one Sunday afternoon or summit!

[paul of cemy end]

Do you want a 5 a side game against us?? Ive got my driving test in three weeks so after that well be able to get soccerdome.

[madmark]

Yeah sure! So all we need now is somewhere to play and a night!

[madmark]

Is everyone still interested?

[zero-x]

Yeh sure. I'm pretty busy most days this week with meeting a certain friend and going watching hockey, but next week I could do any night at all, or and Sunday is fine for me as well.

[Salt and Shaker]

so we got a warm up on Sunday 3rd October

[Chip]

I'm still up for it but things are a bit mad at the moment - Kenilworth Wed, Thurs and Fri last week, London Monday Tues this week. Any chance you can work out the details Mark and I'll do my best to get along on the day/night

[madmark]

Yeah sure! I am busy this week myself with work and the match! What about a week on Sunday, castle leisure or summit!

[Chip]

Works for me so far - I'd have to bring the kids along unless it's around midday, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem otherwise

[Salt and Shaker]

Fine By Me And Should Be With Jake

[madmark]

I was thinking more like 7:30 or something!

[Salt and Shaker]

on the sunday evening

what day are we doing TRAINING AGAIN

[Salt and Shaker]

Madmark
Salt and Shaker
Zero-x
dave
ShakerStu!
Jake
Chip

thats all i no we got is there anymore

[madmark]

I am going to look into the price of the leisure centre, if it works out a few quid each I will book it so what day is best for everyone and what time! I was thinking one Sunday night about 7:30?

Paul are you still up for playing us?

[Salt and Shaker]

i cant make sundays as i with my gf till 9

[Chip]

Sorry Mark, I can't do 7:30pm on a Sunday - the wife works from 4pm - 11pm......unless of course Salt brings his girlfriend along and she can sit my the kids eating pop and crisps and watching us play. How about it Salt, seems the perfect solution. I could give you and your g/f a lift home afterwards?

[Salt and Shaker]

i'll see if she wants

what time will ti finishg aswell

[Salt and Shaker]

What About Sunday At About 2/3

[paul of cemy end]

Yep well play you sometime. Got rugby this sunday so cant do 2/3. LAst game of season though so any sunday after. What about wednesday night or sunday night??

THurs is a no no because its student night in bury.
Sat n fri no no because its sat n fri nite
Mon we have 5 a side
Tues we have tired legs from nite b4 :-)

[Salt and Shaker]

i cant make wednesdays
sundays before 4
and fri and sat no go as it is fri and sat ( great way of putting it paul)

oh and my GF cant make it on that sunday Chip she said anytime u need a babysitter just ket her no through me

[madmark]

I think it may be easier if everyine put the day and time the would prefer and we take it from there!

[Salt and Shaker]

preferably a weekend

say sunday at about 1/2

as during the week i at school

[zero-x]

Erm, preferably a weekend, say Sunday, any time really. Or if it was a weekday, preferably any time after about 5.
