Ok, chappies, those of you who previously ventured themselves to show off their footballing prowess need to tell me a definite, firm and virile "YIP" or a miserable and weakling, sickly child in the corner "NAH".

Proposal is to meet somewhere on Regents Park, London, preferably where there'll be lots of girls sunbathing ;-), on Saturday 1st July.

If we can get numbers confirmed, we can decide on who gets to: a) wear the dodgy orange stripe kit and the lush home one, b) bring the ball, pump and accoutrements, c)where to gan for the post match bevvies / scran / fight (if Gav comes along ;-) ) d)time and venue for meet up (i.e. tube station) and kick off

Min has volunteered to be the "individu-trompeur dans la noire" for the afternoon, so get your limp wristed, air-card waving hands at the ready (for details see Delvecchio / Totti, Italian nation).

Also, I reckon it's a no-boots policy, especially as my own pair are rock hardened from lack of use for over 10 yrs.

Name and shame, lads and lasses! :-)

But I will deffo be there.

Stingy boy

I reckoned on some away tops to differentiate the sides...maybes not, perhaps a dozen or so black and whites will cause fear in the local populace :-)

Have no idea / preference / inkling as to which part of RP to play in. Suggestions?

I'm in - I've got a pump if need be. ITK, Bobby meet up at Hillingdon tube?
Incidently I last played on Tuesday and completed my first full 90 minutes since I was at college. Lungs were killing me mind.

How about assorted toon away tops for the opposition or is that what you meant ? Kensington end of Regents park would be canny, as thers some good bars up that end ?

Don't the bars in Kensington have a "no smelly sweaty b@st@rd" ruling? - I'm only thinking of Ken :o)

....and talking of Ken, you were close Sting. But I heard he was far more important than a barman - something about being a steward.

I'll be there. Which top? Who's picking sides? Sandshoes only? Cup? Glory?

Methinks you are getting your Hyde's and Regents mixed up me old son.

ITK - perhaps wor Sting's got connections in high places. Mebbes he's gonna get them renamed. Gee String, that would be clever.
