North Vs South 8: 22nd September - NOW IN OXFORD WITH THE HOMOS (Damo probably won't make it though)
-
Let's set a date, confirm a location and get this shit on.
SATURDAY FOOD PRE-ORDER: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JM8RD9Z
And pitch 2A booked for 1PM here:
Address: Tilsley Park, Dunmore Road, Abingdon OX14 1PU (about 15mins from Oxford City on a bad day).
Telephone: 01235 524524
It's a weird grass-like surface called '3G' or some such. While it's no cool, clean, futuristic Astroturf (your friend on the ground) it is lovely to play on and you can use either astroturf boots or standard rubber studs.
It has a 200-seat grandstand should our adoring public wish to do some adoring.
Here endeth the lesson.

Do it Col. Looking like weekend of 22/23 at this stage.
-
We can't do 1/2 September or 8/9 September for various Warrington reasons, so 15/16 or 22/23 September are looking possibilities at this stage. I'd prefer earlier so as to accommodate a RRR in Oxford later in the year, but as I mentioned this morning, if the RRR is in Oxford, it doesn't affect me travelling.

For what it's worth, we can't do the 15/16th.
Yeah, I said I might be doubtful that weekend too. So I reckon the later one is the go-er.

That works for me I think, and flights are pretty reasonable. I'll probably be travelling Thursday to Monday to make the most of it, or even tag a few more days onto either end.Mr_Kentish said:Do it Col. Looking like weekend of 22/23 at this stage.

I'll be there, for boozing and moral support.
-
15th/16th is out for me.
-
22nd it is. Ends.
-
In which case it will definitely be the 22nd
-
Smashing, get it in the diaries then.
Hammond needs to sort out accommodation for 20 of us.
If Telboy could recommend somewhere to play the footy, that would be good too.
7 a side again?
North to play in White, Losers in Black.
I predict a tighter game than this time, but a similar score line. 10-7 to the North. -
We'll see. The smart money is on you and Jimmy to be rogered senseless after accidental gay club scenario.
But regardless, the early enthusiasm for a seaside sojourn is most excellent. As I said to Rich earlier, we used to congratulate ourselves on a weekend well done in the early days. Now we are groomsmen, godfathers to children and life-long friends to one another. Come what may, it will be a recipe for a fooqin memorable weekend.
Oh, and 12-9 to the South. -
@gogol1000 glad to see you escaped Manchester in one piece!

Righty, there is a regular train service from Gatwick to Brighton, making this an easy enough trip. Is the date locked down?
Yes mate. I reckon it is.
-
23rd might be my nephew's Christening, in which case, myself and miniSolid (you'll miss him pitch invading, obviously) will not be coming; which is a shame, as a trip to Brighton would have been nice, but if the date of the Christening changes, would probably try and make it a family trip.
Chris will just have to be very well behaved in the meantime if he wants a pass for the church event, in order to Rodent the weekend away. :) -
Ah please Mrs Solid...let Chris come out to play.

The Sailor!

I think I might be up for this one if that's ok chaps, depending on kids, life etc. But would really like to come along. Can we go camping? I love camping.
And could we do some sort of activity on the sunday too, makes the weekend seem to be longer than just the footie and a night out? -
It's London to Brighton and the Lib Dem conference on the same day.
-
16th is the London -> Brighton innit? Weekend before?
