After all the excitement of the 5-a-side tournament (some got a little bit over-excited even) we go back to the great outdoors to play a regular Reds vs Blues game. And it is also back to our spiritual home, Whittington Park, and the usual kick-off time of 4 PM. It doesn't get more normal like this, unless we have one of the local kids cycling across the pitch during the first half, or Tunde scoring a goal whilst flattening his opponent.
No further news on international friendlies yet, apart form the CCJ FC game, but the plan is to have at least one warm-up game before we go to Amsterdam.
The usual blurb:
- we play on a full-sized astro-turf pitch
- there are changing rooms and toilet facilities
- 5 min walk from Archway tube station (Northern line)
- 1 min walk from Upper Holloway train station (Barking - Gospel Oak line)
- Buses 17, 43, 263 and 271 all stop at Upper Holloway train station
- arrive at 3:30 PM for warm-up, tactics discussion, pre-match fags, team pictures, etc.
- kick-off at 4 PM sharp
- full 2 x 45 minutes and injury time + 15 min break
- one team will play in red shirts, the other in blue
- everyone can participate, the skills on display are wide-ranging
- final teams will be announced in the week leading up to the game
- 5 pounds each will be collected on the day
- post-match analysis in the Landseer pub on Landseer Road (5 mins walk away)
