As this is the last Reds v Blues game before we go off and invade the lowlands, the intended purpose of this match is to play Amsterdam XI vs The Rest Of The World as a warm-up exercise. These games are always a lot of fun, as it it the perfect opportunity to experiment with formations, substitutions and convolutions.
As far as international friendlies are concerned, we have one more in the pipeline, against the Brewers of the Dog in early May. There is talk of another trip to Sheffield, or to Edinburgh, and the London International Amateur league may start up again. Who knows what will materialise, more news as we have it.
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)
