This will be the final match for the legend that is Tom Knapp (= keiths_tele) before he leaves us and moves oop norf. Let's give him a deserved farewell. As is tradition, he will undoubtedly chuck his boots into the crowd after the final whistle. Catch them while you can.
The Sheffield away game hangs on the balance at the moment. We are short of quite a few players, so unless more people announce their intention to attend, we may have to call it off for this year. Sorry. No news yet on other international friendlies to take place in September and October.
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)
Come on, you know you want to. Put your name down by replying below.
