Any news about the pitch yet?

**sligoman** · 08/02/2006, 3:15 PM

field PM'd me wondering about a venue for this lads. I know the ALSAA(or something like that

) was mentioned but is this definite? Has someone booked it? What time is it for? and how much will is cost?

**Green Tribe** · 09/02/2006, 5:09 PM

I explained to him the nature of what was to happen :confused: and that we were members from far and wide (including Co. Down) and that there was no organised way about how and who would organise the day and get payment for the venue(s)

He said that they have both all weather and grass pitches and that they are available on 8th April next. He said that the cost of the grass pitch would be �75 with the all weather costing �100. This would give full access to the changing facilities etc.

He said that they would have a room which could cater for 80 - 100 people or if there was less than that they could reserve an area of the public bar. They could do finger food trays at about �4 a head or individual baskets of cocktail sausages, chips, wedges etc. at a cost of �6 a head. They could also do soup and sambos but he didn't have a price for this.

I said I'd put it out there for everyone to see and would get back to him by mid February. I took the liberty, but with no committment to a deposit or payment, of provisionally booking it for the 8th April next.

If there is to be a cost for the pitch and grub how will it be paid for ?; is it fair to expect the players and any supporters on the day to pay for it ?

I'm putting it out there to you all and await your posts. :ball:

It appears from reading the thread that nobody has suggested an alternative venue or indeed enquired about one.

I can confirm the booking with Sportslink but before I do that I would need to know what sort of arrangements need to be made for the day.

If memory serves me right the visitors would prefer a late evening kick off so a time would need to be confirmed. In addition would we be hiring a room (or reserving an area of the bar) for social activities (including grub); how many people are likely to be there (to have an idea for ordering grub) and who will and how will it be paid for?

I asked for posts on it but not many serious posts put up. It's now less than 2 months away so lets have your ideas posted so that it can be moved on.

If anyone wants to PM me on it thats OK with me

**superfrank** · 10/02/2006, 9:49 AM

I'll accept what other people desire for food, drink, etc. I have no pronlem with people deciding food and so forth.

My main concern is what time the match is played at and where the pitch is. Someone please PM the details.

**Block G Raptor** · 10/02/2006, 10:04 AM

I'm easy but it would be good to get confirmation ASAP.
I'll pay up to about �20 but after that you can all go an shyte

seriously though �20 a head should well cover it and I'ts not too much to pay for what should be a great night.(note to green tribe I fully expect to be first choice keeper for my �20

**Babysis** · 10/02/2006, 12:23 PM

Ok, ive read through theis thread(I really need to get a job). And from what I can see, the Sportslink all weather pitch that Aido M has provisionally booked is going to be the best option. Its €100 so it breaks down to a couple of Euro each from the home team. Field has said he would prefer a 16:00 KO. As for food etc, we have two options. We either arrange for food to be laid on for us there, or we make our own plans and just start with a few beers and see where we all end up? I will leave that to a few of the locals to decide.

We also need to sort out kits. Everyone wont agree to wearing Ireland shirts, so any ideas on that would be good.

Personally I couldnt care less which jersey is worn, but all suggestions are causing trouble. At this rate it will be a case of saying everyone turn up in a black t-shirt/air tex/jersey. If anyone else wants to make a suggestion, then please feel free

I'll wear the Cork jersey but who's gonna provide us all with them? Also, I'll only wear it if I can burn it after the match

.

What about if we all wore the yellow training bibs anyway? If someone could get some of those, that'd be sound.

**Block G Raptor** · 10/02/2006, 1:50 PM

I'd Love us all to be given a nice Ireland jersey with the Foot.ie logo on it (hint Hint Adam) friend of mine is a freelance photographer who is regularly published in many red tops so I might be able to drum up some publicity/advertisment for the game/foot.ie maybee even a piece in one of the local papers like (ps I used to work for t-shirt print and still have good contacts in there so could get a good deal on the printing!!hint hint adam)

I'm detecting a hidden message for Adam in there somewhere

. I don't think he reads this thread though!
