I'll be there anyway.

Theres a green area opposite the black box on dyke road, I never see anyone up there and theres ample parking, it may be an idea to try this place out if renmore becomes too busy. I dont fancy walking around like last week

That's the Plots. The surface is usually in a state anytime I've been there.

South Park?

I played soccer a few times down there in college and there was often a lot of broken glass about. From what I hear a lot of winos hang out there. I've no idea how true that is though. If the surface looks okay though then I don't mind switching.

That's another good option. I must drive around by there on my way home to see how busy it is in the evening.

Robbo · 06-05-2009 12:04pm

Decision time folks.

Thursday 6/5/09 at 6:30 pm, Venue to be decided.

Candidates:

Renmore (despite traffic/popularity)
South Park
The Plots (may have mud, glass and winos)
Other Venue (please specify)

PopeBuckfastXVI · 06-05-2009 12:20pm

I'd go with Renmore again, just whoever's there first try to stake out a spot.

Second of that would be Cappagh Road (if you can play on those pitches? I presume it's a public amenity, not a GAA club?)

Third would be South Park.

Last of all would be wino ville!

What about the pitches in Mervue? Anyone know what the story with them is?

Nathan you work in HP right? Any chance of using the HP pitches in the evening?

I assume you mean the pitches on the main road between Thermo King and the Mervue FC pitches? We used to play on them when I was with Medtronic FC, I'll see if I can track down someone who might know something about playing on them.

PopeBuckfastXVI · 06-05-2009 1:11pm

Yeah there's a tonne of GAA and Soccer pitches out that way, Might be able to grab a spot there at the back of Tara Grove

HP have tag rugby training on tuesday and thursday at the time we train, other than that it's usally not too busy, not sure if anyone can just wander in and use it though, i can find out.

as for tomorrow are we all agreed on renmore then and first person there claims his/her piece of turf?

good thinking Popebuckfast. anytime i walk through here its very quiet tho that would be 5-6 ish. maybe we should stick with renmore for tomorrow til we suss this place out a bit better?

i would favour renmore and mervue to knocknacarra region but if we need to change il go with the majority
i know corina is hoping we stay renmore side of town cos she has to travel in from athenry but did say if we change could we change training to later time to give her chance to get in on time as 6.30 would be very rushed

Ms. Ka · 06-05-2009 6:50pm

Hey,

Dont know if I can make tomorrow nights training because of work but will do my best. In terms of moving pitches, I'm also coming from Athenry so the further from there the later the start time please?

Ms. Ka · 09-05-2009 2:16pm

Was any decision made on where to move the training to?

I think the decision was to move to Mervue for Monday's training. PopeBuckfastXVI provided a link to the map in a previous post:

Tonight!

Nathan251 · 11-05-2009 1:56pm

Training at 6.30 again tonight, but change of location....we are going to Mervue, from the aerial pic it looks like there are a lot of pitches there, cam someone who knows the area clarify exactly where we are meeting/playing?

also 15 players have registered so far, any new players need to pay 40 euros to join and we need two more players to cover the cost of miss ka's t-shirts, so anyone who hasn't paid/is new please let me know so we can get you registered.

no messages yet, i think that's a mistake, in other places it says the season starts on the 21st

Nathan251 · 11-05-2009 4:22pm

look at this, i think this is correct although i've contacted them to confirm

Robbo · 11-05-2009 4:39pm

Just so as you know, tag shorts can be bought in town in the Eyre Square centre. If you go in the entrance on the South East Side (Great Southern/Meyrick) side of the square and go down, there's a shop on the right.

€19.50

There's no excuse for not having them now if you're serious about playing.

Malice · 11-05-2009 4:47pm

Before I forget, I can't make training tonight thanks to work and also I'm away to Boston from May 22nd to May 31st so I won't be at training or matches between those dates either.

Nathan251 · 11-05-2009 4:49pm

I just got this email

Hi Nathan,

The League is starting on the 21sy May 2009. All fixture details will be available on the website approx 1 week before it commences. At the moment there are still teams registering therefore we cannot do the fixtures.
All venue and fixture details will be on the following webpage:

That's good to hear. I can't wait to see them.

Did you decide on a time and place? If not, I vote for the Twelve Pins in Barna. That way I can walk to and from the pub

PopeBuckfastXVI · 12-05-2009 4:24pm

Noes!!

What about Bar No. 8, it worked for the first meeting?

Dermot' · 12-05-2009 7:24pm
