Midweek 5 aside - Coolmine - sign up!

If someone rings early in the morning we could possibly secure the pitch for tomorrow.

We can worry about a block booking later on.

So clap, with your new found powers, are you taking extra names for teamer?

Clap - you dont need to find the extra money. When I made the booking for our Thursday game I just paid it on the night.

If you are adding people to teamer for the Tuesday game, maybe put TUE after their name or something ?

Tusky

Formal shorts has booked the pitch for tonight as Aaron appears to have been too lazy! I'm gonna send out teamer messages now. If anyone isnt on teamer but wants to play tonight, can you please PM me your name/phone number and email and I'll add you.

Also, I would ask people to only accept the invitation for the Tuesday game manually rather than by text. The reason for this is Ive no idea how teamer will distinguish between the game on Tuesday and Thursday, so by texting it may accept or deny the invitation for the wrong game. So if you can manually go on to the website and change your status to accepted for the Tuesday game, that would be great.

[edit] Ive also made Ken and Ciaran co-organizers on teamer so they can add players/create games etc. If anyone else thinks that they may want to add players or create games in future just let me know and I'll make you a co-organizer also.

i can get an extra player if we need one

Maybe be better to set up a 2nd account in Teamer for Tuesday crows as to not mix up numbers?

Not sure if this would mean we would have to register twice though ?

Your one teamer account can be associated with multiple teams, provided that the new team uses the contact details on your existing account to invite you.

Nah I think Ive got it sorted in my head now. Anyone who gets added for the Tuesday game will have a 'TUE' after their name. They wont get invitations for the Thursday game. In future, I will only send out Thursday teamer notices on a Wednesday so they dont get confused with the Tuesday ones. Does that make sense ?

On second thoughts, that might be a much simpler way to do it. Just set the Tuesday game up as a separate team.

ciaran76

I meant it in a way that some people dont have to read this before you sent out the text earlier so would probaly have replied by text.

Anyway sorted now it seems

Well were not exactly world beaters and its only a friendly game. Weve been playing for a couple of months now so our fitness has definitely improved, but all levels of both fitness and ability are welcome. If you want to play, just pm me your details and I'll add you to teamer. Dont just turn up though without confirming on teamer, as we generally try to get even numbers each week.

In that case, accusations of laziness are withdrawn! Strange though, as she let me pay on the night. Didnt ask for credit card or any of that.

Coolmine can be a pain in the arse to deal with. They seem to change their minds about how you pay. Formal shorts would of had to pay using his credit card but hopefully we can have a word with them tonight and explain that this will be an on going thing and we would prefer to pay on the night.

Either way, we have Tuesday footie

She said the exact same thing to me, although it's the first time I've booked with them in 2 odd years so I wasn't surprised.

Looking forward to tonight now

We currently only have 11 on teamer, so if anyone has a mate that wants to play, bring them along.

No, i haven't played with you lot before, think i know 1 or 2 of you though. Cheers, see ya then.

Tonight was an absolute joke.

How hard is it to tell whether one of four pitches is available at a given time?!

"Is there a pitch free on a Monday?", "Emmmh...I think so....". Look at your computer and say yes or no.

Perhaps we should look at a different venue for Tuesdays? Castleknock? Corduff sports centre? Colaiste Ide? DCU?

ciaran76

Yeah they acted terrible and the poor fella working there didn't know what to do.

If you think about it we ended up talking to 3 different people and no one had a clue what to do.:(

Have they rang anyone yet to see about Monday ?

yeah if theres a few other places near by we could try them, i play at DCU couple of times a week theres always few pitches spare but it might be quite far for some people by time you get there and back. theres one in laurell lodge i think its open to public but its just 1 or maybe 2 pitches

There's some good pitches at Coolmine Rugby club, I've used them before and the guy looking after them is sound.

Formal shorts

Evening gents. I got a call this evening from Philip in Coolmine. He first of all apologised for the mess up last night. With regards to the money paid, that is going against tomorrow nights game, so tomorrow is paid for. As I understand it, not everyone there on Tuesday will be playing tomorrow, but he also offered us a free game the next time I ring to book, so no one should be left short.

Going forward, he's contacted someone who has a long standing booking on Tuesdays at 10, and they may not be using it any more. They have until Friday to decide, so he's going to call me on Friday evening to let me know what the story is.

Cheers for the update.

Formal shorts

Update: Just received a call from Philip. They have a long term slot available for Tuesdays. He said it's €120 deposit, and we give him a time frame, eg 3 months. With the €120, we we get it for 60 per week instead of 65 which is the once off rate. €60 of that is held aside in case we don't show on a particular night, they take for it.

I've asked him to put us down for this Tuesday coming anyway, and I'd get back to him on Monday to say whether we'd like to go ahead with the long term.

What do you guys think?

Mister Robinson

Seems fine.

Is that a 10r deposit each and an extra 5 for tuesday aswell?
