FutureGuy

Looking forward to it now, it's like "anti-boards beers".

Great to see we have bibs and ball. I'm sure they will have a ball for rent there anyways!

The only thing I can think of to make things go smoother is that if everyone turns up for about 6:50 this evening. I played regular astro for years (many moons ago) and one of the lads would turn up 10 mintues late every week which fecked things up royally

damoth

Yep sounds good - will make sure to be there early.

I'll bring a ball along, see you guys there at ten to seven.

Hooked

I'll get there early and stick up a boards a3 poster so we all know where to meet. And not to be anal, I'll have a list of the ten (as suggested last week) so you can tick yourself off and we can weed out any no show!

See ye laters lads - the place looks the business by the way. Very impressed!

I'm not a cash register, so please bring exact change if u can. I've negotiated a one off reduced cost - pm me - normally 6 euro a man for tonight to help get this off the ground. Please bring coins where possible lads!

Cheers

I'm delighted this is going ahead, I had no idea how it would work when I started the thread so that's good news

Looking forward to getting a game when I'm back on my feet!

FutureGuy

Well played tonight lads, very enjoyable!

TestTransmission

Good game,we may keep it up

FutureGuy

I thought everything went very well for our first night-great organization lads. The teams were well balanced and the facilities were top notch. Feeling it this morning though, must have sweated a bucket!

damoth

Yep - Was an enjoyable game. Well done to hooked for running it so smoothly.

The 11th man at the start was funny...

Cheers to everyone for last night... Just off the phone to Delta there... To block book the slot, Mondays at 7, we'd have to agree to book it out till next April! Also, as some suggested possible discount - the most they're willing to go to is 10%? which is 54 euro a week! No budging on a round figure of 50 euro! I didn't ask for or speak to a manager/superior.

My own personal reaction to this is not a positive one. I'm reluctant to put my details forward, locking into a booking till next April and I'd prefer a nice round figure of 5 euro a man if I were to do so...

As these are just my own opinions, I'll put it out there to the rest of those signed/signing up - as to whether this will become a regular gig. As it stands, nothing is booked for next week.

Cheers again for a good game last night.

Given the fact that they are open one day, I reckon they'll stand firm on this but give it a few weeks...perhaps a manager will give us a more favorable deal.

Trying to tie us to a 6-month booking is rediculous (and poor business too) given the fact that we will find it difficult to find 10 players over the christmas period.

If they do not want to play ball, there are plenty of other places where we can play.

Personally, I'd be willing to pay 6 euro for an hour there in the short term so long as they keep the emergency door open for some air. The first half was played in a sauna.

damoth

Yep - I suppose lets take it a week at a time for now anyway while we decide what to do.

Maybe book this coming Monday for starters and we can have a chat about what to do when we are there together before / after it. We can report back then on the thread so others will know what suggestions / decisions were made...

I'd forgotten that. Good fun, and no fear of being cold anyway.

Insect Overlord

My passing was atrocious last night, and some of my tackling was shocking, so sorry again for that!

Should get better once I start playing again regularly.

@ hooked - what details did they want to book it? I'd imagine it will run or 6 months fairly easily, there is plenty of interest. Having said that I wouldn't want to hand over details either...

So was it just a name and phone number sort of thing?

Just name and number but I don't want the hassle of them ringing me if we can't get the numbers. I was playing tonight and booked just next Monday as a one off again. So we can get the ball rolling again for this Monday!
