We played a game up in one of Salthill Devon's cages, twas excellent, but alot of trouble to get to.

Anyone care to suggest an all-weather venue? Or even a hall for some indoor kickabout?

Why not just pick a field on a nice day? Doesn't have to be professional, after all I'm sure some of us are **** like me.

We could check up on the cost of renting a community centre and stuff like that. We could also just go down to the Claddagh and have a big boards kickabout

Devon's cages are soo good to play in. Good fun, bout a fiver each

I'd suggest the Arus in Salthill for indoor soccer, bit small but you know. Also the GMIT hall is easily bookable for free

Any word on this? Judging by the weather in Galway today I think we'll be wanting to stick with an indoor venue.

nah no contract.:rolleyes: The way things work at the moment is I have a list of numbers of people who might play. I usually send a txt on the monday evening or tuesday morning to see who wants to play. Whoever replies gets a game. There's about 6 regulars who never miss a game but the rest just play when it suits.

A cage in Drom costs €50 for the hour so the cost is split between whoever turns up.

I can't make it out to Drom.
I had more of a casual 'few ppl belting a soft ball around a hall for an hour' thing in mind to be honest.

I'd be up for a bit of footy. What about the NUIG hall? That's a pretty sweet place to play.

I'd be game for a, eh, game. Although I am bit of a donkey with a first touch that makes Carsten Janker look like Besty.

Can we play "real football"? With boardsies dressed as medieval villagers, chasing a pigs bladder?

There are no women on the internet. They were abolished in 2001 to free up some space.

I can organise the GMIT hall easly but not the NUIG. If people dont mind coming over here then I can probably organise something after the 25 or so.
