How many people are definitely going? I can see if the sprinter is available, 9 seats (guess thats Fen Boy/Cream/3 guys 10 eyes team bus) with xbox/tv/double bed and plenty of room for bikes...... including diesel it will probably work out around £20 per person

3 guys 10 eyes?
that is a fucking genius name for a team! love it.

oh, and i miss polo :(

greg, that would be sick! i think more want to come, but as of yet there hasn't been any formal confirmations, like putting the team name on the manchester thread. i checked trains and they're well expensive!

im in need of a team any offers please !!!!!! Josh,greg,slamming,oz,barney,anyone
for team night and our tournament cant do the euros or manchester

JUST TO CONFIRM TO EVERYBODY RE TOMORROW NIGHT 'TEAM NIGHT' TRIAL

Gonna give the team night a whirl tomorrow night IF we get all down for about an 8ish start (lights will be on from 730 so a few throw ups can be had).

so...keeping things competitive i guess the format will be:

Round robin games, as follows:

1. Team A vs Team B
   
2. Team C vs Team D
   
3. Team B vs Team C
   
4. Team A vs Team D
   
5. Team B vs Team D
   
6. Team A vs Team C
   with maybe a winners fixture and a losers fixture at the end.
   
   

We need a ref and a score taker/time keeper, we can alternate who does what between games.
10 minute timed games. No golden goals so we don't overrun the lights.
2/3 minute water/doughnut break

We will do a draw from a rapha hat before we commence so that each team gets a random pick.

Each team member pays their regular £3 for da litez.

This is all based on the assumption we get all the teams down, i.e.
10 eyes
Baby faced assassins
Cream
Fen boy three

If members fail to turn up, then we can have temp subs just to see how we get on, or just throw in as normal.

Is this ok with everyone?

Haha, this is the first time someone else has our team name! I'm excited!
Sounds like fun, I just hope the weather isn't terrible like today and that Arron turns up!

yeah it kinda relies on teams turning up wholesale. hence why we need to trial it before we commit to more lights hire. if it doesn't happen tomorrow its no big deal, we'll just throw up all night as normal.

i think Hayden is still aways skiing , So Fen boy 2 ?
