PiQue, will you have a shaft for me? I'm guessing not since you don't even have a mallet...
I will also need to borrow a spare mallet.

I was at Mitch for solo polo last Friday and got some pretty heated reception from the kids playing footie. Kids, yes, but with about 6 of them on the courts I did get a little bit intimidated. I rode down the ramps, placed my bag down and one of the kid picked up a cone and waved it at me from afar, telling me to leave. However, I spoke to one of the older kids which was a little more reasonable, he said that on Thursday when they asked to be use the court they were declined (one sided story, might be BS) hence when they saw me they thought there will be more players arriving and taking the court.

Maybe it is time to speak to the council or those running the courts to find a schedule where footie and polo could co-exist in harmony for better of all. I will put myself up to assist with negotiations with the council/management/whoever. Planning to move up North soon so yeah, Mitch would be my home court soon, so hopefully this will be the first step.

Sorry to hear that, but I can understand their side of the story, however, 2 hours twice a week is reasonable and I'm sure they are cool with that. They know that we come on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if we start coming everyday like last week, they are not going to like it!
No need to make things official! Unless it's really unfair which it isn't.

Sorry, Last thursday the kids had the court with some older guys until 8pm. We finally got on court at about 8.10, they asked if they could have one of the goals, we said no. Totally reasonable.

Not that I want to stop you trying, but there are two separate sets of footballers. There are the older ones who come at certain times, and the young kids who come whenever. The kids won't give a shit if we have booked it, they will play there anyway.

As soon as it's lighter for another hour or two we can play at Downs/Downham anyway.

So Thursday sessions at Mitch dont start til after 8pm ?

I finish up work earlier tomorrow so was going to head NE... :-(

Any of you lot feel like coming to Newington instead?
It was quiet last Thursday for the Team v Jak league game. Second court was empty.

I think we should, we can see out the last game of regular season and get some decent court time in.

Im game.

I might be in for newt tomorrow.

we can see out the last game of regular season

? Dont think there's any league game scheduled for tomorrow night, if thats what you mean...

oh well

We could always play a Psyclone - La Schmoove third league game rematch

good luck getting the other fellas there.

i wanna play sth tomorrow anyway ... who else is in?

Me you and gabes so far then.
Alexis will probably come, he works very close.
Should get seven or eight no problem. Met Office says dull but dry.

If we get 6 and its dry its a good day.
