good call

Hmm maybe.. deffo up for ne on tour on weds/thurs though

We are hoping to get the lights for Downs tomorrow from 7:30-9:30 or something like that, and Thurs too, both for a single league game each night. So that should leave plenty of time for pickup for refs and spectators.

I'm in for tonight!

Newington?

Yep, there will be league games and pickup at Newington, Valentin

So ,does anyone want to get in touch with the council/ greenspaces about mitch?

Probably should be the LHBPA I guess. Do you have the details for them? I'll send them an email.

done, if I don't hear back in the few days I'll give them a call

Are you an Islington resident John?
I found residency of the borough useful in the beginning as leverage with Southwark with the Newington lights.
I pay my council taxes to you guys, can you fix this now please? etc.

Nice email, very profesh

Might be worth us checking out the court on the corner of Walford and Gunsfor Road that Mayeut mentioned.

If the lights are on and it's empty then we could be onto a winner.

I'll try and swing by later if I get time.

I write those sort of emails all day long...

thanks andy, i seem to remember it always being packed in summer, but your right it could be good

Just rolled down to the Walford Road court.

Unlocked and deserted so we are free to play there. Lights are fairly good (90% coverage) and the surface is decent, couple of gaps for the gates but they are only small.
Size wise it's similar to Newt but has fixed goals which will shorten the court a little. Just need some cones and we've got a temp NE home til Mitch is fixed.

I think we should give it a try, see how the locals take to us.

There is a court i saw with lights on at the junction of Mildmay Road and King Henry's walk in dalston. Think there are pictures attached but not sure how to do it. Could work?
