Old Polo Thread

Gonna be doing throw ins on the court from 9-10 (I hope)
if people can be there 11
11:30 go over rules
12 start or we just wont have time

11:30 is my team reg cap time (everyone who has pre reg is cool)
the things been advertised as 11 start so if your not there by 11:30 and you get pissy

if anyone is is registered but know they will be a bit late let me know
and I can shift them into a later bracket (if you need my number pm me)
within reason though

I've pre-registered 2 teams so alex, ben and si will have to register on the day.

According to aa route planner it should take 2h 53m to get there. As long as we leave no later than 7.15 from Ste's we should be good, and we'll get there in time for some pre-tourney throw ins

Amazing games tonight everyone. Nice to see some new faces too, Alex, keiron, David and Mr Magic. Alex seems to have picked it up instantly and could be a credit to mcr polo!

I love the way everyone has stepped up their game since the mcr tourney. I've been looking forward to this night all week and it didn't disappoint.

yeah really got session last night, every part of me is aching! bring on Oxford!

come on guys - karlsruhe, berlin, leipzig and manchester are already registered

This was from the munich thread in the london polo section. Who has registered from mcr then?

We can only have 3 teams in total, who's going then?

Snoops said he'd registered a Manchester team....

Right then.... is there anything we need for tomorrow....? I'll see Amer and get a CGS tee for Mirek, then i need to get a sleeping bag... is there anything else we need to take?

Is anyone taking waterproof trousers? do we reckon it's gonna piss down? can anywhere recommend some cheap/good waterproof trousers?

oh... ran the name CantGoSloPolo past craig, he was ok with that, i'll mention it to Amer as well just to prevent any political fall out down the line.... we wouldn't want to be accused of not telling people our intentions would we.... ;)

Fuck watewrproof trousers, if its that wet ill just change into shorts for the match or sumin
Is there enough Zipties goign around for me to be able to do my wheel cover? + may have a spare one going, found some in my neighbours garden, just need to ask them/hop the wall...

Don't forget to pack a leg bag.

i have waterproof trousers that pack away into the pocket and are then worn as a legbag. (i don't really but imagine that!)

14 people for polo yesterday - wicked turnout. french alex's debut was actually at the "i bike plattfields" day, but he was equally impressive then

I've got 2 wheel cover and a mallet if ppl need to borrow anything? Really wish I could come.

Wanna say sorry that i can't commit more, just have to work and have uni and exams on soon and loads of coursework. Feel bad when the turnout is crap and ppl get pissed that no one is turning up. Sounds like last night was pretty awesome though. Good luck for MCR tomorrow!

Adam I can probably lend you my waterproof trousers if you want? They are massive though so I just roll them up. Let me know and I can give them to woody.

unbelievable.

also alex is on my bike this weekend. make sure he takes good care of it! it's funny how polo bikes become so precious, even though they are built to be destroyed.

p.s. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!! SWIPE AND HOOK, da capo.

im hoping our new French recruit can become the Polo Poulidor

the eternal second? that's a bit pessimistic.

don't let him get too attached to my raymond. i do love him so.

ha! i didnt quite mean that - Poulidor was a great rider and won alot just unfortunately always 2nd in the tdf

ill do my best to detatch him from it after the tourney

@ punkture: might have been an idiot and thought I had 2 but its actually just one folded in half? I think woody might jump the wall to next door and grab some more signs so maybe u can grab one. Sorry mate

if theres more next door can you get me some aswell. if not w/e

alex was one of the people that couldn't find practises. i think he came to the meeting last night just to try to find out where polo was.

i refuse to be treated like the baddie in this situation, it's simply logical to have one place and time once a week where people can come (even if people just wait there for a while and move somewhere else later, it's not that much hassle). people are less likely to want to chase all over town for people and telephone random people, esp if they are not ooozing with confidence.

it is not a personal thing or an attack it is simply logic and ensuring accessibility to people that want to get involved.

personally i can't be bothered trailing about round town looking for you guys and guessing where you might be... and the response to this issue has completely put me off going to polo at all any more which is pretty sad as all i was trying to do was to raise awareness that i have had to deal with complaints and it would be better to simply meet once a week at a specified place and time. I'm really sad about it all.

"it's simply logical to have one place and time once a week where people can come "

i agree with this totally but i think whitworth is a better default cos it's bigger and more likely to be available. with the weather improving PFP is gonna be incfreasingly difiicult to get the court all evening. but whitworth court is invisible hidden behind that hill and not good for football anyway

don't be sad about it nes. everyone wants you there

i agree with whatever location people decide, that's not the/a prob. Andy made the suggestion to keep it PFP and noone disagreed but of course that can be changed.
