Old Polo Thread

Thanks for the games yesterday folks, sorry we couldn't stay longer.
Added to my to do list: build up a polo bike for herself!

what are ppl doing weekend after next? I'm thinking of chasing up the indoor place...

Here's a list of parks we could check out

http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/200073/parks_and_open_spaces/2376/contact_details_for_parks_and_leisure_facilities/4

noone bothered to add the dates they are free to go to the leisure centre (except simon). as soon as everyone does it we'll know when there's point in booking it.

here's the link, again.

thankfully I don't know the owner the bike sounds hideous, maybe that's why they don't need to lock it. or maybe they suddenly realised what a fugly bike they were on and ran from it screaming...

the indoor place doesn't need chasing up, the poloists do. only 2 people currently commiting to any dates,no point booking for 2.

Nes, Sorry, I can't add my dates to that as I have no idea when I'm gonna be working more than a coupla days in advance. x

sorry only just filled it in. I have finally handed in the two big essays that i have had hanging over me for weeks so now i can start playing fucking polo again!

no worries...think i got outta bed wrong side though like i said a dominatrix type nes seems to encourage results!!!

found this picture ont web... i bleeding LOVE it..

Google maps is ace. List of parks that look like they have courts that'd be worth checking out... Mirek, had a look for all the ones on that list. Couldn't find a lot of them but the ones i could are on here.

Chan can you pm me the polo phone numbers pls

Fog Lane Park, Parkville Road

This could be a good one, I've been there on my bmx. Nice surface, but can't remember if it's lit.

Chan can you pm me the polo phone numbers pls

i already did mate, but i'll re-send 'em

i went and looked at ladybarn park and birchfields. as hannah says they're unlit. can't remember for sure if plymouth grove park or the kincardine one are floodlit. have a strong feeling that plymouth grove at least is not.

mirek IOU £8. i'll pay u tomoro if i see you, if not i can paypal it.

whats wrong with Manley?

whats wrong with Manley?

surface, holes behind goles, slippery corners, other peoples use it, nolo showing up and shouting at us :-(. dout they'll be anything better for ze winter though, floodlights is rare.

Does anyone have a front BMX brake (the kind that attaches to bosses on your forks) as the pic below

I need one to get my new polo setup up & running.... Doesn't need to be anything fancy, Dia-compe Odyssey etc will do fine.... Someone must have one lying around somewhere... Ste..? Andy...?

what's the deal tonight...? Weather's not looking promising....

Very slippy and muddy, could do with getting the broom on it. Also, 2 of the lights aren't working anymore so it's a lot darker. But at the moment it's our only option.

Don't have a bmx brake like that either mate.
