Old Polo Thread

has the idea ever been brought up of us making our own court? was looking through some london threads the other day and found one (can't remember which) where people were talking about finding an unused piece of land, getting permission from the council to use it, then filling in holes/putting up barriers etc. was chatting to chucklebruv last night and he had some ideas of places... just a thought like.

you talking about whit coz that's the most obvious option, which is really good btw, but there may be other better places we could use (with a bit of renovation)...

From the other thread:

'MHPA' - Meeting Report

Last night Chan, Marek, Ben, Rich and myself ran through a preliminary assessment of where Manchester polo is and where we want it to be in a year's time. It was a very useful and positive session - I'm still very keen that all those who wish to contribute their thoughts do so before we try and wrap it up in a simple and cohesive plan of action. Anyone who wants to meet me to air their views - can they set a date to meet at the Sand Bar or PM me.

The next steps - we plan to publish a planning document to be made available to all existing Manchester polo players by September 1st. Then we will have another period where Manchester players can assess, improve or heckle the ideas and actions, before we start actioning the plan.

Thanks for your support to date.

what i mean is, maybe the council would be more likely to give us a piece of derelict land, to use as a permanent court, rather that an existing court which they could renovate themselves and make available to everybody.
looking at the courts they've built in berlin, it seems this would be viable.

Hey guys since the weathers so bad (mucho raining) i think there will even be standing water on platt fields soo i think we should be move the venue to NCP.

NCP is in the city centre on one of the sidestreets opposite the BBC and before you reach the Dancehouse. In fact, precisely here http://bit.ly/bHzSWu

in -si says mark is welcome to borrow the loaner bike if needed but u gotta pick it up from rusholme

Now only Neil and Mark dont know that were doing it at NCP. Someone text them?

Bring a ball ben?

by the way, its REALLY hardcore rain now

im on the train back from london dunno either of their numbers im afraid - ill bring an orange ball but if anyone has a red one bring it see ya there

in -si says mark is welcome to borrow the loaner bike if needed but u gotta pick it up from rusholme

safe, im just eating and then going

everybody! i stole the ball off ben and scored twice in a row tonight! me! the ginger amateur. baaaha.

(gooners breastfeed till they're 12)

'sigh' another horrible yid in our midst - we welcome you into our little polo community, lend you bikes and mallets and then it turns out that you are actually scum from the Lane :P We should institute a vetting process methinks

Think you'd better get used to being turned over by Spurs mate! COYS

what, like you got used to being turned over by us for 11 years straight? You lot wont get 4th place again for a good while. The Arsenal on the other hand are concerned with whether we will win the league this season or next...keep dreaming

anyway, back to Bike Polo

what, like we got used to being turned over by our dads for 11 years straight? You lot will get 4th place again. The Arsenal on the other hand are concerned with whether we will win anything at all this season or next...keep dreaming
