December meet - date proposals

thought there is enough time to elapse before december lionhearts to propose couple of date options given that its the xmas month.

so can you let me know next couple fo weeks if think you will be attending and which date you prefer or if either are ok for you:-

4/12

11/12

venue will be bracknell town FC unless anyone wants to offer their house up to host.

cheers

jon

Hopefully, I'll be able to make this one Jon. Will be the last for a while before i go away.

I'll confirm as soon as i know for sure.

yes be good to say our goodbyes with a few games of subby.

any date you prefer?

Not sure yet mate. One of them is a Birthday weekend, so i don't know what plans are to unfold. Will try to find out.

I'm keen, but will need to confirm in a couple of weeks. Have to see how I am going to manage my work over the Christmas period.

Where are you off to, Spud?

yes a couple of weeks time is fine steve

Either date is ok by me mate , 4/12 more so but can do 11/12 if needs be

i will confirm later ,but if i can do it will only be for the 4th already out on the 11th

Canada for the Ski Season mate.

Very nice!

I suppose the next question is, will you be rolling up a baize and popping a couple of goals into your suitcase? Or are you taking a break from the biggest adrenalin rush of all?

Unfortunately, I won't have time Steve. I'm doing Instructors Course and Race Coach training, both are quiet intense, with exams and paperwork in the evening.

chaps

thanks lee.

pencil it in then for 4/12 and we will decide next couple of weeks

cheers

more promising still

put me down as a 'more than likely' - although my attendance is predicated on you prewarning all other attendees that they will spend their game with me teaching & tutting

No tutting I can assure you
Be great to have you along

Bring it on akumulator!

Tutting we do well - but mostly at our own incompetence!

Teaching we do less well - mostly because of our own incompetence!

not heard a peep from JP,Mark smith,zoran or adam.
daniel cant make it

looks like it will be the 4/12 gents as paul and lee can only make that date.

Jon

JP, Smudger and Zoran are all very busy at the moment with multiple commitments.

Not sure what Adam is up to. Haven't seen or heard a thing since the World Cup held at Wycombe, unfortunately. Will try and catch up with him through facebook, or something?

4/12 is looking good for me. Desperate for a flick. Haven't played for ages.

So 85% certain to attend, unless any unforeseeable family or work things pop up.

thanks for info steve.

i will leave you as a "maybe" until you are sure

adam cant make it

gents,



4/12 looks like the best bet as lee and paul seesm to be up for this date but cant do the 11/12 and jim also said 4/12 would suite him best.

so lets go for 4/12.

lee and paul - can you now confirm?

just got the all clear from her nibs Jon, so as long as Lee is still driving , I'm in!

got the subby fever back this weekend after a mate came over for his annual visit & was fascinated by the subbuteo collection - brought back loads of memories for him of when he used to play in the 70's

after the kids had been put to bed, ended up playing a mammoth 3 hour game ending velez sarsfield 8 - 7 PSG !!

next morning his two kids played for an hour with my boy - all good fun - glad to report the baize saw more action that the wii ;-)





ended up giving them a spare 70's club edition to keep them all entertained back home

paul,

those photos are fantastic!
great to see youngsters really enjoying the great game

i try to get my sam to play subby but sadly the electronic games are prevalent but at least he does play footy for a club (guess who's the coach? )

great that you can make it. you will have a great time and i am sure you will be back for more

jon

its looking like it will be a good meet with 9 confirmed so far, will we be able to order food as previous jon ?

If people want food I see no reason why not

daft question

what equipment do I need to bring - is it classic HW's only or are top spin / santiago's allowed?

I assume my repainted Stefan Corda classic HW's are allowed ;-)

So long as heavyweight type bases paul then any team is ok.
Fingers even plays with teams iff linesmen sometimes - and still wins!

I'm bringing a couple of extendable trestle legs so Reg can play with his bad back...

thanks steve.
thats the four sets of legs we need for four tables based on 9 of us.
one more person and we will need another table

Jp can't make it unfortunately.
Waiting on spud and vic.

Gents,shall we go for a maximum of five defenders for the meet re:our previous discussion?
Vote "yes" or "no" here

I vote "yes"

Or are there any other formation ideas?


Jon

Fine with me.

Although if I end up attacking Jim's goal with 9 attackers (e.g. from a 3rd consecutive corner), then he is morally obliged to defend with 9 defenders...all in the penalty area...

Just to clarify guys - I mean five defenders in formation not that you can't move other players back or forwards during play.

im ok with that Jon , max 5 defenders

I'm ok with that Jon...How about only one lot of Polish at the beginning of the day?

thanks

are you coming then ian!?
i mean you can polish as much as like if you are sitting at home!

anyone else got any views on polishing? I know Jims

my view is once at the beginning of the day and once half way through the matches

jon

Trying my damdest to be their. Just got a few hurdles to finalise then should be aok mate.

Formations ...

I'm a 4-3-3 fan, so suits me.

But it's a bit silly really, as your first two flicks can be to bring two midfielders back to join the defence.



Polishing ...

Lionhearts is an OldSubbuteo club that plays to OldSubbuteo rules. In the OldSubbuteo rulebook, polishing is permitted before each game. I'm with the rulebook on this one.

im happy to only have a buff prior to each game
