Histon supporters v Waccoe FC ( Leeds Fans )

[Deleted]

This might be a long shot guys but worth a try

We have a number of Leeds fans who are staying over on Saturday night and we wondered if you fancied a game of footy on Saturday afternoon?

We have played the odd game over the years against other Leeds web sites and twice against Halifax Town Supporters and have raised some cash for charity

Just need some goalposts and eleven players each and if we all chuck a tenner in each we can donate the money to a local charity or even your club if you prefer?

Don't worry about the standard as our goalie will be a fifty year old who likes his beer

It's all about a bit of FA Cup fever, friendly footy match between two sets of fans and hopefully a few beers together after

Anyone up for it?

on on on

I'm gussing our team will be 50 year olds who like their beer..

Problem being we dont have 11 fans

I'd be up for a game. We managed to get a fan's team together last season to play York City and Cambridge United supporters. So its a posibility. Anyone else fancy a game? We could play on Histon rec.

Cracking idea. Bit short notice and I'm out of here and on my way to Northumberland at 4pm. Leave it with me - I've got the Impington Rec groundsman on the case and he's calling me back on Monday to let me know if we can use the pitch, changing rooms and showers. Once we have a green light for a location then we can start mustering up players. I'm sure we can get 11-ish. Cost isn't overly massive if split between both teams.

"FTM's Rules" are beers afterwards at the local pub over the road and home teams chips in the whip for the away team's first round.

Will post again on Monday with the craic about the pitch.

NB. Don't think there are floodlights so would have to be KO fairly early. What time are you guys arriving?

[ezekiel]

Sounds a great idea. If it gets sorted, i will certainly give the cambridge news a call sure they would be interested.

I've got a county darts match; Surrey v Cambs in Croyden on 29th so you're gonna have to find another ref - sorry

You'd have had a choice to make if the Leeds match was on the Saturday then!!

"It's the arm lads... can't hardly move it... no way I could play" etc

Nice one ftm

especially the bit about home team buys first round

yeah I'm conscious of the light but we would come down for as early in afternoon as possible or we could play 30 mins each way if necessary

Let's get the game on and worry about the detail later mate

Bugger, just remembered i'm looking after the kids next saturday, so I probably can't play.

[1993stutes]

if we get the game ahead, what would the age limit on players be?

[bobby]

At the rate it looks like its going at the moment then 12

[1993stutes]

well i know a fair few, 5+ who would probably play if 16 year olds could play

[Deleted]

I'm 16. Would i be able to play?
And no i'm not the real sweep
I'm Sweep II

howver if this age wouldnt be allowed i would be happy to referee it

[JSmith]

I'm actually a qualified ref but haven't reffed a competitive game for a couple of years due to being busy on Saturday's with watching Histon!

Would be glad to ref if anyone wants?
