Just trying to get things ticking over for this game as it's only 4 weeks tomorrow until we head down.
The game is a 10am KO (HX3 8TL) as the Halifax boys need to shoot away after our game to get to the Halifax game in the afternoon. John from Halifax has said that although they'll need to head away, he's going to see the pub that they normally use to see if they can do us some free grub (chilli and chips or something) or at least some discounted food. They've got Sky and what not so if we were wanting to just head somewhere for food, drink and Soccer Saturday, we can head there.
Had initially sorted the minibus with Livi again but since then the Youth fixtures have been released and Livi will need it that day so that's scuppered. Sav's looking into getting the Flintstones bus again and is going to let me know tonight so will take it from there.
Likelihood is that we'll need to leave around 4am. It's a 4 hour trip so factoring in a half hour/hour break half way down means 5 hours would take us to 9am so an hour to get stretched off and ready to play.
I've no idea what sort of costs we'll be looking at for travel but I'm assuming it won't be much more than fuel split per head and a small fee for the use of the bus.
Anyway, need to know who can all make this one.
I'm available.

Dean, PaulM, Munro and Richie are in for this.
Tom's managed to sort out a self-drive minibus and big bad Bob has offered to do the honours with the driving so we're good to go.
Based on taking 16 folk down (we have 14 just now so assume we'll get another 2) it'll be £25 a head but we might need to ask for another £4 or £5 on the way home if we run out of fuel. The bus is £240 for hire so that's £15 a head for that plus another tenner each for fuel gives us £160 then we can just divvy up any extra cost if need be on the way home. But aye, it'll be £25 a head.
So as it stands, there's 14 names down so space for another two. Once we have 16, that'll be that - first come, first served type thing. If you put your name down and then pull out and we CAN'T fill your seat, we'll still need your £25 from you.
We need to pay the bus fee when Bob picks it up on the Friday night and he'll just fill the tank there and then so will need you £25 from those going in for Wednesday 30th October.
Plan will still be the same - 4am start from the Stadium. 4 hours to get there plus an hour break means we'll arrive around 9am. 10am KO. Play the game, get showered then head to the pub for some food then just play it by ear with Bob for driving back up.

Daz O'Neill has torn ligaments playing 5's and will be unavailable to play in this game. He's said he'll still pay for his seat and come down to watch unless someone who is fit to play wants his seat. So if anyone who hasn't put their name down yet wishes to go, there would be a seat available but if not, Daz will keep his seat and we'll still have a full bus.

McKinven will be away for work so has had to drop out which means there is a spare seat - anymore for anymore?
I'll confirm the exact plan on Monday but looking along the lines of -
4am - leave from the Stadium
6am - stop halfway for a piss/coffee/brekkie
9am - arrive and get changed
10am - kick-off
12pm - showered and changed
After that, the Halifax boys have sorted a pub for us to go to although they won't be able to join us due to the Halifax big team game in the afternoon. Newcastle vs Chelsea is on the box at 12.45pm and the place we're going to does a pub grub menu aswell as a carvery - £7 for 1 course, £9 for 2 courses and a tenner for 3 courses. So the plan is, after our game, we can head to a bookies and get some coupons on then we'll head to this pub, get fed and watered, watch the football then Soccer Saturday with Jeff and the boys before leaving around 5pm to head back up the road so the likelihood is we'll be home around 10pm on the Saturday night.
Just to confirm it all with the Halifax lads but I reckon this'll be roughly the script for the day.
But there's still one seat to fill. With daz being injured and Munro not playing, ideally looking for someone who can play as we've only got 13 available players at the minute...

Chris Kay is going to let me know at lunchtime today if he's available to take the last space on the minibus. Remember, if you haven't yet paid it, you need to get your £25 in to me by Thursday night at the very latest. If you can get it to me before then, that'd be ideal. Cheers to those who have paid already.
Not sure what kit we'll need yet, just waiting to hear back from their guy, but Wullie has the black kit and DazK has the yellow.
Going by the news reports, half of England might be dead by the weekend with this weather they're going to get. The place where we're playing are going to let the Halifax boys know on Friday morning how the pitch is looking incase they get heavy rain. He's working on getting a 3G/astro pitch booked as a Plan B.
The pub we're going to after the game have offered to do us all a carvery for a fiver a head plus chocolate fudge cake for £1 a head so that's brilliant from them.
We'll be leaving at 4am from the Stadium boys so make sure you're there before then.
Absolutely buzzing for this - cannae wait!

Bad news lads. I'll need to pull out lf this. Been sick all week and throat infections no gettin any better. Getting up at 3am on Saturday wont help. Also just found out ive got a job interview on Monday so need to prepare for that.
Really sorry, already paid my £25. Happy that someone else takes my place.
Good Luck,
A gutted Chris.

Just waiting on the last few to pay but I've spoke to them all and I'll have it all in by tonight.
Chris - shame you can't make it. I've fired out some texts and a message on the GS FB to see if anyone can fill the spot. Will let you know if we get anyone.
We'll be in the black kit for this one. Wullie has these. Who has the subs jackets, medikit and footballs?
We'll be LEAVING the stadium at 4am on Saturday morning lads so make sure you're there before then. Get your alarms set and ringtones set to full too - nightmare if someone sleeps in and we can't get a hold of them.
As mentioned before, we won't know until we're on the way home but keep a spare fiver aside incase we need to grab more fuel. Hopefully be OK but just keep that in mind.
Think everything is covered - any questions, give me a phone. Lets do this!
