I could if someone gave me a lift, but I'd have to leave early to get to town in time for 7.30. Don't fancy driving on my work night out I'd happily give you a lift but (a) I obviously have to stay till the bitter end and (b) it will cost me £9 to get my jalopy into town.

miser Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Youth team game scheduled for tonight at HPC postponed due to frozen pitch. Will be a challenge to get pitch playable for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 If the game is declared on a 6:00 kick-off may well be too early for a lot of potential supporters, what with schools and rush-hour traffic. And the Four Wheel Poll Tax, Clean Air Zone. Might not be a big crowd. I will be there if it goes ahead, skirting around the fringes to avoid the £9 hit.

miser Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Match postponed. Presumably now back to the dripping pan at some point. Does this take priority over our planned visit in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Whenever the City/Lewes & Charlton/Palace group games get re-arranged, whoever tops the group will end up hosting either Man City, Leicester, or Liverpool in the Conti Cup quarter finals on 25/26 January. One positive though it's that it's yet another home game in January... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news! One of the few centurions in Welsh football, recently signed a new contract at Chelsea I never got to see her play when she was at Bristol Academy (as it was back then), although I did get a chance to bump into her at the England v Spain quarter final in Brighton last summer.

Erithacus Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Really? Do the men train at the Bears' centre too? Why is there a need to 'share' facilities at our state-of-the-art facilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there a need to 'share' facilities at our state-of-the-art facilities? With both training grounds less than a mile apart, it made sense to not duplicate some specialised assets possibly just to save on cost. Especially if the asset would not be in continual use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did watch her interview where she said she played for United in their mid-season trip to Malta last week.
