Myself, Greg, and Greenie are looking at possibly putting a Witton Albion supporters team in the John Deane 6-a-side league.
We are looking for a squad of 10.
The games are played on Sunday afternoons. Match fees will be about ?3 a player, but we are looking to have it as ?5 each, and then what’s over at the end of each season goes towards having a team night out (possibly at Witton’s club).
The only stipulation we are thinking of putting in place is that each person picks up a Witton tracksuit from the club shop. Team uniform!
So we have Chad pencilled in as the token old geezer upfront, Big Stu as the Nicky Tanner type donkey at the back, Yox as the tanned latino playmaker type(!).
I would be certainly interested in helping in someway, however Sunday’s are difficult due to playing in the mornings…would love to see a witton supporters team…especially as I had the privilage of playing against V*cs supporters club last year and putting 9 past them with out the hint of a reply in a freindly for my previous club.
I have managed, secretaried, qualified refffed and am also level 2 coach, coach with the juniors and contemplating returning to the commitee of the ECSFL league next season
Great to see a bit of interest already. And any help we need we will be sure to ask.
just to clarify one slight thing, we might not end up being very good!! But that isn’t the point. We’re just going to have a laugh, and if it somehow raises a bit more interest into the club then brilliant.
There is currently a season underway in the Northwich league which finishes on March 11, so presumably the new season will start a couple of weeks after that. We get 8 shirts free after we have completed 2 games in the league. However, there is no guarantee of what colour these shirts will be. If we get green, that would be a catastrophe. With that in mind, I will plead with the league to sort us some red and white (or even yellow) shirts, but is there anything the club can do (Neil ) to help us out?
Anyone who wants to play, please give me a definitive ?YES? asap.
Here are some brief rules regarding players, the general rules are available on www.soccersixes.net
Game duration is 13 minutes each way
There shall be 9 players maximum per squad in one night
You are allowed an unlimited squad. You can have however many people in your squad as long as you only turn up with 9 of them on the night and as long as your players do not play for any other teams in the league. Players caught playing for more than 1 team will be banned from the league. You do not need to register all your players with us.
The only word i wouldn’t of used in that sentance is ‘slightly’
;D[br][size=1]Posted on: February 08, 2007, 09:43:40 AM[/size][hr]RIGHT WE’VE GOT A DECENT SIZED ‘SQUAD’ NOW, SO IF EVERYONE CAN MAIL GREENIE THEIR DETAILS WE’LL GET THE BALL ROLLING.
Firstly, thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest in this. It was just a random thought whilst sat in the pub so it’s good it has actually taken shape!
We have now registered with the Soccer 6 League. The league at John Dean’s doesn’t start for about 6 weeks yet, but they have offered us matches at middlewich for the next couple of weeks. I have declined for this Sunday as i couldn’t get enough people together at short notice, but may look at doing something next week.
I think we have about 12 people who have signed up at the moment. If anybody else wants to get involved then please do so. Any other help would be appreciated also as we progress.
Anyway, i’ll keep updating on here for those who are interested. It’s either that or i’m constantly sending out a dozen text messages to people!
Hopefully see everyone at the game tomorrow. Come on Witton!
