On the website including Ben and me, four players have indicated that they're available. Tomorrow night is adult practice, so I may be able to catch up with some of the un-ticked players and find out what the situation is? Some of the names on the list I thought had retired from the game, so that's interesting and I'll have to look into that and see if they've become un-retired?

It's all very exciting! One of the things I need to do is check out the tea lady situation and what happens if it rains. I've been baffled in the past when we've played in games that have been threatened by rain and then it has rained after initially spitting. Then we've had to wait 2-3 hours for the pitch to dry out when all that was needed was a cheap sheet of light-weight plastic to make a simple pitch cover? Why don't they do that and have it in the kit box in the club? Other questions I need to ask include - at what point due to a lack of players do we call a match off? I think we once played with 8 aside last year and I've certainly played in 9 aside teams!
More updates and thoughts tomorrow...
