FSE looking for billets...

From the latest edition of Miramar Rangers' newsletter. Presume they don't care where the billets come from.

Billets Required URGENTLY!!!...

Miramar Rangers AFC is looking for people in the club who could assist with billeting young players joining the club and Team Wellington for the up and coming season.  There are approximately four payers coming to Wellington to participate in the Phoenix/Team Wellington Football School of Excellence Programme that will need billeting.  This programme will see a number of youth players play for Team Wellington whilst being given the opportunity to train with the Wellington Phoenix.  

The players range in age from 17-19 and the expectation is that the billet arrangement will until the middle of 2014 whilst the players settle in Wellington and work out their long term accommodation options.  

We are looking for accommodation for 1 boy on his own, and also for 2 boys billeted together. The player or players will contribute towards the costs of 'full board up to $200 per week each.  If you are able and willing to assist please email Shaun Gill who will contact you to discuss the details further.

sl*gging players off. The forums are not a place for sl*gging players, fans, or officials off without a defence of your position (Jag you pedantic Scots git). It is ok to express an informed view on why a particular player did or did not play well. It is not ok to start a thread along the lines of "so and so is crap". People who start such threads, or continue to comment along those lines, will be banned. If you see any posts that are offensive use the "report" button.

Strange? That's a mild description

Nothing in that to say we can't slag rosie off...

:-)

Anyway Smiffy, hows rhe search for billets going? Sorry I wont be able to be of any assistance to you!

I like her.

mum?

No she's here

This is a resounding no.  Last thing I need is my wife drapping herself over a fit, 19 year old guy while I try to watch Deal or No Deal.

that just makes it more disturbing

In a bit more seriousness, I am not sure that living with me would be the best idea for an aspiring young athlete.  I did contemplate it though, and hopefully others on here (who are able) will look at getting involved.

Interested to know if anyone is actually getting involved in this?  I am in the wonderful position of being able to say "yeah, I would have done this but am shortly leaving the country", where in actual fact I am not sure if I actually would have gone through with it if I was staying.  It is a pretty big undertaking, especially if (like me) you haven't actually lived with anyone but your partner/family for well over 10 years.  I am sure that anyone getting involved in something like this would be offering a massive service to the club, so hopefully someone with different circumstances (who is less selfish) is actually getting involved.
