Very much so, come along. It's pretty gentle and you'll get encouragement if you muck up.

Richard who was there on Sunday is a possible, plus a couple more lads I play 5-a-side and Futsal with.

Might end up with a couple of matches at this rate.

I can now confirm my presence - 3 years since I kicked a ball in anger, so I'll start stretching the hammies now

ballane you should just come along.  It will be very pedestrian.  Clearly you have never seen News play.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

It would need to be as my specialist would not be pleased at being called out on a sunday.

Ballane, Lonegunmen and myself nearly have a combined age of 100 and HN weighs at least that so you wont be out of place.

Yep Confirmed just now, me (47) & my nephew (23ish) will be there sunday the 3rd of Feb. I'm the one with the fat guts and QPR jersy on! But a bit of banter and meeting most of you for the first time will make it all worth it.

Im hoping to be able to leave work early, claiming a sevens hangover.

Allegedly

I'll go in as a "possible". I'm going to the sevens and if its anything like previous years I'll be in a pretty bad state come Sunday when I regain consciousness.

If I can manage it I'll come up, even if I just park myself in front of one of the goals with a bottle of water and some nurofen.

Sorry boys and girls, looks like I have a team training game Sunday afternoon, so won't be there. Definitely keen when I can make it though.

myself, Tim Butterfield and Dave Batty played in a 3 man midfield for Miramar last season, with a combined age of 100.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Your call, one shin injury last week.

boots[/QUOTE]

Might be a bit solid underfoot, but some will be in boots.

[QUOTE=DKP22]Retro Ricki


Smith will have Bibs, so your call (mine are in the wash).

[QUOTE=DKP22]defibrillator?


Advisable.

Cracking day alright and I've pulled up fine from yesterday's festivities. I'll be in a Cesc shirt to celebrate us being back at the top of the table.

Apologies to anyone who popped uo to Kelburn too late... cricket meant an emergency relocation to Anderson Park.
