Yellow Fever Kick Around Season 10/11

It's that time again.

For anyone who doesn't know what this is.

The Yellow Fever Kick Around is a way of getting a lot of you guys on here off the fever site and onto a football pitch for a friendly kick around.

A lot of us have made a lot of new friends through this, and its pretty cool to get to know the people you chat, debate and argue with.
And last season Siggy even graced us with his presence and skill. As seen in the above picture.

Im thinking of starting this up on Sunday the 24th of this month at either Martin Luckie or Rubgy League park. I will also look into Te Whaea, but that would require people bringing a few dollars.
I will update this thread with the time and place for the game as it will change each week, factoring in home and away games.

FAQ'S-

Footwear - Whatever you feel comfortable playing in, except bare feet, because most people wear boots.
Shin pads - Depends how tough you are, but its been proved in the past that they are helpful.
Colors - You dont need to wear any particular color, as we usually have bibs or are big enough to remember faces.

There is also a Facebook group which will have all the details for each one.

I reckon the turfs a goer, I don't mind paying a small amount and from what I heard the turfs pretty cheap to hire.

Also Turf means real goals.CboZ2010-10-07 17:43:07

What would a turf be,a gold coin or $5 at worst? May as well go for that. Though I guess it's not like pitches will be muddy elsewhere..

Allegedly

I'll look into it. The only problem is getting enough people to show up to keep the price on us low.
We have had some awesome luck with Martin Luckie Park.
Plus rugby league park is a perfect surface, as its where the Hurricanes and Lions train. Favourite of the Fever.

I don't think I'd play when there are perfectly good pitches round the corner.

after the most woeful season to date I need to find any way to get fit apart from running without a ball - which I am not programmed to do. So will be mighty keen to join you again to play. And don't mind bringing a tenner to play on the turf, either. see ya there.

I think most of the main drivers of this in the past, don't post much any more. But when you get a day like today, I'm sure there would be a few people who would be interested if it could be resurrected.
