Clayton Barracks is a 10min walk to Princess avenue, where the astro pitches are. Probably looking at £4 per taxi??? Distance is 1.3miles

Not for me this year Jim....im afraid after back probs last year i really dont fancy another dose of Deano clattering into me and spending another 3 months off work! Although hopefully il be down before you finish playing for a quick grope!LOL
Stoney,
just thinking of the walk back after the meeting. Tend not to walk in straight lines after a couple, especially if a kebab is involved.
as for playing for Jarvy that fathead could'nt run a bath and unfortunately wont be there.
See you all tomorrow fellas.
Oh for all the fashion victims the kit we've got is LIME GREEN so we may well be blending in with the pitch, always time for cam and concealment.

I am sure Dave got some better pics but there is a few listed above that I took.
I ache a lot... I am never entering again... Our team (Carp-forums) was a two man side until i roped in a couple of ringers at the very last minute.
Fantastic event with for one of the best causes out there :)
Team Korda took it a little seriously I felt ;)
LOL at Team Korda, vicious apart from Garth who was lovely :)
I so wanted to play against Korda. i'd have given that Hamidi bloke a proper examination :)
Surely you lot never got turned over by a team of young magazine article writers Paul?
Dean, why didnt you SHOW them the ways of the Oramatrix?
Great laugh, thoughly enjoyed making a fool of myself with my silky smooth non footballing skills. My legs are OK suprisingly.
Excellent to see how much we all helped to raise for Stoney & Friends.

Well done all of you for raising so much money & putting your bodies on the line.
I bet some of you are hurting bad.
I used to be mustard in my youth, was persuaded to play for a certain team as a ringer few years back, it was quite a good standard........

I wondered what you were doing down there :eek: :norty:
PMSL!! I have trawled through 600 photos from the football and what a great bunch of nutters you are!! Between the footie and the evening that followed we raised over £1000 for Stoney & Friends on Saturday and you are all stars indeed-thank you so much.
I have been talking to Steve Fantauzzi today on how to develop the concept for next year and we have come up with an idea that I would like your comments on.
How about we run 2 tournaments side by side? The ECHO Cup for the "serious" football players and the newly devised ECHO Booby Cup for the "less serious"?
Just a thought, but I reckon this would make for a brilliant twist on what is becoming a regular annual fund raising event. The ECHO Booby cup would enable the juniors to take a bigger part, the fish net stocking lovers to have their moment of joy, the WAG's to get more involved and leave the competitiveness and the fisticuffs to those more committed to the beautiful game to compete on a level playing field.
What do you think?
Good idea Ruth, Top 2 from say a group of 4 go to the big boys cup and the bottom 2 qualify for the booby trophy
Potty, Man of the match, scoring them and saving them on the line, top football fella.
Having seen Potty's training pitch its a wonder he can run upright at all!!!

Take note, Potty was wearing a black leather corset tied up tight, hence the upright appearance.......
Yes Ruth i like the idea of having a seperate comp for the not so serious footballers / cross dressers. may even get more teams to take part.
Good Plan, 2 cups would work well

Good Plan, 2 cups would work well
Daymo, for gods sake dont mention 2 cups to Stoney :eek: :eek:
can totally appreciate where ruth is coming from but i must admitt these tournaments have been great fun in their current guise and it would be a shame to have to change it cos a few wanna be footballers cant have a laugh with the rest of us.
my son has played in the last two and realy loves the mix of having a laugh in the early stages and then trying to progress against the better teams later on,the combination is "FUN" and that should surely be the point as well as raising lots of cash for a very worthy cause. if a new format raises even more money then that of course is a good reason to look at a change as that is the whole point realy but some serious players can get into the spirit of the thing and like i said enjoy the "FUN" aspect,shame that some seem to struggle with that concept
It would be interesting to see which cup Team Korda have a go for next year then.
