GCAFC Vs. Supporters CONFIRMED

[Joe]

Gloucester City first XI will be taking on a fans XI on Thursday 26th of April at Meadow Park, with the game kicking off at 7.15pm.

All genuine fans are welcome, and the cost to play against your heroes will be £10 per person, which will be donated to the Supporters Trust. The match will (probably) be 90 minutes with rolling subs, so everyone who wants a go will get one.

Please bring a yellow and black home shirt if you have one, and preferably black shorts and socks.

Thanks to Tim for making this possible. I believe the bar will be open with food available, if all goes to plan.

Please add your name here if you want to play:

1. Joe Green (player-manager!)
2. Shandy
3. Dr. Wart
4. Dr. Wart Junior
5. Mark Compton
6. Paul 'Pablo' Clark
7. Travis Whittaker
8. Drakey
9. Clifty
10. Phil Gough
11. Ian DeMaria
12. Rio
13. Dom Squires
14. Special guest!

[Dr Wart Hoover]

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

I'll have a piece of that action. Suppose its my last chance to try and claim a place in next season's squad and fulfill the lifelong dream of pulling on the yellow and black!

[Pablo]

Yes please Joe!

[Simon]

I'm not totally sure whether I'd be available due to revision for my exams taking precidence at the moment etc.

[Neil]

Darren, at even fifty percent you're faster than a Skoda. Play, or you'll take 10 off the gate

[Dr Wart Hoover]

[stout]

In Florida and you're on the COF? Now thats dedication!!!


Or as Shandy would put it

This is a dick waving thread. A case of look at me with me big house and snowmobiles being able to live comfortably in the land of the neocapitalists, all bow down and pay homage. Don't you wish you were me?



:notworthy: :notworthy:

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Two different things Stout

You've got a so called Cheltenham fan moving abroad to live, and writing back telling us what a wonderful life he has, snowploughs included. Obviously loves his club very much to move so far away :tosser:

Clifty on the other hand is on holiday, and despite all of the happy distractions still obviously has City near the front of his mind and is therefore logging in to see what's going on. Two ends of a different scale. :notworthy:

You're like a little Cheltenham mosquito coming on here to try and irritate me. Be warned, the last one to do that I dealt with a heavy blow, spilling their claret all over the walls. Be warned. :tosser:

[Neil]

Stout, are you a scummer? I sure hope not because this is a scum free forum.

[stout]

Nelly yes i am and am very proud to one:tosser:

[Joe]

i am and am very proud to one:tosser:

You illiterate mong.

[Clifty]

yep having a great time and still almost two weeks left! thanks to neil for keeping me updated all afternoon!!

[IJD]

Stick me down please Joe

[Joe]

Cheers Ian.

Ideally I'd like 5 or 6 more in order to make more money for the Trust. So keep signing up people!

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

You'll have no problems Joe, people are coming forward far quicker than they have in the past. Its an Abi Titmus., ie a goer.

[Clark_Griswald]

Yes Please Ladies and Gents!

Will miss not getting tight to Mouse this year tho...:p

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

This is against the first team not the ladies, Clark

[rio]

Would love to play part of the game please Joe -and thanks for arranging this

If he's gonna be there and not playing, could we get Tim to 'manage' our team -its gotta be a career highlight for the guy ? !

[Pablo]

And 'sack' Joe, you're kidding! Tim could do a job in goal for us though, that could be quite funny.

[Clark_Griswald]

This is against the first team not the ladies, Clark

Right you are Shandmeister. I'll get my coat, and close the door behind me....

[IJD]

Just posting to get this back on first page to see if sparks any more interest

[Darran]

Im going to have to rule myself out as i wouldnt be able to make it down in time

[Clifty]

really looking forward to this! would certainly be interesting to have Tim as our manager, although that might rule out the ability to walk on and off of the pitch when we get knackered!!

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

I take it we have enough players. If we are struggling let me know and I could get in a couple of ringers

[Joe]

I think we'll be alright. 14 so far. I might get my housemates along, as although they're not part of the City 'community' (so to speak), they've each been to over 15 games this season, so should certainly qualify as genuine fans in my opinion.

If anyone has Guy Lamiman's number, I'd like to get him in goal.:confused:

[Clifty]

joe just quick confirmation, what kit do we need to bring, or do we have the orange one??

[Dommotyger]

Joe can I be put down for this please

[Joe]

Bring the yellow ad black home kit I reckon. Black shorts and socks if possible please.

[Joe]

Any more takers? We now have a special guest turning out for us too!

The more the merrier. None of us can run for more than 10 minutes, so we need some more cover.

Are you going to play Adam?

[Clifty]

joe i assume that special guest is the person that we were talking about on saturday??

[Joe]

joe i assume that special guest is the person that we were talking about on saturday??

Nope mate!

[Clifty]

oh right ok! random! i have emailed that other person about merthyr. awaiting a response!

[Dommotyger]

joe i can run more than 10 mins!

i only have the old glos city yellow and black top from last season is that ok.........

[Joe]

That kit will be fine Dom.

Good work with the e-mail Clifty.

[Dommotyger]

does anyone have any spare size 10 moulds at all

[Clifty]

[Growlithe]

Aargh! With Captain Steve Chase pulling out too, we're down to the bare bones. We could be in for a bit of a battle here!

I'm going on a recruitment drive!

[Dommotyger]

Joe

We will still win! pmsl

[DRAKEY]

I have some size 9 boots spare but only spare astro turf trainers

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Joe - if you are low on numbers there's a chap in our office who would jump at the chance of a game. He's free on Thursday and lives locally - please let me know ASAP if you need him or not.

[IJD]

Bring the yellow ad black home kit I reckon. Black shorts and socks if possible please.

Can we not use one of the first team kits then?

[ItmustbeCity]

Are you going to play Adam?

I'll let you know for definite on saturday

[Clifty]

I'll let you know for definite on saturday

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

[Dommotyger]

[Joe]

I think we'll be alright mate, cheers though.

We're currently on 14, and have 4 more City fans who will hopefully up for it. We won't struggle (for numbers anyway!).

[Dommotyger]

Can we not use one of the first team kits then?

Joe are still bringing our own kit

[Joe]

Joe are still bringing our own kit

Yes please Dominic. Don't think we should borrow first team kits two days before a match.

[Dommotyger]

Good point Joseph!

[Simon]

I'm really on a shoestring whether I can play tomorrow due to Coursework deadlines on the Friday. I'm truly gutted to be honest and I'm hoping I can play.

Anyway I think Marcus Chew will be playing on Thursday, so he could possibly go in goal...

Come on Simon. The more the better!

We're already sorted for out a keeper, but Marcus is more than welcome to have a run out on pitch.

[DRAKEY]

i got sum old home shirts if needed

[IJD]

Yes please Dominic. Don't think we should borrow first team kits two days before a match.

Why not? They only need one kit for Saturday so both the away kits should eb available!

Joe - in answer to your PM - in my glory days I was a striker. Shandy and I used to terrorise the defences of the supporters teams from Merthyr, Newport, Cardiff and Hereford. :thumbsup:

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Those were the days................:notworthy:

[Pablo]

Good point Joseph!

Just a minor point, he was born a Joe, lol :)

[Dr Wart Hoover]

..looking good ... Choward is a goalhanger and I like to play attacking midfield ...

...just like to mention that I have scored in both matches against the first team, so am under huge pressure to make it 3 out of 3 (this is a MUST for our team to demonstrate consistency) ... and was hacked down in each of the previous games by an up-and-coming-star who left the club soon after - which i'm not keen to repeat.. unless you know better... is Jason Eaton playing?

[TigerMark]

When are we going to have a press release on our signing?

Neil: 3/1
Lee Randall: 5/1 :notworthy:
Neil's Dad: 14/1
Jason Eaton: 20/1
Matt Aubery: 50/1

[Joe]

When are we going to have a press release on our signing?

At the match and not before!

[Dommotyger]

Joe

will the bar be open tonight

[Joe]

Joe

will the bar be open tonight

Certainly will Dom.

Bring as many people along to watch if you can. There may be a bucket collection for spectators to donate to the Trust with!

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

My money is on one of the following to play for us:

Lee Randall
Lee Ross
Tim Harris
