Enter 1 or 2 old thorns 5's teams on a wednesday night at goals wimbledon.
It Benefits fitness and club integration between teams.
We cant seem to get a decent training pitch and this offers a good alternative as we dont do training drills anyway. If we got enough interest we could create more teams.
So many people cant get there for a 7 start, i reckon 8pm would be better. Also can we do some actual training and not just have a game. Think it would be a massive boost to the club. Any chance of hiring a bigger pitch too?
I suggest you put on a poker night, but does anyone have an idea of a private club or someplace decent where we can secure a venue to put something on?
Can you include something like a 'Know your team mates' section?
You could ask the same questions each month to a different player and publish in the monthly newsletter. Similar to Soccer AM. Would be a good read I reckon
I thought perhaps its time we had a really good club crest for future merchandise.
I have had a quick go at redesigning the crest, if any of you are good at design (Harry Metzger) would you have a go and we will put them all to a vote on doodle and the best one will remain as the new club crest.
Naturally, there's a lot of bragging amongst the lads about who is the fittest, quickest etc So, I'd like to see if players within the club are interested in a bleep test so that we can put this debate to bed! I've already made enquiries with a fitness expert who can set the whole thing up for £4 a head. I think a bleep test now and then one towards the end of the preseason could be a good way to go about it. Can you ...more »

It will most likely be on a Sat morning

I think the OT Newsletter needs a name! Maybe throw in a gift voucher/cinema tickets or something for the best suggestion?
At the end of the season how about we have a tradition that the four teams within the club play each other. 1st XI vs 2nd XI and 3rd XI vs 4th XI over 90 mins. Maybe we could turn it into a mini tournament?
A few people have suggested an OT's Sports day. This could involve different sports, prizes and fun competitions at the end of the season. Good idea?
Is it worth putting together a system where you can see who is driving to games, then teammates can get lifts, or take it in turns to drive etc each week. Will probably help with everyone arriving to games on time / together also.
After Dave's little gaffe on camera last week can we add the question "What's your favourite protein?" to the 'Tell us about your Teamates' section of the newsletter?
Cheers,
Lefty
