Hertha Berlin vs Hoffenheim

3.30pm kick-off, Sunday 6th May 2012, Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany

Nothing concrete planned yet, just trying to gauge interest. I propose flying out on the Friday night, returning Monday, which is a bank holiday.

If you’re interested, please comment so we can see if it’s worth arranging the team’s third epic session in Berlin.

The future of Sporting Apostrophes – have you say!

Posted under Announcements, The league

As some of you will know, Powerleague have announced that the Liverpool Street venue will be closing some time in mid-October.

The options for Sunday league 5-a-side in London are surprisingly limited; the only option as I see it is to stay at Liverpool Street for the next 4 to 5 weeks when we’ll be transferred to Powerleage Docklands (Crossharbour DLR).

Crossharbour is admittedly not as central as Liverpool Street but realistically we’re not going to find anywhere that is, and it’s easily reached from Bank on the DLR in about 15 minutes. The pitches are 2 minutes walk from the station.

I’d be interested to hear what you guys think though – are you up for a weekly trip to Crossharbour?

Hertha Berlin vs FC Augsburg

2pm kick-off, Sunday 15th May 2011, Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany

Dates – not sure… could do a mammoth, one-day session on the Sunday, or go on the Friday or Monday. Open to suggestions, and we can of course travel at different times. Match ticket price – TBC, but I’ll book above the Ostkurve, so it’ll be about 15 Euros. Accommodation – same place as before, so depending on numbers we’re talking 10-15 Euros a man per night. Flights – anywhere from £50-£100 return, depending on where you fly from and what days you’re there.

Farnsworth the centurion

Posted under Announcements

farnsworth_legend.jpg

“Farnsworth must now be considered amongst the greatest onion bag violators of all time. From left to right: Windass, Muller, Pele, Farnsworth.”

Apostrophes legend Farnsworth chalked up his 100th career goal in Sunday’s match against Swan and Speedos. The “terrorist” from Yorkshire achieved his century in just 48 appearances, making a mockery of Torres’ much lauded 50 goals in 72 matches. “Guarantee” Farnsworth capped his record-breaking performance with a 7-goal haul, a personal best for the in-fom striker.

“We’ll need the extra revenue from promotion if we’re to keep hold of him,” remarked chairman Ernest Borgnine. “The fax machine is ablaze with offers from Real Madrid, Man Utd, A.C. Milan and Rotherham. You name a big, prestigious club and I promise you, they’ve come in with a multi-million proposal.”

Farnsworth made his debut for the world’s favourite club against Matraquilhos FC on 20th July 2008.
