Big Match 11

[richwidd]

Big Match 11 - Friday 31st May 2013 - Kick Off 7.15pm (ish)

After 10 years of "this is the Last one", this definitely is the final Big Match at St Georges Lane.

For a long time now, at the end of the Season we have staged the "Big Match" which is a game where supporters of Worcester City FC get to be proper footballers for a few hours. Some look the part, some play the part but most are neither which makes it the best night of the year for those involved.

The "Home Team" play the "Away Team" and both get to run out to "TIme is Tight" wearing the first team kit and the game is set up exactly as it is for a first team match.

It is open to any Supporter aged 16-105 (with Tim Munslow currently the world record holder for the oldest player to ever play football.)

If you would like to take part it costs £35. Due to the expected demand there is no reduction this year for starting as a sub and it will be first come first served on the starting 11.

If you do start as sub, it won't be long before you get on as we operate roll on roll off substitutions so everyone gets to play for at least 70-75 minutes.

There are 15 places available in each team and unlike previous years the only way to reserve a place is to pay the £35 within two weeks of booking yuour place. If you wish to pay by cheque it needs to be made out to "Worcester City FC Supporters Trust."

If you wish to be a Match Ball Sponsor, you can donate anything you like which gives you Free Entry to the Match and you get to sit in the Directors Box.

Brooksider retired from professional management after the victorious penalty shoot out of BM9 - but he will return again to manage the Home side to one final victory!!!

[Deleted]

I'm in - but if I get taken off I promise I'll throw a massive strop!

[Deleted]

Ealing, I'll hold you to that, a full 90 minutes as a wing-back!!

[Deleted]

No problem.

[The Verner]

Count me in Rich, home side for me, want that trophy back !

[Mark]

Rich, I made a vow to score at the Lane in one of these games. Since my beautifully guided goal of two years ago was ruled out due to someone allowing the ball to go out of play before crossing it to me I must have one last go. Count me in!!! I will look for you on Saturday, cheque or cash at the ready..............and on the night I will shoot at every opportunity.

[stevebadsey]

One more roll of the dice - im in

[Deleted]

I plan on rectifying last years awful miss. Definitely count me in.

"...which gives you Free Entry to the Match and you get to sit in the Directors Box." yes you too can be Dave Boddy for the evening! Who could refuse?

[cogg]

You guys need an 'official' photographer for the night ? ;-)

[Deleted]

Cogg, how will you take photos whilst also cruising down the right wing?

[cogg]

My cruising days are over ;-) I am tempted to play though! If I can get Mr Sewell to join me I might be in....

[DazaB]

I would like the chance to, erm, "play under brooksider" one last time, please count me in if there is a space, I will post a cheque.

[Croc]

Count me in Rich - after all those years of going down the Lane (mainly refereeing and whatnot) - I have never actually played a game on it. I want this to change this year.

Will pop down with cash in next week / 10 days

[pedant]

Well if croc is playing and you are in need a referee for Big Match 11, I will happily offer my services.

I will also chuck some money in the hat for the honour of refereeing one of the last games that will take place at SGL.

[richwidd]

Thanks to everyone who has paid already. I have put everyone above into the teams (& Dave down as Ref) so if you could send in cheques that would be great.

We have 12 spaces left as of 14/2.

[pedant]

Rich, I am popping into the office early next week to pick up a ticket for the Chester game. I will bring a cheque along for Big Match with me and leave it in an envelope addressed to you.

[Deleted]

Ref, you're an a**e.

[Tony is not to despondent now.]

Ealing how can he be a referee and an a**e (ie assistant referee)at the same time?

[Deleted]

I'm trying to get him to red card me before the game starts, so I don't have to embarrass myself on the night.

[pedant]

Nice try ealing, but I am gonna "cock a deaf-un" just so I can watch you suffer!

[cogg]

Pedant, can you ask Croc before the game what is considered as offside, and then disregard everything he says during the game ? many thanks ;-)

[Croc]

While you're at it Pedant - ask Cogg about defending on the edge of your own box ;-)

[timj]

Any spaces left? Part of me wants to try and score the last goal at the Lane!

[Deleted]

go for it Tim! I'll sign you up for my boys!!

[pedant]

I am dreading blowing the last ever final whistle at the lane. So much so in fact that I might just be tempted never to blow it and we can all keep playing until Carey New Homes have us forceably removed!

Has anyone checked SGL for spiders?
