Do you want to play for Gasroom FC?

It is indeed! I’ll leave the poll open until about Sunday and then start to finalise numbers, and whether we have one team or two.

After that, we’ll need to design our kit.

@bluntphil and Captain Jack Grimmer on comms for the livestream must happen.

Surely Jack will be sunning himself on the Costa del Dee in June, won’t he?

There’d probably be more takers for a Gasroom walking football team.

Steady on. Reduce the criteria any further and I’ll be in the frame. Literally.

If this was 20 years earlier, I’d be well up for it. With my knees like margerine tubs, I wouldn’t get past the pre-match warmup.

Knees shot I’m afraid, I think I was rounding fatty foulkes when they both gave out.

I want @Chairboys80 as our manager as he seems to know football better than most

I’’m not sure Captain Jack is a man who reacts too well to the sun. Definitely a Factor 50 man in the shade.

How do you organise a team with everyone an avowed football expert?

Giving this a bump as we’ll start to finalise numbers after today, drop your name into the poll if you’re interested!

I would have loved to be involved… especially as by then I’d be 41 and be a spring chicken in the over 40s!

But that is when I plan to be away somewhere hot and sunny :sun:… well ask again in a few weeks… . This fcuking middle East war may well ruin my plans… .

Please find sign-up links below. The cost to enter is £40 per player.

Over 40s squad
Under 40s squad

Based on the poll, wee still have 1 space left in the U40s, and 3 in the 40+ team. This will operate on a first come, first serve basis.

When prompted, please fill in your name, address and phone number accurately, as WWFC will likely need this information for insurance purposes.

If we get the full 20 to sign-up (10 per squad), the actual cost per player out to £35. We will spend any extra money on half-time oranges, waters, powerades etc.

If we get less than 17 players, we will cover the difference with the Gasroom kitty, rather than chasing people for it. We are also looking into designing a custom Gasroom kit too.

Hi guys

As someone who cannot for a variety of reasons participate, I would love to support this financially if that is possible (happy to offer £15-25)

Let me know

After some strong initial interest in the poll, we’ve had very few paid signs-up for this.

If we don’t have at least 5 per squad by next week, unfortunately we will probably have to give this one a miss and refund the payments.

Thank you!

Unfortunately sign ups are still too limited for us to field a team, so we’ll not be able to enter the competition. If you have paid to play already we will refund your money today, it may take 5–10 days to appear on your statement.

That’s a shame but thanks for putting the idea forward. Hopefully the Foundation and all who partake have a cracking day and the event stays injury free!
