king canary 8,763 Posted May 29, 2017 Hi all, Had an idea a while ago and wanted to sound out if there would actually be much enthusiasm for it on here. You can hire the Carrow Road pitch to play on for £1400 + VAT over the summer. If there were 30+ people up for it we could split the cost and have a pinkun match. Still wouldn''t be cheap but could be a great experience. Anyone interested? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted May 29, 2017 Put me in as CB and captain. [Y]I give nothing away, tough, mean, uncompromising, controlling and not afraid to go in where it hurts. [8o|](at least, that''s what the wife says). [:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,770 Posted May 29, 2017 It would be a laugh!I don''t want to be on Highlands team though. He''ll claim a lack of ambition that we didn''t pay 3000 for the pitch before we even start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 500 Posted May 29, 2017 You''re looking at May 2018 now though as this years dates have finishedThe pitch is set to be available from Monday, May 8 until Sunday, May 28, 2017, with four sessions scheduled each day (9:00-12:00, 12:30-15:30, 16:00-19:00, 19:30-22:30)*.

TIL 1010 5,246 Posted May 29, 2017 If you want a back four with a combined age in excess of 250 put me down with Lappinitup, ricardo and Nutty. May i suggest Waveney in goal as absolutely nothing would get past him believe me. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,926 Posted May 29, 2017 I remember this idea came around a long while back and there was decent interest. It may have been a Pinkun-only affaire but I think that it was with a view to playing the 606 crowd?At any rate, I''d be interested. So long as it isn''t in the next week, as I''m in the late stages of recovering from a hamstring tear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,770 Posted May 30, 2017 If you''re after someone with the self-entitlement of Mark Fortheringham and the ability to match (aside from the Fozzy flick), you won''t be (too) disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted May 30, 2017 The last time I played at Carrow Road, I tucked a penalty beyond Robert Green...(as has pretty much anyone else who''s ever taken one against him)I''d certainly be interested, although I would be happy if it was 2018 as I need about a year to get fit enough to run up and down a full sized pitch again, been predominantly playing 5aside due to getting a job that sadly includes Saturday working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,763 Posted May 30, 2017 OK so it seems like there is some interest (and some creepy stuff between Diane and Parma...). Does anyone know how to get a thread pinned on here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,462 Posted May 30, 2017 Don''t put yourself itself down Frankie, we may well buy you for £8.5m, pay you £50k per week and give you a 3 year contract with an option...😂💪😊Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great day but the pitch was huge compared to what I''d played on before. Away changing rooms are awful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted May 31, 2017 Well, it looks like Parma has scored already, with an offer on a plate from Diane, to relieve you with her, erm, umm ''sponge''!!! [:$][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,174 Posted May 31, 2017 I Played there 20 years ago ! wow how time flies i still remember how i thought it was like walking on very thin ice due to the layer of sand on the turf like a crust on top of the soft ground underneathi can remember i did a sliding tackle near the away fans area i am surprised the mark is not still there i took so much turf up !
