Hi debaser,

I'd definitely be up for chipping and joining you guys, is that Y100 each i'm guessing not but it'll be split between whoever shows up?

Also are you guys around during Spring festival or are you restarting like KFC [gotta love the football team's name :o)] after the break?

Let me know

Cheers

it's been Y100 an hour for the pitch between whoever shows up. it's not the best venue and i'm waiting for John Xie (above) to get back to me with the address of a better place. most of those who come are away for the holiday and we'll start again on the first tuesday back. like i say, it's a 5-a-side kick about at the moment... if you're looking for something competitive then 'KFC' would be your best bet. Piers has all the info on them.

No, i'd just be happy to have a fun kick about rather than anything too serious.

I checked out the location through google maps

maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Just wondering if there's any good land marks near by that you could tell me about so i don't get lost.

Looking forward to meeting you guys, i'll send a text to confirm i'm coming, are you playing the 23rd?

Cheers

Rubbish! The goggle map didn't work but it shows it as being close to Baiyun Rd, close to the Jiahao Hotel.

From memory it is just north of Lianming Rd, on the left side of Chuanjin Rd as you walk north.

On the street there is what appeared to be a hotel lobby (not sure if it was a hotel), if you ask in there they have no idea that Happy Soccer is at the back of the courtyard right behind. There is a driveway/entrance on the right hand side, there are also restaurants and a foot massage place in the courtyard.

Looks like it might be at a different place next time anyway.

It's actually part of the Ri Xin Hotel complex. Go up Chuanjin Lu, over the train tracks about 300m or so on the left. There's a gateway into a car park and the football pitches are at the back right of the car park.

There is a better astro turf pitch on the north ring road but I can't for the life of me remember the address. It's part of a sports complex with swimming pool, tennis, badminton etc.

If you guys are short of numbers, there may be some guys on the team who might be interested in joining 5-a-side. Send an email to [email protected] asking Will to forward to all team members.

FYI the football club runs both competitive teams in a league as well as more relaxed friendly match team. Anybody can join, some of us (me in particular) are more crap than others!
