    You can wear sporting trousers. I usually do if weather permits. If it's the summer I wear my kick boxing trousers. I think if we had 8 v 8 we can keep the pitch the same size. This allows people with pace and endurance to blossom.

    Yeah, tracksuits usually. Meh, I'm not afraid; I even slide tackle on concrete. Always end up bleeding :p:

    If it were 8v8 I don't think we could make the half-pitch any smaller. It's perfect; gives enough room for freedom of expression.

    I used to be a top-3 long distance runner in my year at secondary school if that helps. :p:

    So for an 8 v 8 it would be £8 roughly. For 11 v 11 it's £5.77 roughly. I'm assuming that's for any amount of people using it per hour.

    But by the responses so far we're heading for the 7 a side option, which will work out about £4 an hour each if we have 14 people attending. Since we're playing on a Saturday we won't be needing flood lighting, if we can book a Saturday slot, that is.

    Sound as. I'll enquire nearer the time.

    Which I guess is the next point...

    Think if we can get 10 from each side as their name down then, even if people pull out, we'd have enough for 7 or 8 a side.

    Mon-Fri is good as well. Just I work during the week and I don't live in London any more (though I may return next academic year). Bearing in mind its winter, we're going to have fairly limited slot without floodlights because it gets dark soon.

    It's true; I'm worried about it getting dark so early. If we do play it would ideally be before 4pm; that's around the earliest time the darkness descends.

    But how many of us can make it Mon-Fri before 4pm? I can't. Don't know about others though. Would probably be easier if I stayed in London. :p:

    Weekend at 4pm?

    I'm going to bed now; more discussion tomorrow maybe. I'm still surprised this might actually be happening... night gang.

    Dan get your lazy arse on a team!

    I can do weekend at 4pm. Just I'm contracted to work during the week and I get a train to Waterloo. Yes you need sleep.

    Re: What's the greatest honour in club football?
    The League title is harder to win (if we're assuming a top league) but winning the European Cup is probably the bigger 'honour'
