First things first, although this isn't Forest banter, I wanted everyone to see it, so nobody feels left out.
Last season we had a relatively poor turn out and we were demolished by, on average, 20+ goals per week. It was a good laugh, but there wasn't the uptake in playing I would have expected from a group of people united by a love of football.
Well, a new league is starting this season, and hopefully we can be a little more active in procuring new players than Forest are currently being.
The league will be on a Tuesday night and the games are 30 minutes long. The cost is £25 per team, so if there are 8 of us, it's a shade over £3 each. Peanuts really!
The league is starting at the end of the month, so it gives us a couple of weeks to get a list of interested people together and get it sorted.
As many will be aware, fitness is a big issue for a one or two of us, so having more than the required 5 players is always handy!
There will be a tournament to sort out the rankings before the league commences, so we shouldn't be lumped in with a bunch Man Utd youth team players, and hopefully will be playing matches against fat old men. (Nutter, it's too obvious a joke, so don't make it!)
We should have a sparkling new kit for the start of the season too, so we may look like we know what we're doing.
Obviously the games are only 30 minutes long, so we should be able to make the games a little bit more competitive, hopefully anyway.
All we need now is a list of people interested in playing on a regular basis. Obviously there will be the guest appearances from Winnits and CT to look forward to too, but I don't think they can commit to regular appearances. If I'm wrong, you're obviously both a lot more than welcome to enter into the regular rotation.
So, if anyone is interested in making regular appearances can you PM your phone number and your real name so I can get a squad sorted out.
Also, include your age, as there are age restrictions at Powerleague.
Hopefully this season we can make a decent go of it.
Remember, this isn't some cliquey thing, anyone and everyone is welcome, so get involved and have a bit of a laugh. Doesn't matter if your 16 or 63, get yourself involved!
I expect a better turnout than last season!

Talk to me, Goose.
I wonder how many times I have to bump this before I get told off or Winny gives in and stickies it?
Also i will just add to that by saying I am planning entering us into the tournament at the end of the month on Thursday 24th.
I will announce more details nearer the time.
I would play...but it's just too far away really and I can't drive yet. Can't really be bothered to get multiple buses there either as I don't know exactly where it is.
It's not that far out of town mate, where are you coming from?
You could check my profile. :POriginally Posted by richjcrouch
Coming from Derbyshire. It takes me and my mate about 45 minutes to an hour to get to the City Ground, if that's any help to you?

I suppose Derbyshire is quite far away, that said, it's only 10 minutes on a train!
It's a bit far for me, which is a good job, because basically, I'm shite.
I'll happily keep bumping the thread though Rich.
Cheers mate!
If you're ever in Nottingham on a Tuesday night though, come down and play!
I'm not sure. I do like a bit of Powerleague but I am monumentally unfit and it's cold.
Last time I played at powerleague I was in bed for two days afterwards.
Can I be super sub?
In a dress?
How dare you say such a thing and besmirching my good character with unsubstantiated rumour!!
It's what I do best
Being stuck out in Peterborough makes it a bit difficult, otherwise I'd be happy to lend you my golden goalkeeping skills.
If I'm ever in Nottingham when you're playing I will make a guest appearance.
Find out who Leeds United are trying to sign, and sign them up instead.
Were about in Nottingham is it?
