The Pitch

[rimmer]

Now then lads, I know this is now a ghost town of a website following the infamous Cyber-Wars, but this is important. I need a few lads input so I can give our suggestions at the meeting. By the way, anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome.

This is the agenda. Any thoughts?

[Journeyman]

Is this the proposals for the new Alder Lane?

I like the idea of a bar and a ladies hockey pitch?

Hopefully our games will clash and the changing room and showers will have to be shared with them.

[To be revealed at the Meeting]

Ok, having read the e-mail I think it is inevitable that you will all find out but I am a member of the Pink Panthers

[Adamant]

All I want is there to be a 'Alder Lane - Home of Parbold FC' sign on the gates as we walk in.

Alternatively 'Alder Lane - The Pink Panthers Labyrinth' is just as acceptable.

[home owner]

my one request would be some sort of high fence - electrified with barbed wire, knives and 9mm oozie machine guns attached that shoot when it detects a gang of tramps coming close to keep the stinkin gippos out with their crappy carny and wrecking the hallowed turf!

[Archie]

Any news from the meeting Rimmer?

[Hugh Janus]

messgae to the management / administrators:

please do not ever consider moving to abbey lane again! we would never ever play, the pitches are always water-logged hence this weekends game being off! They are a fecking joke.
