Hi there guys, good job with your site, looks great!

Anyway, I received a PM from Cappo on Alternative Nation where i was trying to set up an Inter Forum freindly with them, hence why I am here.

Il keep this simple as i could waffle into details all night.
My name is Jamie and I am helping set up some freindlies/charity matchs against forums based in the Glasgow area.

I am involved in a succesfull Rangers website/forum, and we are starting up a football team. We have arranging a few friendlies with other Rangers forums (i.e. followfollow), strathycruise, Celtic forums, and Alt Nation.

Since we have such a great feedback in the past few days, we are considering setting up a Inter Forum League:
http://212.67.202.137/~badger/football/index.php

Which will later on this evening become:

http://www.theforumleague.co.uk

My intentions are simple:

1) Would you like to set up a freindly match with our forum? Our website is http://www.rangersmedia.com and http://www.rangersmediaforum.com
(admin, feel free to edit this out if deemed unacceptable)

2) If this is successful, and considering we could have potentially a high single figure number of other Glasgow based forums, would you like to particapte in a league?

We wouldnt expect you to play every Sunday, or Wednesday or what. Just the games would be played within a 2 week period.

This isnt a money mkaing scheme, as all we would require money for is cost of the pitch and the ref.

Thanks for showing any interest in our project. :smt001

Posting links to your forum mate is absolutely fine on this forum, we're all for promoting traffic between sites.

I'll let cappo etc etc get back to you on your other suggestions.

So you'll be smadaj then? :smt002

I think we'd be quite interested in the league idea but I'd have to get all the boys that organise the team togheter and see for sure.

As I was saying to you on the AN board, the league we were involved in started really well and then a couple of teams dropped out and since around August time, it's pretty much fallen away all together.

The guy organising our league had the same idea as yourself basically with a two week period to organise and play a fixture rather than tying anyone down to a specific date. That still proved to be a problem a times though with teams who aren't brilliantly organised, struggling to get parks or arrange enough bodies for whatever night the teams had agreed on.

This leads to other problems with ringers. I think it's a cracking idea that you're thinking of having a registered squad to avoid this. Our only problem would be that through injury and other varying reasons, we've not had a settled keeper this year. We've used about five. None of the are particularly better than the others so it's not what you'd call ringers but I don't know how that would sit with the registered names we'd supply........it's just a thought.

I'm sure we'd be up for a friendly before it all kicked off though as we're always looking for games.

Have you got many lined up so far? What dates are you available? We're free for most Sunday's after the 15th of October till the end of November.

Have you played FollowFollow yet? If you're around their level, we're probably pretty evenly matched. We played Forest Amateurs (got beat 2-1) and they'd drawn with FF the week before.

What's the deal with the money situation? Would you want money upfront to be booking parks and refs or would you just let the teams playing sort out a time and date and book the pitch and split the costs?

I'll be talking to the rest of the boys in to see what they think but let us know if you want a friendly. If nothing else, it's a few more contacts for teams wanting to play a few friendlies with each other in the mean time.

Cheers

Interesting prospect, certainly worth talking about more.

The only thing that might put me off is the experience we've had this year with the league, and that is really just down to organisation. As cappo says we'll have to talk about it amongst ourselves.

In the meantime, feel free to keep us informed of things as they progress.

A friendly is a good idea too.

Great stats on the rangersmedia site by the way, for the first time since the dynamo site was launched, I've got stat envy. :smt013

Hi Jadams. :smt006

Absolutely not much I can add here as Cappo and Bob seem to have covered everythin' here.

I'd definetely consider this though and I'm more up for it than not.

What about the 12th of November then?

We'll book Firhill and the ref. We can book the park two weeks before hand........

Can get the 10am or 1.20pm slots. Their 11.40am slot is a block booking.

Or actually the 19th of November would be better for us.........
