Thank you REG and ALLY, for all the effort you put in to this tournament.
As always, it was a cracking day, with all the usual banter, enthusiasm and fair play.

Big thumbs up to JOHN DEVANEY and our very own IAN RIDLER for travelling so far to support the event.

Looking forward to the 78 World Cup!

I understand that you came up with the '78 WC theme - GENIUS!!!! I am definitely up for that.

When is the 1978 World Cup tournament scheduled for? This time next year or later this year?

Regards

Victor

As discussed on Sunday, I put myself forward to organise with help from other members, a 1978 WC themed event, for some time in the Autumn.

Details won't be up until Septemberish, as I don't want to detract from Stevie G's Tournament or Mark Parkers, which are both in September.

Nearer the time, I am hoping to discuss with all the Lionhearts and anyone who wants to play, what sort of date would be most suitable.

I am willing to paint up and provide the teams, and advertise the event. Obviously with my location up North, it won't be logistical to do all the booking of suitable venue or transport tables. I would appreciate help with this and the table transportation.

The Goals and balls we used on Sunday - are they the Clubs or Ally's own?

Bracknell FC was a great venue and I'm happy to use that or Maidenhead CC, or any other venue that would be suitable.

It would be nice to be able to offer a venue that is suitable for everyone to use, within reason.

Hopefully, it will be supported by as many as possible.

Sunday's event was great fun, and I would like to replicate something like that. It was played in great spirit, lots of fun and banter, skillfull Subbuteo, nice relaxed atmosphere, pub grub and a beer, and some nice little touches with the Cups, flags and bunting etc

Any thoughts or suggestions...I'm happy to listen, so that we can have a great days Subbuteo.

Regards

Ian

Hi Vic

Later this year I think.
Not sure if October or November were mentioned, but the intention was to get something on between the end of September and the close of this year.

Could get quite excited about a 78 World Cup event. It seems to be the one that sticks in the minds of many.

GENIUS, Zoran?
Not sure about that mate. I also proposed we cover all the pitches with ripped up tickets and toilet roll, and play through it.

Aha! We seem to have posted about the same time, Ian.

Refer back to Ian's post.

You bring the bog roll Steve

Last 16 maybe?

Argentina (Hosts)
West Germany
Netherlands
Brazil
Italy
Sweden
Mexico
Peru
Hungary
Poland
Scotland
Spain
Austria
France
Iran
Tunisia

OK, thanks for the replies, chaps. Presumably this will be in place of a Lionhearts meeting? If so, that would mean a max of only 4 traditional Lionhearts meets this calendar year

Why would it be in place of a Lionhearts meeting?
It's just another fix for the players that want to play more often, as I understand it.

Lionhearts have 3 meetings currently scheduled ...

September 19th, October 31st and December 12th

It's not in place of a Lionhearts meet Vic. Hope you can support it, as well as the rest of the Lionhearts when it's scheduled.

Counting the days until my next non solo flick...Roll on September...

Thanks Ian for offering to supply and paint the teams. As with the Scots Cup, I am more than happy to
donate the trophies and if everyone is in agreement organise the venue again. The advantages of using
Bracknell Town are that the Travelodge and other hotels, pubs and train station etc are all within a
few minutes of the venue. We also now have permission to serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic
bottled drinks from behind the bar.

Lighting is an issue during the winter months but if we use Bracknell, I will provide site lights on extension
poles so that all matches can be played 'under floodlight conditions'!!

I would echo your previous post and hope that this time more of the Lionhearts will be able to support
the event.

Cheers
Reg

Sounds GREAT, Reg.
And the floodlit atmosphere will be perfect, as the games were all very late in 78!
FLOODLIGHTS, TOILET ROLL all over the floor, TANGO BALLS and IAN'S SUPERB HAND PAINTED REPLICAS of the time, are all vital ingredients when it comes to creating the ULTIMATE WORLD CUP 78 EXPERIENCE.

Sounds great guys...I'm up for all of that. Appreciate the help and enthusiasm.

Right...time to grow my hair, grow a 'tash and find the tightest shorts possible

Already working on the banner and some independent web pages!
The atmosphere is going to be AWESOME!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

This should get your juices flowing...date and venue to be added.

I'll start a new thread nearer the time...

Blog / Website online!



http://apps.southenglandlionhearts.net/Blog/

Once I have finished setting it up, I will put up some features and various blog entries.
If anybody wants to add an article, just email me and I will copy and paste it as a main feature.
Then when articles have been added, anybody can make comments and talk about it, in much the same way you would on a forum.

After each themed tournament, we can customise for the next one, and continue to build up a diary of events ( past and future ).

Great idea Ian.

Steve, if I email over the photos would you be able to load them up.

Cheers

Hi Guys, Finally on here!

It's great to see all the enthusiam and ideas flowing post Sunday, which was a cracking day it has to be said. Only point i'd like you to consider is why wait until October?November when the orginal idea was to play every 6 weeks. 15th August is 6 weeks away and also 6 weeks prior to the sport relief tournament.

In answer to the question re: balls and rodded keepers they were kindly provided by Mark Smith.

Welcome, Ally!

Oh maybe but no one present on sunday mentioned being away in August.

Good to see you on here Ally.

I'm away for 3 weeks of August. If someone wants to take it all on and organise it for August, then please feel free to do so.
If not, i'm still happy to continue with the help of others.

I think there is quiet a lot going on in September, that will more than make up for August.

Mark Parkers Oldsubbuteo Tournament, Stevie G's Tourney and a regular Lionhearts meet are all planned.

All the best

Ian

This sounds very exciting! Steve and Ian - bog roll, tango balls, floodlights, afros, '78 WC - let me tell you it is genius!!!

I would be happy to help, if needed, and please docount me in!

Okay no worries, just thought with 15th August being 6 weeks between Scottish Cup and Sport Relief.It seemed like the prefect slot on paper.

Six weeks after sport relief is 7th November what about that date?

Scottish Cup Group A
Team Player points goal difference
Partick Thistle - Ally Stephen 10 points +7
Hibernian - Steve George 5 points +1
Hearts - Mark Smith 5 points -3
Dundee United - Ian Ridler 3 points -1
Dundee - Adam Douglas 2 points -4

Group B

Glasgow Celtic - Zoran Higgins 10 points +4
Forfar Athletic - Callum Smith 7 points +3
Motherwell - Max Ria 4 points -2
Glasgow Rangers - Reg Honeybul 3 points -1
Kilmarnock - John Devaney 2 points -4

November 7th is good for me!

and me.

Hopefully me too...just have to confirm with a few people first.

Without a doubt, count me in for this one too !

7th is good for me too.
Will definately try and dig out my tight school shorts

Let me know if you want to use BTFC and I will check to make
sure there is no ladies fixtures.

Really looking forward to it.

I'm happy with BTFC or whatever venue is most suitable chaps.

Reg...Do you wear those tight shorts around the Swedish girls? That must be the secret you smooth operator

7th is good for me - please count me in!
