Running Football (5-a-side) Todmorden

[NHonly]

Was reading claretforshaw's post on walking football and was agreeing with the benefits of exercise coupled with fun......

Just wondered if any clarets fancied a game of 5-a-side on Sunday nights?

We play every Sunday at 5:30pm INSIDE at Todmorden sports centre for an hour. We have a fairly wide range of abilities and ages (16-65)! We've lost a few players recently due to anything from emigrating to being banned from playing by the Mrs! Cost is £4 or £5 depending on numbers.

So, get to 5-a-side for 5:30pm, play an hour, build up a thirst, shower, change and stop off for a refreshing drink.... I can see why some got banned.

My 5-a-side was Monday nights 9pm OUTSIDE (alongside AFC Wimbledon's ground). 3-G pitch. Cold, very cold, some nights.

Sorry, I can't get up to Tod. Good luck recruiting.

Yes Stevie, got a space this Sunday if you can make it?

Cheers Paul, yes used to be at the Thompson Centre followed by quite a lot of beers round Burnley, great days....etc

Yes. Email removed. I'll be rusty and unfit! If you can send an email I'll take my uemail off here.

Thanks Stevie, email sent.

If anyone else is thinking about giving it a go please feel free to get in touch. We start off running but gradually get slower as the game goes on!

Are you still looking for players in a Sunday??? I would be very keen.

Post 5 did make me laugh and bring back some great memories. I ran a 5-a-side league in the eighties at the College I worked at in Central London. There were about ten student teams, one staff team and one guest team of my mates.
We played Monday evenings, 5-6 in Jubilee Hall, Covent Garden just by the London Transport Museum. It was very competitive and a good workout...3 teams played each Monday and it was fierce when the teacher's team played my mates..I ran it for about 5/6 years and it was very popular - play the football, showers and retire to the Marquess of Anglesey on Bow St for 'after match review' and about 5 pints of Youngs Bitter undoing all the good work..not sure I could do it now but I was a mean hombre back then..

I'm probably 6 months too late on this but is the offer still out there for the 5-a-side on Sundays? Not played in a year or so, so I'd be rusty to say the least. I'm new to the area (regret to say I'm not a Burnley fan either) and have been looking out for any local 5 or 6 a side leagues, not really found anything yet though. This thread is the first thing that pops up when you put '5-a-side Todmorden' into Google'. Thought it'd be worth a shot on the off chance you're still looking for player every now and then.
Cheers.
