Free Camping on the pitch at the amex 24th may

[neilbard]

Best use of the Amex pitch all season!

Will they allow fires & / or BBQs?

Will they have electric hookups?

Where are the shower and toilet facilities?

Is there a shop?

Where can we wash up the plates etc after dinner?

It's just not properly thought though!

It does NOT say that you can't dig the pits for the wet and dry latrines.

They're doing the same thing at Selhurst this summer apparently, but all tents must be totally flame-retardant.

You're a Palace fan. So likewise.

Can't wait to put a metal tent peg right through the sprinkler system

Feck - just read the small print----can I bring my caravan instead

Coat tents only

Leeds did this last sumner for one of the World Cup matches which they showed on a big screen.

It's a good idea though.

Evening all.

I'm working / coaching at this, so best behaviour please NSCers - especially those planning lots of action in / around the box *cough* Edna *cough* ��

We'll have a big inflatable pitch to use tomorrow - sadly, only the touchlines and goals and not a huge bouncy castle - and will be running coaching sessions / games / mini-matches for the kids between 5-8pm.

Come over and say hello - I'll be the old bloke in black and white training gear, huffing and puffing while 8-year kids give me the runaround...

Hi. As above, we'll be there with 8 year old Moshe Jnr and he will love the football games.

Slightly frustrating that there is now some rain/showers forecast at exactly the wrong time but I guess that was inevitable

Do you know how many tents and people are expected? And what else is timetabled for us?

Better make sure no-one punctures it by wearing studs. They'll let themselves down; they'll let the other kids down; but more than that, they'll let the whole game down.

GC Junior cant wait, its like Christmas eve for him.... Proper excited.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Gully's Girls are there........

Should be 100 tents, so anywhere between 200-400 people at a guess.

Apart from the film(s?) on the big screens later, I only know about the coaching side but Tom Gorringe and the Marketing team are running the show tomorrow so I expect there will be plenty going on during the day.

See you tomorrow...
