Forbidden City FC 紫禁城足球俱乐部

Palace,Due to the snow we could not play last weekend, our game vs Lao Hu Inter has been postponed to a later date not yet scheduled.Hopefully we can finally resume our football season this coming saturday, 5th of March. We are playing bottom-of-the-league Chaoyang Park Rangers. Kick off is scheduled for 2PM, the venue is the same as usual for Summer Palace, that is to say Chaoyang Stadium on Yaojiayuan Lu. Who is available?Cheers,PatrickPS: Remember that we have a training session tomorrow evening, wednesday 2nd March, at the Lido (Side Gongyuan), 8-10PM. As we have a lot of players available for the weekend games and that the squad is limited to 18 players, priority will be given to the guys who make the effort to come to training.PPS: If you have not yet pick-up your new kit, please arrange with Jason Dorey to bring it to you tomorrow so that we don’t have to spend so much time to distribute the kit on saturday before the game, cheers. The deposit for the kit is 200 rmb.

We’ve won all our games so far with spirit, determination and (questionable) style, No reason we cant rise to the Challenge and keep this going through out the season. To make this happen the team will need every single one of you! So put you your weekend plans with the wife on hold – tell the Boss Footy comes first and No fake Matty injuries/hangovers either ! You’re City till you die!

FCFC Boys!As most of you know, there is an 11-a-side football tournament coming up on the 23rd and 24th of April, 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand!!!FCFC have booked a slot to play, but we have to pay a deposit as confirmation by the beginning of March.In order to do this we need to have at least 12 people confirmed and therefore we will need confirmations of attendees by the end of February.So basically it is now or never boys! Those who have responded before, please reconfirm as to your confirmed interest in attending. Those sitting on the fence now need to make a decision.As a basic guide to costs, see below:Hotel Room – A double is ¥ 260, split between two.Flights – THAI Air flights around ¥3,389. If we all fly on the same flight, there may be group discounts available and other flight options may be cheaper.Match – The match entry fee is around ¥5,000 including getting tour t-shirts made, etc, split between however many players we get.Based on those estimates and 12 players, it will cost ¥ 4,000 before beer/lady boy money.When we have enough people confirmed we will then arrange the itinerary of flight details, deposits and passport numbers etc. Due to people working, students etc. different flight dates will be available and feel free to ask if you have any other questions that you need answers to before you make your decision.Please feel free to invite some other friends that would like to take part, the more the merrier!It would be great to get an FCFC team there this year, so lets do it guys and REPLY NOW!!!Blythe

City,

Philippe
