Forbidden City FC 紫禁城足球俱乐部

Palace,

After a lengthy break we are resuming our league campaign this coming Sunday, 16th October, against the Italians from Azzurri. This should be a tough game.
Kick off is scheduled at 2 PM at the Lido (=Side Gongyuan). Who is available?

Please reply as soon as possible and remember to attend training tomorrow, wednesday12th 8-10pm at the Lido. Attending training is the main criterion for selection for the weekend game.

Cheers,
Patrick

PS: we had 3 volunteers for writing the match reports: Aaron Thio, Lee Russell and Ian Crouch. So we can expect some entertaining reading after our next game. Pikey’s idea to ask the MOM or Donkey of the match to write the match report sounded good but unfortunately I have to say that a past attend to implement this idea had failed so I would rather have a volunteer (who does not need to be the same every week as we have several candidates).

City/Palace,

We are planning to have a training session tomorrow evening, Wednesday 5th, at the usual place, Lido pitch, and the usual time 8-10pm.  However, as we could not confirm with the management that we’ll have the pitch for sure (nobody is picking up the phone), please check your email again tomorrow afternoon in case we have to cancel the training session. If the training is confirmed, and if you’re in Beijing, please make an effort to attend the training session. Both teams need it.

Cheers,
Patrick

PS: Jason is also trying to get the pitch at the Canadian school for a kick about on Saturday afternoon. Again, check your email tomorrow for more details about that one

Evening All.

Training is on again this Wednesday at the same time and place as last week (full details below).

With the start of the BTV6 9 a-side tournament along with the all day 7 a-side tournament taking place this weekend, we are going to use this session to get the two squads playing together.  There will be a warm up followed by some attacking drills, then we will spend the majority of the session playing 9 a-side (with substitutes).
All are welcome as usual.

Please can you bring a white top as well as a dark (black/blue) top to make it easier to split the teams.  Also bring water with you as there is nowhere close to the field to buy it.

Date: Wednesday 10th August

Time: 8:30 – 10:00pm (try to arrive early so we can start on time)

Location: 9 a-side pitch at Chaoyang Park (50m on right after entering east gate 7)
