Mariners Pre Season 2022

[priorpeter]

So direct clash with the the League One Grand Final if the Academy make it, unless they play the GF on Sunday which is a possibility.

As you would probably know, the family day was scheduled for the same weekend that reason. Shame the academy couldn’t for get the job done last week as that would have made for a huuuuge day at CCS.

As in Sean Bean?

Yes, but I was thinking of the books. That rather picaresque quote is in Sharpe's Trafalgar. Excellent book.

Could have been a huge day - but instead is potentially turning into a bit of a mess with the family fun day / pre-season game competing against both the final day of the junior comp and possibly a double GF appearance for the Academy boys.

Not the first time recently that something that probably sounded like a great idea in the original email could probably have benefited from being worked through a bit more before going all in.

I was given a box set of the series but didn't get around to watching it. I will definitely sniff out the books. Thanks for the tip.

Yes it is a double grand final for us, 1sts and the U20s. 1st grade dispensed with North tigers(purrrrr) and yes a shamozzle for whoever scheduled family day, my money is on A league derriere polishing bureaucrats.

Shamozzle is harsh in fairness - imagine how big it’d have been to have academy at CCS too! Yet to be seen where the academy GF will be but we’ll find out very soon…

If you like historical fiction, Bernard Cornwell is the master. Reading the Sharpes series for the first time is one of life's great pleasures. Sorry for sidetracking the thread.

Go you mighty Yellows!

Contact at FNSW is letting me know early next week! 2 Grand finals should be at Pluim Park but hey CCS would be awesome, but I am terribly biased! Real incentive to poleaxe Melbourne Covid City!

Can’t see it being at home unfortunately.. surely a neutral venue in Syd or Penthurst Park.

First grade didn’t win hosting rights so Pluim is next to no chance for them. It will most likely be at VSP. I should know tomorrow.

St George have the hosting rights, but it won’t be at Penshurst. They wanted to play at Kogarah but it’s already booked. They were offered Lily’s but turned it down. The most likely outcome at this point will be Valentine Sports Park, but not locked in just yet.

Igguldon is rubbish. I've only read his Ghengis Khan series but it was a struggle to finish. In contrast I've read the entire Sharpe series about eight times. Story telling of the highest order.

His Caesar series was the best. Never really hit those heights again

 

[priorpeter]

After all that it looks like we will have a clash with Family Day and the Academy grand final. Spewin - can’t blame the club though tbh.

Yes, on condition that the only books discussed are mine.
