Ok guys this is a serious enough topic to warrant a post so that's why I'm doing it. K it has been brought up that football on Fridays is becoming a little bit difficult for our agents as they now have to deal with work commitments too. I can understand that and that's why it is important to vote and decide what day should be best.
Ok some arguments.. I still prefer Friday soccer. For selfish reasons it is the only day that I do not have some form of NUS, Combined Uni, Club training that I can delegate to MiB. Let's face it guys, for many of you guys, our weekly kickabout is the only exercise you get, whereas I really enjoy playing with you all and hence try to make things happen. I do the planning too so for the past few weeks it has been Friday.
Fri 5pm:
Pros: 1. We can stay out late because the weekend is coming.
2. There is no football on tv.
3. We can even start later so everyone can come after work. If we even start at say
630pm, but be disciplined and end at 8pm, I think that can work. This requires some
effort to be punctual. This is how most working adults do it.
Cons: 1. Too many people cannot make it due to work commitments.
2. NUS is not an accessible place for all.
Sat 9am (Vana's suggestion)
Pros: 1. Everyone should more or less be there.
2. No clash.
Cons: 1. It is too early. Some of us will like to sleep in on weekends due to our work
commitments.
2. Playing in the morning sun is not easy mind you.
3. If we play soccer till say 12pm, then eat, then hang out, you are talking burning half to
a whole Saturday with MiB. Family? Gf? Other plans?
Sat 4pm (Rooban's suggestion)
Pros: 1. No work so everyone should be there.
2. You can sleep late on Saturday and still come for soccer so no excuse.
3. We can hang out after that because the next day is Sunday.
Cons: 1. When the EPL season starts, there will be early kickoffs at say 745pm then how? Even
if the games kick off at 10pm, that will mean everyone splitting by 9pm. So it's soccer,
a couple of drinks then head off from there.
2. For those of us who are involved in semi-professional football (Harvey for now, maybe
Chan and Dinesh in the future), we will have matches on Saturday evening.
3. If we play on Saturday evenings, that will rule out matches on Sunday as football 2 days
in a row is impossible for most of us.
4. Saturday evening is a sucker for gfs and outside friends to ask for our time. How will we
manage that?
Sunday 9am (alternative)
Pros: Look at Saturday morning ones.
Cons: Look at Saturday morning ones. Not to forget people who need to go to church or temple.
Plus there's always a no-good feeling about playing on Sunday because Monday is around
the corner.
Sunday 4pm (alternative 2)
Pros: Look at Saturday 4pm.
Cons: 1. Semi-pro footballers how?
2. Sunday EPL games?
3. Monday is hours away so no late hanging out.
Vote guys so we know... This will kick in from the first weekend of August, ie. 1,2 or 3rd August 2008.
