HJC Cup 2008 (At Last.....)

Date: Saturday 10th May 2008

Time: Registration, 12pm. Kick-Off, 1pm

Venue:  PlayFootball, Drummond Road, Crosby, L23 9YP

http://www.playfootball.co.uk/Crosby/contact.htm

Entry fee: £100 per squad. Squads can contain a MAXIMUM of 8 players, to include rolling subs.

*********************

Apologies for the delay in sorting this year’s tournament, but we got there eventually.

Most of you know the drill, but for those wishing to attend for the first time, here’re the basics:-

This is the annual 5-a-Side football tournament held to raise money for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. Now in its sixth year (we think, we’re not counting), this tournament has fast become a mainstay of the LFC football season and has been hotly contested in recent years.

Everyone is welcome, veterans and newbies alike. Don’t worry if you can’t get a team together but want to play. Just get in touch at the email addy below to register your interest and we can find/create a team for you.

Each team must nominate a team captain, who is then responsible for registering their team and collecting monies (see below).

The Prize: The much-coveted HJC Cup itself. Hankered after by all the footballing greats, including Pele, Michel, Diego, Kenny, Alan, Stevie, Jamie, Walshy, Digger and Torben, this magnificent trophy, plus medals for each winning squad member, would look great on any mantelpiece.

The player of the tournament, as judged by a specially selected scouting panel (Karl & Craig) will be presented with the Kieran Taylor Memorial Trophy.

How To Enter:-
ALL teams must first REGISTER via their team captain by emailing Sarah Deane on sair37@redandwhitekop.net
Please include your team name and contact details. Your registration will then be confirmed by return email.

Entry fees can then be paid in one of the following ways:

PAYPAL: Payments PER TEAM ONLY can be made to sarahdeane@thequestionmaster.co.uk  with “HJC Cup [Team Name/Team Captain]” stated clearly in the reference box.

CHEQUE: Made payable to “Hillsborough Justice Campaign” and your team name/team captain written clearly on the back. Cheques can be handed in at the HJC Shop or posted to:

HJC Cup Entry
408 The Collegiate
Shaw Street
Liverpool
L6 1HA

In either case, please include a covering letter stating clearly who the money is from and a contact email so receipt can be confirmed.


So, What Happens Then?
For anyone who’s never been before, this is what happens.

Group Stages (teams drawn by independent UEFA official. Or Gerry).
Quarter-Finals (or Second Round, depending on number of teams entered)
Semi Finals
3rd/4th place play off
Final
Beer.

Bibs are provided, but it would be helpful if all teams can ‘co-ordinate’ their kits.

PlayFootball has a spacious licensed bar for spectators. This year, we have the WHOLE venue to ourselves. Yee-hah. Or something.
Supporters are welcome – the bar’s open all day ;)

The evening do will also be held at PlayFootball this year – one long, continuous ‘do’.

Afterwards, in the bar area, there will be a short trophy presentation followed by some very special spoken word performances by some well-known local names, plus music and a raffle.

The highlight of the evening will be an auction with some very special lots, to be advertised on here nearer the time. Start saving now, as all proceeds go directly to the HJC.

Despite the short notice, we hope this year’s tournament will be as successful as ever, and everyone involved would like to say thanks in advance to all of you making the effort.

Any questions, no matter how trivial, feel free to IM me or email
sair37@redandwhitkekop.net

Keep your eyes on this page, or the HJC Cup website at www.hjccup.co.uk over the coming weeks for details of any changes.

I was actually wondering if we, LFCREDS.  Could find 8 - 11 players

Sure you could get a team together Court.....We'd come and cheer you on

I'd definitely be up for that.  Anyone interested?

Brilliant! Anfield-Online team anyone? 

Pretty good keeper me.

So someone willing to get in between the sticks.  6 to go. 

I can play a defender would be nice to come up for a weekend and play some footy.  Count me in

5 to go.

paulrobbo
AJ
Court
RK  so far?

Bloody hell if this queue gets any bigger we'll have to do some auditions! 

Bloody hell if this queue gets any bigger we'll have to do some auditions! 

trials court. Or two teams? Lets see if theres alot of demand. I'm definitely game though!

Does the lineup actually need to be confirmed in advance? I'm up for it but I've got a dodgy knee at the moment, so I wouldn't be able to say until closer to the time if I'm fit & able.

Me and Smiggs will be the Physio's..........we'll sort your knee out Ed

Give you a quick rub down...

I can do wonders with the 'magic sponge'

Not sure really Ed. Probably have to assign an organiser won't we. Which is better off being someone in the Liverpool area. I'm in Stockport, which isn't too far away but I think it'd be better if the organiser lived in Liverpool. Know more about the area etc.

This sounds like my cup of tea lager !!   

I'm sure we'll all find time for a 'few' cheeky beeroids after we lift that trophy

Jesus woman, we're looking for people that would be up for a trial for our LFCREDS team, not an audition for a side line bloody porn flick!

Definately mate.  Hopefully we can sort something out! 

Maximum of 8 players per team.

I played their in a tournament late last year and it's a cracking venue. 

Any more decent players on here who are free to represent the forum on the 10th May?

You're F***ing joking.  10th of May is my birthday! 

I'd still be up for playing, any way.

It did say that in the very first line of the thread...

In that case...

I'm sure we'll all find time for a few 15 cheeky beeroids after we lift that trophy

In that case...

In that case... 

I usually play 5 a side football, but I live way too far to be involved in this competition.

Yeah.  Spose' it would be too difficult to put a robot on the team any way! 

I'm up for it! I'm a mix of Jan Molby and Harry Kewell (i.e. can't run and always injured!) but I'm still game!

Bump.

Players?

So far interested.

Me, JD, CRK, Eddie, Paul Robbo & AJ.

Are u still taking people on for this..Would love to give this a go.

I used to play defence for local pub teams and also im as ugly as Skrtel so will scare any opposing player away from our goal.

Excellent.  We'll take you on board. 

I'm sure something can be properly arranged for us to participate!

Excellent.  We'll take you on board. 

I'm sure something can be properly arranged for us to participate!

Great. Cant wait.

Right as I understand we have the following players:

Court, JD, CRK, Eddie, Paul Robbo, Me, Ste_Macca

Teams can have a maximum of 8 players and we have seven so far so I'd say if one more person wants to join in gis a shout.  Team captain needs to be someone local who can take details and round everyone up, that rules me out. 

As entry is £100 we would all have to chip in £12.50 (based on 8 of us) and let the designated captain register the team.  Anyone have any ideas on a cheap strip we could use?

Come on Ken, what you waiting for? 

I would of Smiggs but my playing days are over. Gammy hip and a gammy foot.

Nothing wrong with you when I see you running up the Sandon before the match !!

Now how can you see me doing that when you're usually the first in the alehouse between the two of us eh? 

Right as I understand we have the following players:

Court, JD, CRK, Eddie, Paul Robbo, Me, Ste_Macca

I'm still only a maybe at the moment, all depends if my knee gets better in time or not.

I can see you running up Stanley Park Avenue from the bar

Fair does chap we can just put u down as a sub for now and then when we get a captain you can let them know your fitness.

If I was male and lived close enough I'd play but unfortunately, fate conspires.   

I reckon we should pick JD as captain.

As for our threads.  An old 80's Liverpool shirt for a bit of a theme to it? 

If I was male and lived close enough I'd play but unfortunately, fate conspires.   

You can always be a cheerleader Reepicheep, 

I just saw that thread, I'm up for it, I played goal keeper for many years but I can also play in defense or in the middle. I'm defo up for that though!!!

Where do you live Cy ?

Where do you live Cy ?

Im living in Bristol but I wouldnt mind going up for that, I can just booked an hotel, that will give me an opportunity to meet some of the people in here and I could double that with a visit at Anfield, I can take some time off for it...why?? offering me a place to stay.....

Er no ta.

Nice one mate, so we now have Court, JD, CRK, Eddie (fitness pending), Paul Robbo, Me, Ste_Macca and Cy.

Im living in Bristol

For some unknown reason, I always thought you were from France.

You're Right Aussie........French but living in Bristol 

MsGerrard, you're always so on the pulse 

Any idea when the money is needed to be in by for this??

Aye. Think we need to get in touch asap.

Aye. Think we need to get in touch asap.

Agreed, just rather get it in now rather then later.

Well I'm definitely out of this unfortunately, just been to see the doctor & there's no way I'll be fit in time. I've got osteoarthritis in my knee & got to see a specialist, so you can cross me off the list.

If you're after someone to come round and bend your back this way and that, let me know.

Not you Eddie though. That would be wrong.

Cheers for the update. But looks like we've missed the boat really doesn't it? Will anyone be 'accidently' registering after that (already gone) deadline? 

Dead in the water me thinks.  I completely forgot about it.

It's my birthday on the 10th as well.  Was a nice idea but not to be....

Buggar. Next year anyone? Will be the 20th Anniversary.

Forgot about it meself! Definitley next year! I'm back in goal for our work now so I should be banging out the clean sheets next season in preperation for this!
