5-a-side Football / Futsal -sathorn/silom, Wanna Play?

[damaja]

Hi guys,

just saw this thread. I am really interested in coming along. I really miss playing!!

I can join most weeks but occasionally i have to travel to Surin for work. I will give notice though.

Are you still looking for players? I appreciate that you won't be playing until the protests end but i would love to come along and join you all. Not too bad an outfield player but a better goal keeper!

Thanks guys. Hope to hear from somebody soon.

You're very welcome to join mate!

Send me a PM with your real name and email address and I'll add you to the contact list. Plus be sure to subscribe to this topic and you'll get updates here too.

Alright guys,

What's the story, are we on for tomorrow?

Its definitely too hot to be playing in a bullet proof vest though...

Cheers,

Rob

I think, unless there's a drastic change in the atmosphere tomorrow morning, footy at Sthorn will not be happening!

I was down there earlier this evening and the whole of Sathorn from Rama 4 down to Naradhiwas is closed to traffic and there's much evidence of rioting and vandalism. I also heard fireworks and/or grenade explosions and gunshots coming from around Suan Plu, and the few people in the vicinity of the footy place (and Fraser Suites next door) was taking cover and avoiding crossing the road.

Too dark (and risky) to take many photos, but the street lights were off so the whole of Sathorn is dark and many of the 'traffic police booths' have been smashed in and vandalised.

Here's some pics of a bronze statue that used to be on a pedestal at the u-turn/junction opposite Sathorn 6 and the Metro Sathorn apartment building. It had been ripped off it's pedestal (quite a feat considering it looks like it'd be f*ckin heavy - 5ft high and made of metal) and put in the middle of the road and set on fire.:

Hi Adam.....Im still in the UK on an extended holiday with the mrs's but will be back next weds. I hope there will still be a pitch remaining once it's calmed down!, as I'm missing a wheeze-a-thon.

Be careful out there around Sathorn mate!

Cheers,

Steve

Confirmation: NO FOOTY AT SATHORN TODAY!!!

I'll post on here if any reason it won't happen next Sunday.

Hope everyone's good. See u all next week hopefully.

[angustan]

to all the guys staying in those affected areas, pls take care and be careful.

[MiG16]

yes stay safe people.

stock up on some dry food so you dont have to venture out too often.

cheers

[bkksteviejai]

Im guessing no footie this week?, not really sure about the access that side of town at the moment.

[angustan]

guys i'm guessing that the area would still be close tomorrow. if you guys want to bring it out of that area and on an artificial turf, can probably try this place http://www.arena10.com/index.php its at thonglor where funky villa is

i would try it make it to wherever there is one booked guys, the mrt is back tomorrow too if you ne

[damaja]

Indeed, Sathorn is looking very doubtful for tomorrow!

As usual, I'm up for playing, but then anything that's gonna take an hour's ride in a taxi I simply can't afford.

The Thong Lor one sounds easiest to me.

There's also the one kelvin has mentioned before - SoccerPro in South Sathorn - which I think is preferred for me.

What about that one?

[groovetank]

I can't figure out where that one is in South Sathorn...

Thong Lo one sounds good to me... It looks like the pitch is available today as well.

I don't mind though..

Cheers

[angustan]

Hi guys maybe everyone let's all vote on the pitch to play on today. Only vote if you can make it. Once we get enough, then we can proceed to bbok.

i vote for Thonglor

[angustan]

oh yeah don't forget your preferred time as well. 5pm for me

[groovetank]

Thong Lo - 5pm

[roser87]

Thong Lo - 5pm

ditto

[damaja]

Ok, called Sponsor Park manager - Sathorn one is definitely closed till next week!

So, I reckon Thong Lor one it is then - thanks for that recommend Angus!

5pm - 6pm?

-1500 baht total for 1 hour

-Astro turf pitch, so you'll do better if you've at least got *some* tread on the bottom of your shoes (indoor futsal shoes would probably be a bit slippy)

Their website map here:
