james24 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm looking to join a football team or perhaps just a kickaround, was just wondering if anyone here knows of one going on....? I went to 700 year stadium today and was told the pitches are free to play on.. might be an idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSteve Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 does this kind of football include a round ball and long socks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfieconn Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) does this kind of football include a round ball and long socks? It also includes where the ball is kicked with the foot hence the name football, unlike a certain American game where the ball is caught and thrown most of the time, perhaps caughtball or caughtandthrownball would be a more appropriate name .

Foxman888 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi James, There is a game every Monday night, 6-8pm on a 3g pitch just inside the moat at Chang Pheuak Gate. I'm not in Chiang Mai at the moment so won't be playing this coming week but you'll be made more than welcome. Its not free, we normally pay 100 baht each, some of that fee goes to buying balls and maybe a few beers every once in a while. Always nice to see another fellow Yid in town :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
111tingtong Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Driving east on the 3029 (South of the Airport) on the left today I spotted a real nice football complex nearing its completion, not full size around the six a-side pitch.Two pitches side by side.

Also can anyone confirm that 300 year stadium is free to play on...? I saw it today and they must have about 10 well kept pitches..!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiangMaiFun Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 kick around seems a great idea - prefer that to 'organised' matches - any age group? or free for all? if you want a kick around and a few get together let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickybigears Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Try the "Farangutangs" sometimes resident at the UN Irish Pub. Contact names and phone numbers were on their notice board at the top of the steps there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
