Brooms may be more important than the wood come Thursday.... I guess we go to the NCP if the court is iced??

Add my name on the (Ro)England shortlist please...

Can I add a gentle note of caution re. PH and obvious alcohol consumption... As part of our contract we're obliged to not consume drugs'n'alcohol within the PH vicinity and I noted a security guard was giving us the once over from the upstairs balcony (with the lights off) last week.

Read this as a plug to buy Ste's nifty can containers!

Can't play today - mostly full of baby bugs - will come over to snap some images before the sun goes down...

Good polo in every game last night...!

Kitty stands at £50 - let's try not to use it!

Desperately want to get to this... am keeping tabs on developments/dates/qualification etc.

At the very least, let's make sure MCR is well represented from the outset and has a decent stab at qualification - whether we have to do it amongst ourselves or travel to London!

Checked Gartside yesterday - though Google showed a twin court set up, in reality it's one reasonable (think Alexandra standard/size - although struggling with leaves) court with another that is set up as a tennis court - with a rigid metal net. It has a third open area as a basketball court wihich is poor - but could have been a useful warm up area.

So the search for a big open tourney venue continues...

Hulme could figure as a change of scene come summer - hey, when we get big, we might need more places to play because of congestion!

saaaafe. need refs? :(

You've been here long enough - take the stabilisers off and make a team dammit!!

*Get yer mittens and thermals on... Advanced notice of this winter's coolest polo series... *

• overall team tourney scores will be posted as we go

Why? Cos although Powerhouse is cool, it's a wee bit pipe and slippers! Time to bring back the random, bring back the dog unit, bring back the frustration and the cold....!

0 Degree Pop Up Polo Series 2010/2011

1. Hip Replacements
   

Hulme Park, Jackson Crescent, nr Mancunian Way

Could be a cool spring/summer hangout, maybe even a small tourney venue - no housing in the proximity; euro-urban vibe, good access to the city. Court looks smooth yet grippy (although one can't really tell till we roll a Frankie over it), has walls on two sides plus seating and some rain cover. Lots of street furniture for you trickstas to play with...

I've got one polo bike build up if anyone new wants it? £50

Does it have a v brake....?!

You given up polo btw?

Which reminds me - is there a cycle speedway track in Chanchester?

Can't be there until 1.30 earliest but wanna play...

or just go in net.

Things you thought you'd never see part 73.... ;-)

yay lewis!

neil, do you know if PH adjusted the timer on the lights?

I spoke to the Gen Manager about it yesterday - he said it would be changed. I asked for an extra 5 minutes to clear up the court - so it should finish at 9.35pm from now on. The new bulbs have arrived too - they need to hire a cherry picker in order to get up there to change them - I'm sure ther'e a joke in this somewhere...
