London Football Ground Challenge - for Sport Relief

[palkanetoijala31]

Looking at the map of where all 14 grounds are it seems its almost circular. So if you started at Watford for example the last football ground would be Brentford.Or if you started at Charlton the last ground would be Dagenham and Redbridge or West Ham or Millwall depending on clockwise or anti clockwise.

The advantage of starting at Charlton is that you dont have to cross the river unless someone wants to take the Woolwich ferry personally i have always wanted to go on it.

I am looking into pubs at all the finishing points to see which is the best one from the marathon drinkers site although it says they wouldnt recommend Dagenham & Redbridge nearest pub.

At the Daggers, just use the clubhouse

May as well join you on this challenge, even though football is not a big thing for me. I also agree that Watford should be included in this challenge.

Count me in. Need to get my Tube Challenge attempts started sometime this year!!

charlton is 1 minute from charlton nr station
selhurst park is 3 minutes from norwood junction
millwall is a couple of minutes from south bermondsey
you could do those three together, then do west ham and daggers, arsenal and spurs, then go down to brentford chelsea qpr and fulham before going up to watford

*** UPDATE ***
Just 56 days to go until Sport Relief. According to the official site an Online Sponsorship page will soon be available which will allow us to publicise this challenge, and also allow team members to join the challenge. A summary of what we will be doing is as follows:

1. We will be visiting all 14 London Football League grounds (including Watford!!!)
2. We will be doing the challenge as one team.
3. At each ground we must perform a series of "Keepsie Upsies"
4. All people doing the challenge must wear a football shirt (preferably of a London team, but not essential)
5. We are raising money for "Sport Relief".
6. The challenge is on saturday 15th March

Still to be done...

a) Decide which ground we are starting at.
b) Plan the route, anyone interested in helping please let me know.
c) Get a decent Football!
d) Contact the clubs
e) Contact media (media whores only please!!!)
f) Practice our football skills!

I haven't even looked at a logistical route for this yet but I am more than happy to help out......
Perhaps a Hatton Cross meet (If your roof is still intact after yesterday )
Or perhaps we can set up an online chat facility
Obviously we need to sort out a) and b) then we can contact the clubs d) with an approx arrival time to see if they are willing to let us go pitchside

Could I suggest g) We need to make a video of the day....

i too am happy to help with a route if you need any. if there is a lot of us then it would be good to perhaps have a Voip conference or suchlike where we're all there to get all the specific arrangements when it gets close to the day (skype?).

and i definently need to practice my keepy-uppies!!

PS: i've just realised i'd never actually registered my interest in this event on this thread anywhere. well i suppose this does it!

[palkanetoijala31]

well i presume this is still going ahead i have emailed the daggers as they are not playing at home to see if they will let us take some photos on the pitch and maybe take a penalty comp?

[Going Underground]

Yeah I am still up for this, but it seems we have much work to do on routes, ground contact etc......

[nozzacook]

Ive got time to sort route just pm the list of stations and i will come up with somthing

Over to you Soup Dragon

[palkanetoijala31]

sorry over to mr Finland i have also emailed the other clubs lower than the premiership who are not playing at home to see if we can go pitchside i think its pointless asking Chelsea or Spurs as i kno what the answer will be.

Shame that this is being done on the Saturday, as I said earlier in the thread, I'm going to be unavailable for it now!
