For anyone wondering, we have got a place in the 16 teams. I haven't received an email, so it's good to go!
If everyone playing for NSC can notify me in the next month whether they can/can't make a kick-about session sometime in May, it would be much appreciated.

I have spoken to a few, and they have said they can't make it. So we probably can't have a kickabout this year, but we are all good to go for the tournament. Sorry for not messaging everyone sooner.
Also, its £60 per team, and with 10 players its 6 quid each to bring. So just a heads up. I'll put all the details in a post later when I get them.
We have 13 players willing to play, with a max squad of 10. It's a first come first serve basis, so the ones who wanted to join first get a place in the team. If anyone says they can't play I'll open a space in the team for the people in reserve and let you know ASAP.
Here's the squad list, people below the line are in reserve:
SweatyMexican
Mowgli37
CzechMate - Goalie
The guy from Twitter
emphyrian - Goalie
Coach Carter
Dan Redman
Worthingite
Seagully
leigull

jjtbha
Philzo-93
Wiggy Power - Goalie

Right, sorry it's been a while, but here's the tournament info sent out this morning.
Tournament Info
The fixtures are above this post, as I'm sure you've seen. (We haven't got WeAreBrighton in our group this year (Last year's winners, and they beat us in the semi last year) so thats a good start)
The first games kick-off at 1pm so lets get there for about 12:30 and have a kick about for a bit, our first match is at 1:10.
The Falmer Cup organisers introduced a 'play-off' competition for fun this year ensuring everyone gets to play a minimum of 6 games, even the teams finishing 3rd & 4th in their groups. We'll be playing all 8 games since we should have no trouble taking our place in the final.
The games will be 10 minutes, using standard 5-a-side rules and the pitches are 3G. We'll rotate constantly, last year we had 2 subs, but it really still wasn't enough, 5 this year should hopefully is plenty to help us through the 6 group games we'll play.
Dick Knight will be presenting the trophy to the winners at The Farmers Pub, South Street, Lancing at around 5.15pm. It would be great if you could join us there to enjoy a well earned drink!
Facilities
If you need to find Brighton's traning ground in Lancing, Google maps should have you covered.
The community pitches currently have no shower facilities (although they do have running water & toilets). There will unfortunately be no catering available so come prepared & please use the litter bins.
On-site parking is very limited and will be on a first come first served basis. The training ground is a 10 minute walk from Lancing station so please use public transport wherever possible. If you do need to park in the residential streets around the training ground please do so responsibly & courteously.
We have a limited capacity this year for spectators. While family and friends are welcome (it is a community facility after all!), we have taken a deliberate decision not to publicise the tournament too widely as at present the community pitches are unable to accommodate large numbers of spectators. This is a situation we very much hope will be relaxed in future years.
Thanks to the support of L&S Printing we will have St. John Ambulance on hand to deal with any bumps and scrapes.
Also
We have been asked to supply player names to AITC (for security reasons), so if you can send me a PM or post a message here with your name I'll forward it to the organisers.
With regards to our kit, it'll be the same as last year. Just bring a Blue and White Brighton shirt, short colour doesn't matter. Shinpads are a must, and of course bring your boots.
Hopefully that's everthing, if you have a question just post a message, and I'll see you on the 27th!
