Thank you for registering your team Arun Amblers to take part in The FA People’s Cup in partnership with BBC Get Inspired. |
It has been necessary to merge some of the first round heats within the Walking football category in your region. |
Therefore we are writing to let you know that your local heat will now be played at Goals (Bristol South) on Saturday 21 February 2015. |
The Gorse Fox was not amused. It is not as if Bristol is just a few miles further. In practise it's about 3 hours drive... and that is not conducive to a few hours of football which would be followed by the return journey. The Gorse Fox is not happy.
He informed the team... and awaits a list of those that are still up for it.
He phoned the BBC (the co-sponsor) - they weren't really interested.
He phoned the Sussex FA - who really were not able to help as they have none of the regional centres in their patch.
He phoned the Hampshire FA and finally spoke to someone who was interested in the problem and is trying to get some traction. Meanwhile GF phoned The FA themselves and was able to leave a message of the phone of the lady who is running the whole tournament. Firstly he registered his displeasure at the late change, and then he suggested that instead of making us trek across country - they just give us a bye into the next round.
He is not holding his breath.
