How To Get My Sunday Team To The Pub

Wow, needing an incentive to go to the pub?
In my day we needed an incentive to play football instead of being in the pub.

We did use to have a little bit of food laid out for us, did the MotM vote, a card to win a little bit of money and that was about it.

You could make attendance compulsary, and anyone who doesn't attend the post match pub meeting gets dropped the next week. But that needs a pretty decent squad.

If you don't go to the pub, you're in the hat for running the line the following week

I know what the fack is wrong with this generation

Half the team were steaming from the night before and needed a hair of the dog after slogging it out for 90 mins.

Tell them that pubs have beer, girls and music.

If that fails, get a new team who aren't all homosexuals.

Help run local amateur league team in Belfast and have a similar sponsorship deal with the local bowling club situated right beside our own pitch.
Our games are on a Saturday afternoon and afterwards its back for Burgers and chips for everyone, which the club and local Chippy (our other main sponsor) provide. Usually have 30-40 back after every game buying Pints etc, so winners all round.

Try running Last Man standing. Run 3-4 times each season brings us in over £4,500 per season which we pay out approx. 50% to the winners. Easy money if you can get 100-150 to enter.

Yup, we used to do the same. The pub laid on grub after the game- doesn't cost them much, basic stuff like chips, sausages, chicken wings etc and almost all of the players (2 teams, plus subs) used to go for at least an hour or so. As far as the pub is concerned, they can even probably write it off for tax but I'm not 100% on that.

Just tell them to stop being a bunch of dickheads and come to the pub.

When you're playing Sunday league you're not playing for a competitive game, you're playing for a bit of a laugh with your mates surely?!
