Mugs found at Snowy pitchside
The day was Friday 8th of January, the snow had fallen, the temperature had dropped and the big freeze meant Sports fixtures were in Jeopardy that Sunday. The word around the squads was a clear up operation was to be put in place to make sure the pitches were playable come Sunday morning. A Coops status to rally the Troops into heading to our very own Capital Park ground appeared on Facebook during the middle of the day. Genius idea, the response from certain members of the club were well up for the idea. “Yeah lets do it, I wanna play Sunday” and “Ill bring a shovel” were the general comments.

Sugar in your tea? you mugs!
A phone call from Charles to Coops was all it needed to really get the ball rolling so to speak. A few wall posts, status updates . Facebook in-box MSG’s and mobile texts later it was on. There was no way the elements were gonna beat us. Not this week, no way! We wanted to play that weekend and not one bit of snow, freezing cold temperatures or Ice was gonna stop us.

Pranksters!
With the idea in motion, after conferring between certain players. The trap was set. The man to lead the charge was none other BIRTHDAY BOY BEN ‘10′ FERGUSON. His sheer determination, was gonna save the day. “what time ya going down boys, Ill bring a shovel, Ill see ya down there” as we all updated our statuses, sent him wall posts the time to meet was at 4pm.

'Where is everyone Brent?'
However our gullible hero wasn’t the only one who was determined to go fight the elements. The A team stalwart BRENT BARKER , also made his way to the club to chip in with a helping hand. This bearing in mind he got an in-box MSG on Facebook that this was a stitch up and chose to mug it off.
Is this proof Brentos cant read? was that education at Coleridge all those years ago all for nothing ? I must say the plan as masterminded by Coops and Charles worked a treat. Sorry Brent you got caught in the crossfire…….

'Dunno, they said 4pm'
While the rest of us were either at home having a cuppa, still at work, on way home from work or just doing whatever. Our brave soldiers went down the club to find it empty. Fergie then made a phone call, checked Facebook and realised he’d been stitched up. The next hour or so poor old Fergie and Brentos were destroyed with the wall posts they received and the laughter was absolutely hilarious. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERGIE, and Brentos, take the time out to read ya MSG’s. If ya need to 3 or 4 times so be it. I must say the plan as masterminded by Coops and Charles worked a treat. Sorry Brent you got caught in the crossfire……. Note to Fergie, be careful what ya say about teams West Ham play. The other week you mugged off Arsenal during the cup game, then lost in the last 10 minutes. You mugged off WOLVES about the game which was due to be played last Sunday, and both times ended up looking like a C– — T

'We can get this game on Brent, have faith'
All in the name of Fulbourn Sports, anyone for a MUG of tea?
Coops your resident Guv’nor

Damo lighten up, ya soppy fanny!!! He was stupid enough to believe it, so was Brent. I mean we all like playing but be fucked if I’d actually go and shovel snow off a pitch a) for free b) when it was never gonna be playable anyway
