Interesting I,m pretty and had experience of long away trips in the early 1970's Sapcote, in the Hinckley Sunday League comes to mind! Picking a team was pretty straightforward. If you had a car you were definitely in, If you were at Baileys or Grannies the night before you were in, even if you walked home! If you had a mate who wouldn't mind being sub, or even make the starting line up, bring him along. We somehow managed to cobble together a team that enjoyed our Sunday mornings. Real football but Pretty Vacant .
