As confirmed in the emails, the BBC’s Match of the Day (disillusioned with the prospect of a Pompey v Cardiff FA Cup Final) has approached us to stage a truly heavyweight footballing encounter in London on 17th May. Naturally we weren’t going to let Linekar and the boys down, so the much-anticipated Channings FC vs Victoria game will be taking place.
Unfortunately Regents Park, the proposed venue for the occasion, isn’t confident it has the facilities to take on such a game so Victoria boss JJ Williams is looking into alternative pitch options. More news when we have it. The game will also be held to celebrate the Victorian’s end-of-season party, with booze aplenty to be drunk after the game so we can all watch the Cup Final.
Oh – and the Channings FC ‘Fixtures’ page is now up and running, and I’ll be updating it once I have any further news on opponents for the Berlin tour. As you can see we’ve arranged a friendly against Britische Loewen FC for the Saturday.
