Pitch Invasion

Pitch Invasion is the name of the company who organise 5-​aside football competitions in a league format throughout the U.K. Though of course, it the Brighton wing, which I’m writing about.
Pitch Invasion was started only a couple of years ago, basically to formalise the 5-​aside format, which in the past had been hindered so badly by poor organisation, referees and attendance, and by all accounts it has done that incredibly well.
Each team must pay £28, which although seems hefty, goes towards the referees, the hire of the pitches, the company and the match co-​ordinators, which in fairness, when all’s considered isn’t too bad. «It’s a game of two halves» and «it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other» etc. etc. Of course this doesn’t make any sense, but if a football pundit was reviewing Pitch Invasion, this is no doubt the response he would begrudgingly give to the price. I would have to agree.
Anyway there are games at Brighton campus 3G pitches, and up Walpole road, in between Brighton college and The Royal Sussex hospital in Kemptown, with many leagues and days to play in and on.
The website is brilliant, and really makes playing in the leagues that bit more fun, as you can view your teams fixtures, scorers, league position as well as other fun and quite pointless stuff.
If you play footy and you want to get involved as soon as possible, get 4 or more of your mates together, get on the website and register your team for the next season, which comes around every 7 weeks or so.
I play on thursdays myself, and wouldn’t miss it for the world now, as going running isn’t half as fun as trying to do Zidane style turns against people (not chairs in your living room), and playing alongside your mates.
