⚽️♦️♣️ Football & Poker Night
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 22:47:54 +0000 UTCYou may have heard this mentioned but I'm now pleased to confirm - because Bournemouth's stadium is too bloody small - that we will be hosting live screenings of 3 Premier League games in our cinema room and a game of Poker after the football in 2 weeks on Saturday August 26th.
Why a Poker night? Suj mentioned it in passing on a Q'N'A a number of weeks ago and a number of you said you would be interested if we hosted one at our studio in Barnet, North London.
The schedule of our planned today would be as follows:
12:30 Bournemouth vs Tottenham
15:00 Arsenal vs Fulham
17:30 Brighton vs West Ham
19:30 Poker til late
Please note a train strike has been announced for the date, please see more info here

Many of the train companies are expecting to run a service but experience tells me this may stop late afternoon/early evening.
Our studio is a short bus ride from Oakwood and High Barnet tube stations and the tube is not affected by the strikes.
We are of course aware that it's a long day and some of you may just want to come for the football or just attend in the evening.
Please let us know in the replies if you would like to attend for the football, the poker, part of the day, or all of the day, so we can get an understanding of interest.
We will only run the event if there is enough of you who want to attend. Equally if demand is too high priority will go to Advanced Tier Patrons first and so on.
Have a great weekend
James

Sounds great but I wont be able to make it unfortunately. Hope you all have a great time!

Yes count me in for the football! I have never played poker so will duck out at that point!
Nat Chapman
I’m up for this - count me in for the football and probably the poker too
Yes please, count me in for football and poker!

Yes please, I would hope to make some of the football and the early part of the poker as getting back to hotel is proving slightly tricky.

The football sounds like a shout - I’ll confirm later 👍🏾

Count me in for the poker if space. I’m going to the arsenal match so can come straight after and catch the end of the 5:30 and then the poker. Let me know!
Ian Hobbs
Train strike makes it tricky but I’m still keen to come so once it’s confirmed to go ahead I’ll look to see if I can sort some accommodation, shouldn’t be a problem 🐸
