Could we have that as a Theme of the week - celebrities you would invite to a dinner party.

BUT.

Its a Dinner Party with a table for 6 - We would not vote for a single name of the week, but the manager of the group of all 5 players signed in that week, who would be sharing the dinner party with the voter

It would mean that Matt and I already have some good entries !! lol.
Not a bad idea actually
You make that sound like I am full of bad ideas normally
smiley Well advising on general wasn't your best idea smiley

But on a serious note this is a excellent idea, I know you disgust it here but me Tom and Paul will talk about it in our message chat and see when to squeeze it in I don't see an issue with next week, but we do have some suggested subjects already.

The only downsides I can see is

1. It forces people to create all 5 youth players.

I know some teams don't have space to sign up 5 players (those people can email me and I will sign
them up, tee hee).

2. It will require managers to post all 5 name in one post to be effective, and might be an issue for
correlating the vote.

There only issues if you make them.

The way round it would be wait until the end of the week, you do not have to post all in one day we have a week to submit all entries because the vote isn't until the following week.

The only issue I see is if more than one person wants Joe Bloggs

I have already signed up Stephen Fry this week - thats the traditional name celebrity in these conversations.

That said, I cannot sign him up again when this round comes into effect (if it does).

Could you do a themed one in the future ? For Wimbledon Tennis fortnight - fictional names for a tennis player

With regards to the dinner party idea do the people have to be alive? and yes we can do tennis at Wimbledon time

CURRENT THEME: CHARACTERS FROM LITERATURE


I must admit, I created Stephen Fry thinking it was writers of literature, but I see that the theme is characters.
