81.0. "football,pads, & helmets" by LARVAE::WILTSHIRE () Thu Dec 22 1988 17:31

    HI PEOPLE
    
    I've just this very moment announced my arrival in the introductions
    bit and thought that I'd try and contact any american football loonies.
    
    IS THERE ANYBODY THERE.......
    
    More to the point does anybody know of an american football club
    local ( I like to pretend I play it ) and names etc of people who
    play.
    
    
    Hot off the Press
    
                   STEELERS TIPPED AS NEXT YEARS SUPERBOWL CHAMPS.	
    
    (they must win, just look where they are in the draft)
    
    
    Please don't laugh

81.1How local do you want?CHEST::BARKEREeez not a Rat, Eeez a HamsterFri Dec 23 1988 08:4711
    The Reading Renegades play at Palmer Park in Reading, Bill Newton
    here at the Crescent plays ( Quarterback, I believe ). They have
    been in the press recently, because they have a wide receiver who
    is a Woman. I believe there is another team that play at Palmer
    Park.
    
    In a Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie advert for Sony HiFi, Fry wore an
    american football jersey with BASINGSTOKE written on it, but he
    may have been taking the mickey. Unless of course, you know better!

    There is an American Footy team based in B'stoke called the
    
    	Hampshire Cavaliers  formerly  the Basingstoke Cavaliers
    
    check out the local gazette for training times etc. I understand
    they were conference champions last season.

    Suggest you contact Michael Dickson here at the CSC - I don't know
    if he reads this conference so I'm answering for him.
    
    Mike is a genuine American Football freak and plays in a team called
    the Hampshire Cavaliers (a national league division 2 team?).  Also
    in the team is Rodney Peploe (here at CSC again).
    
    They can probably put you in touch with the right people.
    
    Hope this helps.....
    
    p.s.  They are both in the phone book
81.4IMNAUT::HIRDHave we got a video?Fri Jan 06 1989 05:3216
    
    Another Steelers fan here, a lot of good it is doing them though
    (I picked 'em before I knew anything about the NFL, but I refuse
    to be fickle)
    
    Looks like its going to be 49'ers versus TBD on the 22nd.
    
    If anyone needs football info/misc goods, I could be talked into
    trying to ship some stuff over.
    
    Mail me.
    
    Regards
