They are hoping to arrange a game against Clarets fans to be played in Leicester on the morning of the match and we are delighted to tell you that Peter Bateman of the West Midlands Clarets is happy to liaise with the Leicester group if we are able to get a team together.
With this in mind if you are interested then please Email Peter Bateman directly and remember that the game will be taking place in Leicester in the morning.
This is the day Leicester City have designated as their anti-racism match and the Kick Racism Out will be very much a theme.
Electric Yetis have stressed that the game will not just be open to men and they will have at least one woman in their side on the day if the game can go ahead.
This is your chance to represent the Clarets in a match where the idea of two sets of fans getting together on an important day in football is far more important than the result. It is expected that both teams will stay together for a drink (or two) to recover from the activities before moving on to the Walkers Stadium for the game in the afternoon.
The inivitation came from Nobby Newbery who told us,
"The Yetis' ethos is very much one of participation rather than sporting excellence (ahem ... as our results will testify!!!!). We operate a very strict 'football for all' policy - that is, anyone who wants a game, GETS a game, regardless of race, age, ability, gender, skill, experience, fitness or fatness! Our oldest player (so far) is in his mid 50's and our youngest is just 11.
In addition, we have fielded at least one female in every single game we've played and I (despite the name, I AM a girl honest!) am the Club's only ever-present!
"Basically, what I am saying is, we're actually not very good - but that's not what's important!!"
Nobby adds, "The aim is to dispel any preconceived (and not very flattering) ideas some may still have about football supporters, and also to give fans the chance to fly the flag for their heroes.
"I must admit, it's a great feeling seeing two sets of football fans, each in the colours of the team they support, lining up to face each other on a muddy old park pitch somewhere. It's just like watching the real thing - though obviously
without the skill!"
If you are interested please let Peter Bateman know as soon as possible.
