Not bad value really - 2 teams of 11 plus 3 rolling subs = 28 players in total which breaks back to £75 each on the cheaper rate!
If anyone on here organises such a thing I would be interested...

And i'll make you captain
Playing was a bit of a disappointment as the pitch was rock hard.
Reffed a Charlton vets team vs the Back to The Valley team of 92. That was brilliant.

Matt Wright reports
Bookings are now open for supporters or companies to play on the Valley pitch this summer – but act soon, because of a quarter of the slots have already been snapped up.
A total of 84 pitch-hire slots are available from May 6th-26th, with benefits including the use of the home and away changing rooms and dugouts, the use of the lower west stand for up to 500 spectators, and three official match footballs.
And the news that the Championship season will begin a week earlier in 2013/14 means that it is more important than ever to reserve a slot as early as possible.
Head of commercial sales Dave Archer said: “Following a vote by all Football League clubs last month, which saw a majority of 45 clubs in favour of bringing the start date forward, next season will begin on August 3rd.
“Because we need to allow a set period for Valley groundsman Colin Powell and his team to regenerate the pitch in time for the start of the new campaign, this year’s pitch hire period from May 6th-26th will therefore be a week shorter than previous years.”
After guidance from manager Chris Powell and his coaching staff, Charlton were one of the 25 clubs who voted against the proposal, ultimately to no avail.
“The commercial department supported this stance because pitch hire is one of our most lucrative non-matchday activities, but after the vote went against us, we’re now busy completing bookings and making the most of the time that we have,” added Dave.
“The full list of slots was only finalised a fortnight ago, but we’ve already sold a quarter of them to our regular clients and those on a waiting list who had previously expressed an interest and were waiting for the dates to be confirmed.
“Last year was actually our busiest ever pitch-hire period, so with one fewer week this time around, we’re expecting even greater interest.”
The Valley pitch can be used for corporate football games, supporters’ matches, local league cup finals, mini tournaments or even It’s a Knockout-style competitions.
Bookings also include complimentary function room hire for up to 500 people, easy parking, private bars and food facilities and, for an additional charge, the club can supply a referee and assistant referees.
Four pitch-hire slots per day are available, each of which lasts two-and-a-half hours, and bookings start from £1,750 (plus VAT). Discounted daily rates are available as well.
Said Archer: “We are talking to local league and associations, and there are also plans to continue the schools tournament which has taken place over the past two years. We’re also working with the Charlton Community Trust to support its work.”
