This may sound like a stupid question but do you need real footy boots for Goals/Strikers? My 5 a side playing has always been limited to indoor hardwood floor.

As far as i can remember it was astro turf last night time i was at Goals? although, i'll need to replace my astro turf shoes anyway if I'm going there, nor will i ever play football in my running shoes again, that was a catastrophe!

So, is anyone actually good at football here, or is gonna be a bunch of 20 somethings wheezing and toe poking? If it's the latter then I'm in. It'll be no fun if you're actually right good though.

Both Goals and Strikers are now fully Astro-Grass stuff. Not the old lime-greeny snooker table astro turf that was standard in the past. Pretty good surface to play on, fine soft landing - only downside is wee tiny bits of black rubber everywhere! i.e. if you land on yer erse at any point you get up with a fine dusting of the stuff all over you!

And strikers is far closer for me, but I'll play anywhere

My preference would be Goals, purely for the "ting" noise that is made when you beast a strike off the frame of the goal; the effect at Strikers isn't quite the same.

Still, I'd play anywhere really.

Not very useful for 5-asides, I can assure you!

Being short, speedy and with a low centre of gravity is definitely the ideal physical condition for 5-asides.

That is not the spirit.
