RAF Station Teams

[DRK5390]

Hi all, ive been on this forum for a while and think ive found the right place to post thease questions!

Im starting RTS in March and cant wait to get onto my first postingDT_Xtremez_31:

Ive been playing for my local village football team for 7 years and would love to play for my station team! And i was wondering....

1) Do most stations have a footy team i could join?
2) Is everyone welcome so to speak? e.g you dont have to be ronaldo to play for the team?
3) Do you lose money if you have a match during working hours?
4) Do you play for your station in the local league where you're based or do you only play against other RAF stations?

Any answers would be appreciatedDT_Xtremez_30:

1 yes
2 yes
3 no unlessyou count money spent in bar as being lost
4 Might have changed but usually only play against other Service teams and possibly some local cups.

1. Most Stations have a team.
2. Every Station I've been at has welcomed any standard of player and usually a good social scene as well. (I don't play but enjoy watching and the footy club is usually a really good place to watch a game with a pint)
3. Mostly if you're playing for station it's a duty so sometimes you can claim travel etc
4. I don't know about leagues sorry but friendlies against local teams definitely.

Going back to question 2 You don't have to be Ronaldo but most of the station team think they are Ronaldo....DT_Xtremez_30:
