What Not to Ask Urban Rec on a Rainy Night - Urban Rec

May 2, 2022 - 2 years ago

"I mean, I for one am absolutely stoked with the current weather here in Sydney, I mean who wants to actually be able to run sports leagues when working at a sports company…not me, these consistent rained out weeks aren’t breaking my heart or sending my life into a downward spiral whatsoever, not one bit, nada!…”

If ever there was a more sarcastic paragraph written, than the one above…I haven’t read it! Haha

Let’s get one thing straight here guys, we hate this weather and raining out leagues as much as you guys…perhaps even more, as outside of running sports leagues we at Urban Rec HQ do not have lives. Sad but true. Fortunately for us losers there’s some subtle things we have in our day-to-day goings on that act as coping mechanisms and help us stay positive and upbeat, I’ve created a list below – Enjoy.

“Do you think our games will be on tonight” 

Says Keith via email at 7:50am on a Monday morning.

“Due to the delays to my league launch I can now only play 9/10 games of the season, can I get a full refund and withdraw my team as this league is now not as advertised” 

Says Karen, on the day her league launch.

“Hey guys, I’ve been down to the oval on my lunch break and I noticed the grass is pretty long, upon reflection I think I may struggle to perform my Benji Marshal sidestep at touch, can you get the mower down to the oval” –

Says Albert, on the first day it hasn’t rained in 3 months.

“Any chance you can just move this league to an indoor venue, in the same locality, on the same night. For the same price. That way we wont get rained out you see” –

Says Hugo, with tremendous industry knowledge and after clearly doing endless amounts of market research that lead him to such a simple and ingenious solution to our weather issue.

“Oh sorry we just assumed that games were off so we didn’t bother to turn up, or let anyone know we didn’t fancy playing” 

Says Kim, a complete team no show of their 9:10pm Netty game on an overcast Wednesday.

 It is at this point I’d like to take the time to thank everyone not named in the list above for their unwavering support and patience! LEGENDS! For those named in the list above, thank you, you’re the reason we get up every morning.
