Are you going to join the group of volunteers and help clean up afterwards?
He's even blurred the part where we score in the highlights when it was perfectly clear for Plymouths goals.
It might happen in Sunday league division 9 games that you played in when opposition teams fancied filling their boot’s playing plodders to get their confidence up but professional teams don’t tend to have many last minute games arranged. Plus how difficult is it to get a few stewards and gatemen in on 24 hours notice, they don’t look the sort to be away on skiing holidays so would no doubt appreciate a few extra quid.
Er because we are a professional club who have to run things properly.
Crickey….are there really Sunday League division 9 games these days or if ever….as for you original post it simply doesn’t work that way at such short notice and perhaps both clubs were treating it as another opportunity to develop fitness and assess where they are and nothing more.
There were 30 years ago
Not that I ever sunk that low always 1st division for me.
Cash only you ** idiot what decade you in and not sure you'd be able to open without providing a simple thing like selling a bottle of water.
A club can’t just organise an event likely attended by thousands of fans off of the cuff. Logistically, practically and legally it would be a nightmare. Policing, stewarding, ambulance, health and safety, insurance etc. All have to be taken into account.
Well open one of the stalls then they manage it for the kids finals it’s not rocket science oh and also that’s only cash entry as well as it was 2 months ago. I presume from your posts that you must be a Health and Safety or Equality and Diversity Officer you boring bugger. You probably do a risk assessment before going to the shops.Cash only you ** idiot what decade you in and not sure you'd be able to open without providing a simple thing like selling a bottle of water.
It's a great idea, run a business contrary to a) it's insurance and b) the law. Fuck 'em, we want to make a few grand.
Craig the Walrus?
Spoken like a true civil servant Lytham. Bravo
Maybe they know the ins and outs and have a more holistic viewpoint.
They also know about that in advance and can plan and prepare for it. It’s a pro football club. You have to work within the law and the limits of insurance etc. They’re hardly gonna risk hundreds of thousands of pounds due to fines for non compliance for the sake of £15-20k
You mean someone with common sense?
Obviously because they didn’t want you there
You are getting back to your brilliant best.
Nearly 50 years ago( yes I was around and playing) there were at least 2 different Sunday Leagues.I played originally for the Blue Fountain which then renamed itself as the County and Commercial had two teams.There were 30 years ago
Security close the blinds.What do they do with the Corner Flag when there's a game behind closed doors? Do they close it for the duration, or close the blinds or what?
I thought the Moretti lounge was only for actual match days though, so no one would be in there yesterday?Security close the blinds.
Morretti lounge the blinds are one way so you can watch the game in there whilst game is on.
Yep your correct was just making a boring point about the type of blinds.
Nearly 50 years ago( yes I was around and playing) there were at least 2 different Sunday Leagues.I played originally for the Blue Fountain which then renamed itself as the County and Commercial had two teams.
The first team started to play their Sunday games in the afternoon and many players lost interest ( after all part of the Sunday football attraction was a few pints afterwards and remember in those days pubs had strict Sunday hours and closed at 3pm and didn’t reopen until the evening).
The result was they failed to fulfill their fixtures so the then league committee wanted our second team,which I helped run and captained much of the time) to take their place in the higher league.I had to attend a full meeting with the committee to argue it was not a great idea as we played in the lower divisions and the first team were in the second division and none of the first team were keen to step down to play for “us“ and nor did we want them too as it would mean our lot would be unlikely to get a game but nor did we want to thrashed every week as was most likely to happen.We obviously wanted to be competitive but we really played for fun and never really set out to win trophies and losing on a regular basis is not fun.
The committee relented and agreed to keep us the division we were in.
Can’t remember exactly the dates but I know we joined the smaller Sunday league eventually.
This was in the period late sixties to 1977 when I moved away to where we live now in Cheadle Hulme.My Sunday football from there on was in the Manchester Accountants League and my final game was in 1993….I was too sore every Monday morning to carry on
Yep sometimes you have to take a deep breath with the miserable gets on here.
Maybe it was too late to clear it with the police.
Jeez, you don't half bang on Malced. I gave up after attention span.Short version for Mac please, and for anyone else with the attention span of a gnat
I'd say it was quick thinking on Critchley's (or whoever), part to get this game on. We can't keep fannying about with games against the likes of AFC Fylde's under 18 second XI. We need to pitch in against good sides. Plymouth are full of confidence going into their first Championship season and they provided our lads with a good test.
Oi, I played in division 9 Sunday League. We had a high standard. Only lads that drank over 8 pints the night before were allowed to play.
There are a couple on here who were involved around the same time though usually one in opposition ( unless we borrowed him which did happen)Short version for Mac please, and for anyone else with the attention span of a gnat
yep, totally agree. I'm not desperate for the football season to come along. Too many other things to enjoy and do at the moment.
