  1. Well if you made a midweek league played on all the 3G pitches in the area this might help, flex league has been very popular but maybe a more competitive league. 1hrs games, twice a night, tueday and wednesday in multiple locations, Truro, Penyrn, Penwith, Falmouth, Hayle etc the 3g pitches mean you don't get games cancelled so much in winter. Or maybe had more Saturday or Sunday morning matches. I think football can take up to much of peoples weekends. Football will always be popular just need to find a format that works for the masses and those that are dropping away.
  2. Does anyone know of any teams training with a 20mins drive from helston? Looking to get fit again and play ?
  3. Is there a sunday league website? I am looking to play sunday football and am based in Helston. Played Veterans last year for St. Agnes but its to far to go for a game. Big Breakfast can you drop me an email so i can talk to you about playing? hello@tm-designs.co.uk
  4. Thanks for your comments, it was tough but maybe never seeing or meeting the man helped, who knows. I didn't want to be all high and mighty with my story. I just want to share my story and how I feel from a victims family point of view. Who's to say they feel the complete optisite. The main point i want to make is you can do far more to stop this happening again by helping those around you. Drinking and driving does happen but we need to help make it way more socially unacceptable. DONT TURN A BLIND EYE WHILE OTHERS DO IT INFRONT OF YOU
  5. At the age of 12 my older brother (16) was killed when a car mounted the pavement and took his life with one hit, he was with a friend at the time on holiday. The man responsible was later charged with drink driving, 2 year suspended sentence for manslaughter and band for 2 years. He claimed he drove off to get home to call the ambulance and had some whisky to calm his nerves. He actually drove up the pavement, I find it hard not to believe he was drunk at the wheel. The memory of finding out this will live with me to my grave. I have seen the affect it has had on my family, his friend and the community around us. Although nearly 24 years later I still feel the man responsible has the worst memory of this all. He has killed another human, a young person at that. He didn't set out to kill my brother and events that lead up to the accident might have been obvious of something bad happening. Would I wish him harm, NO. Would i wish him to lose his job and never work in his field of employment. NO I fully understand the sentiment of this thread but if you really want to make a difference. next time you are in a pub and see someone drinking knowing they are about to drive afterwards. Maybe point out to them its illegal and dangerous and call them a cab. Drink driving is about education. You not turning up to a game cos one of the many people employed by the club killed by doing it, isn't going to stop it happening again. Confronting people you know who drink drive WILL. Sorry to bring the tone down
  6. Thanks to everyone for a great season. see ya next season
