Paul Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Spot on North Devon Dweller. Today was all about getting a cup run going, no politics etc, but only 25 made the trip which for most clubs is good travelling support but for me that was rubbish!!!! The club laid on a coach, only £10 a ticket, a good day out even with the result. Get out and support your local club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 [...] Stick with your club through thick and thin hey? Well I ask you this, would you stick with your Bank if they lost all your savings? Would you stick with your partner if she slept with your brother?

The Green Hornet Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Paul I hope and pray St Blazey will survive relegation but please wake up and realise once and for all that the people of St Blazey know too much about the behind the scenes to want to give up their time, let alone their money to follow their local club. The clubs in bad hands behind the scenes no matter who is managing or playing out their on the pitch. I admire your faith but have to question the lack of realism I'm afraid.

Sorry if the truth hurt Happy to be regarded as a reject by a certain few along with Glynn & Phil but beware because these things can come back to haunt you. However rejects need to be rejected not to walk away by choice like we all did ! I would like to wish the real St Blazey legends like Derek Isbell, Brian Saunders, Pat Saunders, Val Isbell, Pam Cocks, Shirley Richards & Eric Cannon all the best for the current season because these people really do deserve better for their continued hard work behind the scenes. It must be painful to see what's happening on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think playing budgets come from at most clubs ? If the social side of a club dies, you would not have a football side to watch, unless you have a Heaney backing you. The alternative is to limit your playing budget and officials expenses to the amount taken through the turnstiles and tea-bar as Newquay have decided to do - only really possible with good crowds though.

Jenksy007 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 2 Simple questions to someone in the know @ Blazey... 1) What is the largest income for the Club as a whole? 2) What is the largest expenditure @ the Club as a whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 And good crowds are generally generated by good football on offer and where possible a good atmosphere in good company. Unfortunately none of the above appear to exist at St Blazey any longer and thats the reason for the title of this topic! A friend of mine declined to renew his board sponsorship this season at St Blazey, and the person on the other end of the phone to him recieving the news proceeded to moan about how nobody sponsors the club any longer and that the walls were closing in as the club have nothing to offer. Nothing like confirming to the previous sponsor that he had made the right decision hey!! Whatever next with certain individuals down there.

So brains ,where do you think the money that pays the players actually comes from? We have had 1 person saying from sponsors(some of whom have pulled out for whatever reasons),and no doubt some from the massive contribution the huge crowds make,but of course, most of it comes from the takings behind the bar,of which without the things stated earlier there would be none.

Luckily for the club, there still are a few fans (and I mean very few) who do not believe St Blazey FC is just a glorified social club and who believe St Blazey should be pushing forward towards the upper echelons of non-league football. But the sad fact is that most of the people driven away over the past 18 months are people who believe St Blazey should be an ambitious club. In order to be a supporter, you have to have something to support, and if the committee are either deliberately or willingly taking the club in the wrong direction, why would I support that? I'm a football fan. I've followed St Blazey home and away all my adult life and I'll never have any "feeling" for any other club, but do I really see myself going from village to village, following a side not even eligible for the FA Cup?

Spot on Nemesis - one of the most enjoyable days of my football supporting life was with St.Austell when in the West division and we won the Senior Cup. Being in that division isn't ideal but we averaged well over 100 per game, as Newquay will do this season, and had some great fun. Blazey supporters aren't used to tough times like some of us who have followed St.Austell, Newquay, Penzance, Wadebridge etc for years....the cycle of fortune may have turned away from them for a while but the true supporters will stick with them.

Pingu Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think the bottom line here for Dan and the few remaining St Blazey supporters is their concern for what is being done to prevent the decline. There is an obvious huge divide between social club and football club followers at the club and the balance of power continues to sit on the social side. It's not the first and won't be the last time this happens at a football club and it shows that even 'Cornwalls Premier Football Club' isn't immune to decline. Im sure the pirates on a Monday night will change the fortunes and direction of the club!! Christ I'm not sure I can hear anything more ridiculous! And before I get told to get off my arse and do something about instead moaning, well I've tried that along with all the many others. And it's not a case of your face not fitting at St Blazey, its more a case of the core people at the club not letting anyone new with any fresh ideas get Into the core of the club.

Paul Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 As long as theres football to watch ill be there. Our time will come again. When...... but it will. For now, its about sneaking the odd point or win from grounds where we look certain to loose. Theres always the underdog bit to enjoy. When Argyle were in the championship they played some great football but i didnt manage to watch more than a couple away games a season. Yet now were bottom of the football league and ive been to Shrewsbury, Barnet, Crawley, and in 3 weeks ill be off to Oxford with Torquay a couple weeks after that. Ive been to 9 St Blazey games, 6 Argyle games this season. Only 2 wins for St Blazey. 7 defeats. Argyle, 1 draw, 5 defeats!!! Even ive got more points this season than ive seen Argyle earn. 3 points for speeding on route to Shrewsbury!! Still enjoying the football. Argyle v Accrington on saturday. Then St Blazey v Falmouth on the wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onestepup Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Pingu if you think Im that stupid to say the pirates would change the fortunes of the club then perhaps you are stupid in not getting what is being said!!! the point I am making is that the club are trying to attract different groups ect (how many other clubs and im sure you will tell me can say they have events on nearly every night of the week)which will then help benifit FOOTBALL club and can then start moving forward. its no wonder people leave as they get fed up with the constant knocking of the club and individuals instead of trying to work together and move Blazey forward.

bangtidy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 As a true supporter and member of this club i did a little more research into the club and whats going on during the day and night, as im not in there everyday to see. I went in last Monday about 11.45am and was suprised to see about 7-8 in the bar, and the function room was closed off so there was obviously some sort of function going on, I asked the bar person for a list of entertainment for the next few months. I was given a leaflet that had the function advertised, happy hours, fundraising events etc etc, I also asked if it was normally quite busy during the day like it was while i was there, I was told that between 10am and 3.30pm there is a usual crowd that will spend money and that it did go quiet for an hour or so then the tea-time crown would be in. I got the bar person to write down what was happening most evenings and was suprised to find out that there is something on every night! Monday- A group of pirates come in and use the function room from 7,.30-10pm for practice and a sing along, they all have at least a couple of pints each and normally there are between 16-20, there is also a pool team. Tuesdays-Bingo from 7pm, plus 3 snooker teams,plus the football training, Wednesdays- A line dancing group have joined the club with between 12-15 people, i know some years back they used to have a line dancing group but they moved so its nice to see a group backand to see that room being used!! Thursdays- Euchre night (2 teams) which consist of 6 players so thats guaranteed 12 players at one time, plus they have a bingo night every other Thursday, Friday-Darts which again was 6 in the team so yet again guaranteed 12 players at home, plus functions/parties. Saturdays- Functions/Parties and obviously the 1st and 2nd team football teams.. Sundays- Bingo night again plus they have a sunday football team which i will now go and watch/support now that i have all this information So why close the clubhouse??? People have got to realise that there are other pubs/clubs suffering/struggling just as much as anyone else, perhaps instead of slagging the club or people off,we should all stick together and do our best to keep all these things going!! The 1st team are a team put together and are doing their best to play at the best level possible. I know i will support St.Blazey through thick and thin, and when the going gets tough I will be there right behind them, not like you glory supporters.!!!!!!!!

DanBlazey Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well said. If people are fans/supporters of this great club, they should be at Blaise Park for home games and on the road for away games. I've thought about this for months now and believe that staying away only exacerbates the situation. Whatever people think/guess about what goes on behind the scenes, if St Blazey is your club, get behind the boys in green and black - they need you more than ever if they are to retain Premier Division status.

But your missing the point,the club was built around the the football team. If the club is doing well and the efforts put into the running of the social club matched the running of the football club then you will fine. Is there a big divide between the Social club and the football club? Is it run by the same people?.. I dont know!! surley The club must make a profit or it wouldnt be open that profit should go to the football teams !!! Money Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I really dont no the answer to that. But its clear that the football side of things isnt high on the priorities list right now. Maybe thats down to the current financial times right now. Maybe saving every penny now will see us in the clear in better times. Relegation though wont be a good thing for the club or the league. The league wont want to see one of the better grounds outside the top division. Its not to late to turn it around yet mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person is called Brokenshire... I dont know the guy, but he doesnt seem to be the most popular person at St Blazey Football club at this moment in time. Is this right ???

No good suggesting a shake up whilst the old guard refuse to do things differently, release a little grip, trust others, encourage a new type of supporter, sponsor, fan, youth structure and embrace the local community by doing all of the before mentioned. WASTING your time talking about all these ideas as one direction, single minded individual/s currently at the club prefer to see it continue as it is. People just dont get it do they.

Money Man Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I wonder if any off the narrow minded individuals actually read this forum and take any advice from it. I know from before I got involved at St Austell, the club was in one hell of a state but luckily people began to see a vision and started listening to others that had been involved with football and business. From this St Austell started to build. You need a vision at St Blazey and you have to start listening to people who understand football and business. St Blazey is not in the dire situation StAustell was 4 years ago but they soon will be unless the changes happen soon. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Bangtidy - the reason St.Austell's bar is only open on matchdays, for functions etc is because it makes economic sense. The more you open the more your costs increase and unless the takings are sufficient you actually lose all the money you make in a few hours on a matchday....ie when the club is usually packed with players (1st & 2nd team), supporters etc and it can be "staffed" voluntarily. It also helps that, in my experience, there is now a real "club" atmosphere at St.Austell between all sections which helps keep the bar busy before and after matches. Don't forget though that St.Austell was turned around with the clubhouse shut and generating no revenue. The club won the Senior Cup and just missed out on promotion with no clubhouse - being "based" at a local pub. This was achieved by hard work fundraising with a large, dedicated committee pulling together and a local team backed up by a tremendous 2nd team. The delapidated clubhouse was refurbished to a high standard virtually cost free thanks to numerous supporters, players and business people giving time, services and supplies free....thanks mainly to Money Mans "persuasive" powers! The social club and the money it raises now helps a lot but it can be done in other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
