DARA Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Any truth in the rumour Steve Allen is no longer the manager of St. Day A.F.C. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Leah Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yawn Yawn....boring boring but I thought I would post before the rumour gets out of control as per normal, and everyone gets bored with the topic..... Unfortunately Steve has decided to step down as manager of St Day 1st team because of not being able to commit has he first thought. He also didn’t want to get halfway through the season and put the club in the same position as last season. He also as two boys that are heavily involved in football and didn't want to get in the position of not supporting them as much as required. As a club we’ve thanked Steve for his enormous efforts keeping the team going at the end of last season, which really was a huge task, and wish him every success in the future. It was a huge shocked to us last night at our AGM, but football goes on and the committee our now making the decision on the new manager for the forthcoming season, however at the same time taking in to consideration the seconds and thirds who don't forget were hugely successful last season and we don't want all that hard work to go to waste. We as a committee understand that there is only 6 weeks until the start of the new season and are working hard over the weekend to make the correct decision. Hope this answers your questions, and we will update all that are interested in due course.

tyson Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Maybe now you wished you appointed the successful steve roscoe instead! A club going backwards in my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Leah Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Maybe we should of done, but who will know. A club setting an ambition of promotion from our reserves at the start of the season and then ends up not only securing promotion from both teams, but included 1 team winning a league, also in four cup finals two of which they one, yep ceratinly sounds like a club going backwards to me. Anyway tyson thats fine if you think its a club going backwards come and help us go forward in your mind or dont bother to come at all. Thanks for the interest in st day afc as always Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom&jerry Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Stop going on about your junior teams to Compensate for your first teams short falls! at the end of the day maybe you should look to your junior teams that win stuff rather than get a manager just for his contacts to bring in loads of oursiders!!!

Smudge Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 A club going backwards in my mind! How does the old saying go....? "Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to go forwards"??? I'm sure everyone at St Day is doing their best for the club for the coming season and I personally wish them the best of luck, they've taken some real stick on here over the past couple of years and in spite of the haters they are still pushing on to provide the best football they can.

Portreathlegend Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 not to knock a club when down, but i hear 6 of last years first team are now at threemilestone playing this year, so maybe the junior teams will now need to step up and play senior football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Leah Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sorry tom & jerry, but I forgot that when a team succeeds you’re just meant to shut your mouth and not say any more about it. We are not compensating for any team and yes the first team just isn't going to plan at the moment. The plan this season was to feed from the reserve teams and help the first just as a club should be run, last season we boosted are reserves to get as high up in the new Trelawney league as possible, which was a big thing but paid off in some respects but perhaps the fact of stabilising the first team that didn't. Smudge thanks very much and yeah your right we realised we had to go back to go forward and get are reserve players at a standard to help the combination team. We are working very hard behind the scene just like any club and unfortunately the first team is a bit of a headache but were hoping we can try and get it right asap. The boys in question left at Christmas to go to threemilestone it's great to know they are still there, the junior players are more than capable to play at a senior standard however due to also playing Sunday league it makes it difficult when they want to play both days. Anyways thanks aging for your valuable interest. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyson Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Your reserve team was far better than your first team last year, that's why you won so much while on the other hand your first were being stuffed regulary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Leah Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yeah, we know that and that is what we have been saying. We put our time in to our reserve sides so that we were in higher leagues when the two leagues merged. If we didn't we could of ended up having two reserves sides in div 4 & 6 and when looking to feed players into our combo team, the players playing at that standard may not be good enough. Whereas now we have teams in div 1 and 4, which was the best possible result, and hopefully we have kept the players therefore having players to feed the first team and hopefully attracting new players available to play at that standard and going on to feed the first team. It could of all gone horrible wrong in the respect of the first team getting relegated but it didn't an as the saying goes there was method in our madness!!! We as a club our building for the future and not tomorrow. It's a small step to hopefully better things. Rome wasn't built in a day Tyson, and was just trying our best to succeed and bring successful football to our village and the community. What club our you involved in just out of curiosity??

Portreathlegend Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes a few more players have gone 3ms way since end of season, which is great for them and i wish them all the best for this season, gonna have a strong team once again. best of luck from everyone at Portreath AFC As for st.day, unlucky guys, now you have the task of trying to get boys to play in combo league, when all they want to do is play lower league and win trophies.

If you read further back most of them like to play Sunday's with their mates, partly what all of football is about! So senior football is not an option in that case! Portreath legend what an unintelligent person you really are! One slight difference between st day and portreath is that when the S**t hit the fan they managed to pull together put three sides out every week and stay in the combo league! Also remember you will have to come to vogue park to play the reserves this season so think before you post next time!

Dave Marks Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Shame to see a club like St. Day with great facilities struggling with the 1st team like they do, i believe from mine & roscoes interview 2 seasons ago they have had about 5 managers. The commitee seem right the set up seems right, as my mate steve says get the 1st team in order and the rest should fall into place.In my opinion, The next 1st team manager should be in charge of overseeing all 3 teams to which the 2nd & 3rd team managers will adhere to. Bring in players that want to play for the club because they like or love their club,as for sunday football if it clashes any one else that signs has to be made aware that 1st team comes first so can not play for just 2nds or 3rds unless the ability of that players is clearly recognisable. ie there not good enough for 1st team but ideal for 3rds etc... My honest opinion is St.Day tried to run much before walking in combo a few good youngsters & a couple of old heads & a realistic top ten finish would suffice this season,keep what you have next year bring in two or three more and 5th or 6th could be there, 3rd season who knows the combo is not what it was,you will always be up against three or four sides that pay, but everyone has to live with that. Like at one or two clubs in that league if you have a spnsor of 50 pound per game throw it to the drivers on away games and at home get the jugs in. Me personally 1st 2nd & 3rd team managers should hand out a beer card for the first pint get your food and away yo go the atmosphere is what you make it,at a club like this it should be rocking.
