Mike Odgers Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Would relegation from the SWPL Premier to Div.1 West be a blessing for Falmouth ?If they manage to avoid the drop I can see another season of struggle at the bottom with again a small budget.Losing all games at Bickland this season -the last win being in April, 12 games ago and only two wins in the calendar year at Home.With the debt and uncertainty of a ground it would surely be more easier to rebuild and keep a following with more local games (Penryn-Helston-Mousehole-Penzance-Porthleven-Truro City-Perranporth)F A Vase application would still be valid at this level and also the odd distance trip to Holsworthy and Wadebridge should make of a more pleasing season.And of course there would be the traditional "Derby" games over Christmas and Easter.

Lafs Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I suggested this previously Mike. Id suggest the powers to be over at Wadebridge may be the best people to ask whether it is best to regroup in West Peninsula or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Whats gone wrong down at falmouth town, big club, nice ground but how has it got so bad on the pitch? Change of management hasnt changed their fortunes, mike odgers has stated 'a small budget' but a place the size of falmouth surely could get some investment from local buisnesses? Besides, clubs like camelford, godolphin, elmore repordidly have small budgets yet they manage to compete. Whats your thoughts mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip man Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 heard £300 budget per game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henning Berg Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 £300 per game is more than enough to attract a good amount of players to be in a much healthier league position that falmouth currently are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Well if thats correct then some serious mis-spending been going on! £300 is more than adequate at level of football?? Cant imagen the 3 clubs earlier mentioned spend that amount per game & look how many points they have won throughout the season. That works out at nearly £25 a player if spread even throughout the team. Guys like tommy matthews must be cringing at the current state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 There would be lot of past silverware and history in the Peninsula League West if both Falmouth and Liskeard went down . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It is a certainty that Falmouth will be relegated anyway.On current form I cannot see them ever winning with the present team of players.It would certainly be more entertaining playing in the west division simply because of the reduced difficulties of travel.

leedsunited Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Interesting to hear what former stalwarts neil phillips, george torrance, mark rapsey, tommy matthews etc opinions are on the current state of affairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Good budgets dont guarantee good perfomances. Lots of clubs have money to spend but you need to attract players who are committed to your plight!! MQx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 You could say that about a lot of clubs i suppose but the underlying question is still:- are the players and management good enough for the standard of football they are trying to play??

SWFC Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Need more than just the right man in charge. There are 3/4/5 ex Hayle players, who were average at best in the west league last season. A few call ups from struggling 2nds. John is an ok manager, who loves a challenge. Boy has he got one!! Budget is what it is, we will never know, but the players there are nothing to shout about, maybe that's down to £££, maybe it's down to attraction to the club/managerial team(s) at Falmouth/current players there. I don't think Falmouth Town will get relegated, but honestly believe it might be for the best if they did compete in a lower level for a year or so, rebuild and establish themselves once again.

Cornish Hoop Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Player's are there. Just need the right person in charge. !!!! Controversial ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes they might get relegated, but in my opinion they certainly have the right man in charge. Who else could do it? Who else would want to do it?......................Who else is there with the desire, experience and enthusiasm to take on the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlyneastno.10 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Player's are there. Just need the right person in charge. !!!! Shame the right person wasn't in charge when the ref bottled sending Kevin Miller off when he raised his hands to westy! Should of been the first win at home if "the right person was in charge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 With you on that one Monty, was never in this world a headbutt, bit of rough goes on at nearly every ground in the country between centre forwards and goalkeepers doesn't it? Although newlyneast no10 is the falmouth town managers son so he might of seen something the rest didn't! Does have a point though when he says falmouth should of got a draw that evening, they played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadcert Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Has denty really been given a chance yet only been at town a month or so.Ferguson couldn't change results that quick.the blame must lie with the people who let the second team management go after winning the combo league in favour of Gilbert and Stephens who everyone knew were managers from yesteryear.surely with towns circumstances they should have kept the team together and used it to start the rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie Chow Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 We can all look back and be judgemental, Not so long ago, supposedly on nearly three times the above mentioned figure, we were 5th from bottom. Dent needstime t o get players in and time to get the best out of what we have. As a Club we are indebted to Les And Robbie for all they did. They were prepared to stand up and be counted which they did admirably.They kept the ship afloat when all you critics wrote us off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
