cat weasel Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 At this level of football this is totally shocking everyone saying how far helston have come etc which is a credit to the people down there may I add surely they can raise a team as they have 3 down there I don't like seeing any teams penalised but this is twice and both long trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Almost beggars belief. It will cost them a fine of course. It would be interesting to know the reasons for which they can't raise eleven players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 The club have worked very hard to make their ground as good as anyone's. Somewhere, these hard working people are being let down. Is this gona be the case every time a club hasn't got much to play for? Pathetic. If they can't do the travelling then down to the West you go. St Blazey and Newquay have been shocking but they always turn up. Giving up is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Waters Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Whilst the statement from the Chairman is well meant and he is genuinely sorry , it still does not deal with the fact that they DID have players available, but the club was unable to persuade them to travel. This is the second occasion. It therefor suggests that the Chairman is not capable of controlling his club and as a result the Club should not be in the league they are in. Think of all the clubs today in the league who pulled out all the stops to travel, when they guessed they had little chance of points and it made no difference to their position if they won lost or drew.Yes they do have fantastic facilities, but there is more to running a club than that, they are not fit for purpose, so relegate them.

I fail to see how this is an example of a chairman failing to control his club. A chairman can control all things that are nothing to do with human nature, i.e. the running of the club and the bar etc, but the players cannot be ordered or forced by the manager let alone the chairman. They are not employees or in the forces and so clubs are, as always have been, at the mercy of the players. I in no way condone what has happened but please don't blame the chairman. I think as far as Helston were concerned, the writing was on the wall as soon as Sid's resignation became common knowledge. In an ideal world maybe it should have been kept quiet until the end of the season. Sadly this is another example of the ever-increasing player power/apathy which continues to dog local football and why teams withdraw from leagues etc. Sad sad day for Helston and all those who give their time and efforts for free.

mattelot Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 So those players that wouldn't or couldn't be persuaded to travel shouldn't play for the club again .

cornishteddyboy Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 In the Combo Helston Reserves had no game but in the Trelawny League their Third team have been awarded a Home Win and three points as their opponents Marazion Blues could not raise a side. This keeps Helston top of the Division 1 on goal difference from St Agnes Reserves. By rights both teams in effect could not raise a side, either Helston or Marazion. If I was linked to St Agnes I would be now sorely aggreived as in a way the title may be lost on a technicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite possible that said players won't play for Helston again but who is to say that they won't do it at their next club? Like I said, player power etc. As for the fantastic camaraderie - can't comment because I don't know.

panda Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It seems odd that a club that is talked about as a well run club cannot take eleven players plus maybe two subs to fulfill a fixture when it appears that their reserves never had a game and their thirds did not play because their opponents could not raise a side.

WendronOfficial Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It has everything to do with Helston thirds - you are one club not separate ones! I always thought that senior clubs have to take priority and if a first team can not fulfill a fixture then the other side's can't. I think this is only a Trelawny ruling - but it should apply across the board. If players are not signed on then it is somewhat naive of Helston for not signing on more players. In no way whatsoever should it be blamed on Paul (chairman), Sid and Richie. The work they have put in on and off the field to get the club to where it is has been outstanding and they deserve better. I wish Helston all of the best, I hope the players and the town turn up and out in force on Wednesday to give Sid and Richie the send off they deserve. Whoever is due to take over has a few bridges to build - in and out of the club it seems - but the potential at Helston is massive. They have it in them to be one of the top clubs in Cornwall - it is perhaps a shame for them that they aren't a little closer to the Tamar Bridge.

Because the rules state, if a club has several teams and a higher level team within the club can not raise a side then teams within that club below that one can not play. So with your first team not raising a side the rest could not play or if they did would be fined and lost the points. If your first team played but your Reserves could not raise a side then your 3rd, 4th, 5th and so on (if you had them) could not play. If your first, reserves played but your 3rds could not raise a side then your 4ths, 5ths and so on could not play. So, as I say your 3rds and Marazion could not raise a side so the game should not be awarded to you as a right but voided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is NOT the rule - (CTB you know the rules?) the rule is within a competition - Trelawney and SWPL Prem are different - this has been raised before and it appears that some clubs / teams are looking to profiteer from others. Seriously, looking to disadvantage Helston 3rds players, who are not SWPL players is unfair and is an issue for the Trelawney forum, not the important issue of why a club's structure like Helston cannot raise a team of senior players. Helston First team and club should and will be heavily sanctioned for failing to fulfill two consecquetive fixtures - surely though all football supporters in the Dutchy should be looking to support Helston not coming up with 'relegate' them!!

leedsunited Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Helston have always in the past given Bodmin hard games, a fantastic set up down there, although this season their side has not been a patch on teams they have had previous. Having to forfeit games at this 'supposed' level is truly sad, maybe now is a good time for Sid Naylor to hand over the baton to somebody else for the good of the football club.

Jeff's Telling Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 A nightmare for any club at this level, not fulfilling one, but two fixtures, and also rather embarrassing for the SWPL - no one likes to see a team with an * alongside their name with points adjusted. I have no knowledge of the situation at this club ( in fact have no desire to do so), however when their game at Cullompton recently was forfeited on a Wednesday, 3 days before the game, I did comment on this forum that with the SWPL accepting this situation so far in advance ( accepting the earlier postponement at Cullompton) it did set an unwelcome precedent. I have the utmost respect for the SWPL officials, but just wonder whether the Cullompton decision made it easier for the offending club/players to pull out of the Parkway fixture.

Lost 10 - 1 could not raise a team for the next two games (!) didn't have to think about it - because it's fact....there's some truth for you. And what is actually happening will out in the end - always does.
