Surely not much has changed, other than starting in a lower league on going on an ego trip. The last time I played at praze in the Sunday league our changing room was appalling, holes in the floor and a big puddle in the middle. Now I know you don't play footy in the changing rooms, but the pitch wasn't much better. Uncut,poor lines, goals and nets falling down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bartlam Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I haven't looked at the stats in detail but I am aware that over 900 (I think) players who were registered to the Trelawny League in 2015/2016 did not re-register in 2016-2017. There are many players around this area who didn't play last season who may well return. Players could come from that pot, yes some may come from other clubs but one thing you have to bare in mind... there have been quite a few teams that have ceased to exist in the last few seasons in this area. That means that there are fewer clubs for people to join. Now, the way I see it is that these teams are applying to join the league because the committee are sure they can field a side for the season. There has been very little activity on this forum for teams recruiting players, despite the fact that as we all know, management don't rest. There is plenty of recruitment going on in the backround. That has a hidden message in itself, I like to think. Teams will soon begin pre-season training and its then that we will see what clubs may struggle for numbers. Hopefully, there are enough players to go around. We can do more though, we all know people who have decided to leave the game... Let's find out why and see if we can get them back into the game. There will be clubs that struggle for numbers, particularly until the cricket season ends, but hopefully with hard work, we can get people back into the game. I for one will be trying hard to encourage people to start playing again. I'm just one man though - as a collective we need to get more players involved. An important thing for me also is retention - look after the players that you have. Often you see players leave the game because they've been treated quite badly. Let's treat them better. Im sure within a few weeks, we will get a rough idea of the numbers, particularly more so when registartations start poring in. Let's not pass judgement on the new clubs/teams until there are facts. New teams have every right to join the league. Just remember that it is the clubs that vote them in at the AGM. As has already been said, each club are allowed two representatives to attend the AGM. They will be allowed to ask their questions and pass their opinion, and of course the vote. If you have concerns and are involved with a club, pass these to your secretary or whoever it isn't that will be attending the AGM. Personally, I like to keep an open mind.

Bobjfh Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Most of the contributors, above, have all been around for a while and know all the issues around 'new clubs' and teams folding and there is a real and understandable caution over new teams for next season, but without stating the obvious there are some points that need clarity: Stopping new teams entering the league will not stop teams folding - players / managers leave clubs for a reason and won't go back if not allowed to form a new teams - they will go elsewhere or stop, either way the initial team folds. Clubs at the AGM vote in new teams - use that opportunity to test the sustainability of the new team - do they have finance / facilities / sponsors / committee - where are the players coming from (if that's important to you) etc etc. Vote YES if a good case given or NO if not - don't say YES or NO before the meeting to all teams. A lot happens in the space of a couple of seasons - teams are sometimes folded for the good of the club or for 'the right reason' - a couple of seasons later new players / managers make an extra teams feasible. Because they have folded before does not make them any less or better an option for admission to the league. Clubs that have a 'ceiling' for their men's teams and a very good youth setup are more likely to need to expand the number of their men's teams - not allowing them to do so effectively means that all the effort they have put in over years developing young players are gifted to other teams - personal view as to whether that is good or not. Teams that are solely based around a youth team reaching adulthood will be problematic - do they have men supporting them and a large enough squad - any new team with less than 15/16 players will struggle. Surely all that matters is that next season there are as many teams playing across as many leagues as possible - and to be honest if we let in enough for a full constitutional quota for the leagues and a couple drop out during the season (new or old teams), does it really matter - everyone gets as much football as possible. Either way - make certain your clubs turn up to the AGM and you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trelawny League sides (add in Duchy, Combo and East Cornwall) are kept going through teams using a lot of youngsters aged 16-18 years old to fill their ranks. I should think that quite a few of those 900 are lads that move away to go to UNI.

Given that we're all fishing in the same pond I suspect it'll be around the same proportion. On average since Trelawny started about a third of players don't register from one season to the next - and another 25-30% change clubs every season. Also 1080 seems quite high but is perhaps indicative of what is now needed to field 11 on a Saturday. 38 minutes ago, cornishteddyboy said: Another point.

Retention of post 16 players is a major concern within the FA and there are some initiatives on the way (Flexi football will be discussed at the Trelawny AGM for example).

I'm sure your right but it just seemed a high average per team (54) when the Trelawny average is only 37 and many of the same arguments apply. Mute point in the end - it is what it is.

A fair point and one I don't necessarily disagree with but to a large extent you are asking them to prove something that is very difficult if not impossible to establish. As I've said above, about a third of players don't re-register for the following season. A not too dissimilar number change clubs at the start of each season and then there are well over 200 transfers per season. Over the years of Trelawny the lack of players is only just the biggest reason quoted for clubs/teams folding with 22 putting it forward as the reason; 20 folded due to a lack of volunteers to run them and there's been a net loss of 8 to the Combination League. Add to that a small splattering of other reasons and you can see its far from straightforward. In the end players will go to play where they want to and without holding players to their current club, which we are not allowed to do, no club can give a guarantee that they're not going to have players joining from other existing clubs. And lest we forget, there are @4000 players out there who have registered at some point but are no longer playing. Getting only a few low hundreds of them back into the game would make a big difference and therein lies the challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it will settle down in a couple of years and all local football will stabilise , but remember it is in your own hands to help with this .
