swilly bingrove Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 considering the budget being spent at the club i have to ask wot is success this year ? another year of buying the league after they basicly did this year until the virus ... does the style of football mater to any1 or is it win at all costs ? personaly i think hobbs out if he cant win the league in style this year !! i get that they have sum flair players who are nice to watch but i cudnt tell u wot style there going for. give him 6 games and if it aint maximum points with fluid footy get the lad OUT !!! all the best for the year , hope theres something exciting to watch and not just the purse strings doin the talking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 It will be winning the league. Nothing else. Not sure they are too bothered on style of football. The club need the next step up now hence the money spent on experienced players. His biggest issue is keeping them all happy. Big egos won’t be signing to sit on the bench on a cold wet midweek game miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know how the Western League title race would have panned out Mr Bingrove, but given the level of fixture pile up that most clubs faced (Parkway had 17 league games in to play in something like 6 weeks when they league was halted) points on the board could have been an advantage over games in hand. But, as I said, we'll never know. Given the strength of playing squad assembled and the ambitions of the club in general, don't think promotion would be enough. Lee Hobbs is already on record as saying that he will be expected to deliver the league title next season. swilly bingrove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teflon123 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Would say with the players they have assembled already and the money attached to those players, winning every trophy they compete in (plus a relatively good run in both the FA Vase & FA Cup) would be a bare minimum that the board would expect. Having said that, with Tavistock appointing Paul Stapleton as Chairman and with the calibre of players they are touted to be signing/bringing to the club (say that very lightly), my guess is that Parkway would have to go up another gear to compete with them. Its going to be a very interesting Western League this season and you can never right Bradford or Exmouth of either. I know what game I will attending on Boxing Day that's for sure. Good luck to all teams this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%cornish Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Parkway will struggle without all the goals Adam Carter scored for them big mistake letting him go how can they replace a player of his Calibre and goals same goes for Saltash in the Kitchen Premier League how can they replace Ryan Richards goals they cant but Dane BUNNEY will do a good job i always thought he was underated because it was always Matt Cusacks team , now is your chance Dane to show the doubters they are wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think that Matt Wright, Mikey Williams and Ryan Richards would be good for 20+ each (assuming they stay injury free) and then expect others such as Shane Krac and Billy Palfrey will chip in with a few more.

100%cornish Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 None of those players will get the amount of goals Adam Carter saw Matt Wright playing for Truro many years ago but he had a good player alongside him then in Newquays own Isaac Vassel Ryan RICHARDS may struggle as well he will be up against bigger nastier and uglier defenders in a higher league Mikey Williams very good player and Shane KRAC hard player guaranteed to give 100%Commitment and severel yellow cards and some red as well but a real leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Have parkway got any pre season games lined up ? Can’t seem to find any info for thier pre season fixtures anywhere.

Ian Pethick Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not sure there is much point in publicising these matches as spectators cannot be admitted, and it also might encourage people to turn up. They will effectively be training sessions behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the FA guidelines, and also from other forum posts over on the Peninsula League section, my understanding is that spectators are not permitted at pre-season games involving clubs at steps 1-6. Whether letting in non paying spectators is a loophole some clubs will exploit is another debate, and also if there is the possibility of FA sanctions against clubs that ignore guidance. Little clubs could do though if people looked over the fence. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%cornish Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 So thats my plans out the window then was going to Blazey to see them vs Plymouth Parkway and to ST austell to see them play Helston YOUTH whats the point of having Pre season friendlies if noone can watch them its all a bloody joke there wont be big crowds there anyway was lookinf forward to getting out fed up with looking at 4 bloody walls .Someone needs to give a proper answer can spectators go or not,there is 1000s of holiday makers here in Newquay and most of them arent social distanting ,i know us fans can find somewhere where we dont have to be near anyone at a ground i have my usual spots where ever i go .Will be really dissapointed if cant get to games Newquay got a big game coming up August 29th vs Nuneaton Boro and they are bringing down a good size crowd of spectators whose going to tell them they cant get in It says you are highly unlikely to catch the corona Virus outside we could all wear masks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might still do as loads lads from Plymouth will go down to watch thier mates. Who going to refuse them entry ? Also blazey could make a ton of money.

sportsman10 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Parkway and blazey 1-1. Excellent result for blazey away from home even in a pre season. Anyone know the line ups ? Does this mean blazey are looking more of a quality team this season then people thought and may be a surprise or parkway with a lot more work to do to get the new lads playing as a team.

Paul Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Really enjoyed last night. Both teams gave it everything. A really good game to watch. Parkway finished the stronger but several excellent saves earned St Blazey a very good draw. The bar has been set!! Parkways ground looking really good. Tarmaced areas look very smart. Certainly a club that improves every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit of both. Blazey's new keeper, Jordan Duffey, certainly impressed the Parkway supporters with a string of saves in the second half as they came under sustained pressure from the home side. Lee Hobbs' outfit will need time to bed the new signings in and get used to the new coaching staff of Matt Cusack and Matt Godfree, but that's what these matches are about. Only four players from last season's Parkway team started, key players in Rob Farkins,Shane Krac and Matt Wright didn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 River Allen is a huge signing for Parkway, he's arguably a Conference South level player. A big squad will be needed as the fixtures will come thick and fast once the delayed season starts, but even so it looks to like you now have Steve Colwell, Billy Palfrey, River Allen ,Mikey Williams and Shane Krac competing for the midfield places in the 5-3-2 formation they've played in both pre season games so far.

teflon123 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Shane Krac is best mates with the Manager so he'll be odds on to start and River Allen is on more money than most teams budgets in that league so he'll be also odds on to start. That aside, both players named above are class acts and proven so quite rightly deserve their starting place and to be honest, both would probably start in most teams that play in league above and maybe in the league above that again. Think you'll know more about who will be squad players within the first few weeks into the new season and no doubt some will leave, that's normally the case. Not sure Matt Wright is a 30+ goal man and Richards is untested at this level, letting Carter go could be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good signing. I watched Tiverton twice last season, and River Allen was the best player on the pitch both times. He was too good for Step Three, he'll be waaaay too good for Step Five!
