SteveM Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Exactly what St Blazey didn't need after only 8 league fixtures played going into 2021. Inevitable winter floods, COVID-19 restrictions and floodlight failures. It'll probably be March before they can play again, then try to cram 30 league games into 60 days. What a disaster!

They were also drinking in the bar at half time, all the 'lads' from Plymouth, now Covid reported within the club ( what did they really expect!!?) committee need to grow some & deal with the root of the issues these 'individuals' have caused the club in the last 6 months ...

Mr Justice Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 People don’t realise how fortunate Cornwall is being in Tier 1. It is keeping businesses open in the county and people employed! People in Cornwall have made that happen collectively by adhering to the rules. Ultimately the video took place in Devon in Tier 2. Simple thing to do is whoever booked the accommodation for the party is given a £10k fine by Devon and Cornwall police and those that attended given the £200 fine. These idiots are not just putting themselves in danger but potentially their opposition and club volunteers. It’s no wonder the country is in the state it is because of these attitudes.

Certainly will do nothing to put the rumours to bed. Worryingly there seems to be some misplaced support for the culprits in the comments section as well! They should have dumped the miscreants days ago along with their policy of being a Devon club based in mid-Cornwall. Whatever they might achieve on the pitch will always be tainted (it was going that way already this has just guaranteed it). Doing the right thing will cause massive difficulties and even relegation (if the League/C.F.A. don’t impose it first) but they would retain their integrity and they have risen from the ashes before, they could do it again (this time without all the imports)!

Philheybrookbay Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 PR wise it's a disaster. This isn't just going to stay in Cornwall or Devon- this party is going to hit the nationals probably tomorrow. When you've got St Blazey youth having to put out statements distancing themselves to protect young kids you know the club is in it. Up to the neck and sinking. How the hell they thought hiring a flat for a night was a good idea I don't know. But the ramifications not just from Cornish FA but English FA ain't going to be pretty, unless Blazey act and act quickly.

Agree with you to a point Philhaybrookbay, however, apart from the committee newcomers (including Paul) the remainder of the committee must take some of the responsibility/blame. They chose the managers, oversaw the player recruitment and watched the shenanigans over the last year home and away (players parents, Falmouth flairs, the home grandstand, and any number of more minor transgressions).

Paul and all those involved with the club will be devastated - as a local football fan I would always remain 100% behind them and support St Blazey - but can have nothing to do with those involved nor attend / support their continued revival without independent action - having spent a year abiding by COVID rules, having lost a close family member and having Xmas (and the year) ruined - surely a stand has to be made - not one forced by the FA but one by a hard working honest club - every other club would stand side by side with them- if they did the ‘right thing’. leedsunited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 In reality the only part that St Blazey can be slightly accountable for are the cancelled games. They would have no choice but to accept the players saying they were Covid positive, and reacted properly. A bunch of blokes go out on the beer and not associated with the club at that time and mis-behave is nothing to do with the club...unless they booked in as St Blazey AFC. Why would they do that? It boils down to whether the club did in fact know ...I would not think so. If they did that is serious, serious trouble. Their biggest problem is the seriously bad publicity.
