Dave Deacon Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 i understand the stadium ban has been reduced by half and so 56 days. This means has approx 5 days of ban left to serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballChat Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Having seen the state of the Callington pitch in recent months, I think it’s about time your username was changed Mr Blatchford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitch Care Guru Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 You note my name is Mr Blatchford and I note you hide behind a user name, the ground has been in need of some TLC however the quality of the pitch, playing surface I leave to those who play on it. If you would like to come along and introduce yourself I will take you on it, however I doubt you will but can always hope. In all my posts, probably a couple, my name is always included. For future reference I will be leaving the forum, so unless anyone wants to speak with me directly, always available at the ground on match days, its goodbye from me.

It’s a shame that people feel the need to slate other people and their business’ and have to hide behind an alias to do it. Perhaps a trip to the Marsh is in order @FootballChat and you can cast your expert eye over the pitch and show us all where we are going wrong. In my opinion the pitch is looking fantastic along with plenty of other clubs who choose to use Steve @Pitch Care Guru. My players have been delighted to use our pitch since Steve has made the fantastic surface for us. middle mans mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there pre season and it was in a bad way. Rusty old stand, smashed windows around the changing rooms with broken glass scattered around. Goal mouths were 99% mud and several divots and dead patches around the pitch. If they’ve improved that since my visit in August then fair play to them! My opinion may be outdated in that case.

Joe - Camelford has an excellent playing surface and has been commented upon by all that visit - but that is down to a few (very) unpaid volunteers - which is why those that do volunteer and give up their time should be commended, at all clubs. We all agree via different threads that without Refs games can’t be played -but without volunteers there would be no pitch or even a chance to play.

Steve Carpenter Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Slidetackletechnician said: Very confused did the fa now say that the officials lied then ?? Shambles No they're not saying that. If they were, the suspension would have been overturned completely. A couple of points that may make it clearer for you. 1. Serious cases, and from what I gather this would fall into that category, from the start of this season are dealt with by an FA commission not a County FA one. 2. The recommended penalties for serious offences normally have a range and a 'usual' start point which is typically in the middle of that range. I suspect that in this case, once found guilty, the start point of 112 days was handed down and this was then reduced to the 56 day minimum on appeal.

It’s quite simple why - what you were attempting to post had nothing to do with the local game. My contact details are all over the place - give me a call on 07759 502408 - happy to discuss.
