River Allen has joined Blazey.... Surely will be the best player in the league

Certainly didn't see that move coming. Someone at Blaise Park come into some money or something? 💵😉

Or he's found his level ? 

[Ian Pethick]

Should be playing step 2/3 football, not wanted or not interested?

No offence to Blazey, but it's a long way from "being at Parkway for years and rising through the leagues with them."

(River Allen, August 2020).

[Footy Detective]

Excellent signing for St Blazey but will he stay ?

To answer WOTP probably not wanted.

[Yourhavingalaugh]

I thought River Allen joined River Kenwyn 🤔

[Both Sides of the Tamar]

River Allen a talented player, but too often goes for the 'Hollwood  pass or shot rather doing the right thing and keeping a move flowing. Sometimes seems quite disinterested,  but can be a match winner on his day. In truth, his going didn't weaken PPFC.

Several reports of being poor in the dressing room, but surely good man management deals with that? Notable that bigger ambitious clubs (Step 5 or higher) were seemingly  not interested  in him 

Will look like Glen Hoddle at step 6! 

[Tavi Fan]

Is he really going to see the season out at Blazey? Surely someone at step 5 will throw money his way at some point

I'm sure a certain Mr Massey was on the phone pretty quickly after seeing St Blazey announce the signing

A lot of players last season seemed to be dual registered playing in the SWPL and the WL, if River was to also sign for  a WL club would Blazey have priority over him when the fixtures clash or does the player decide who to play for ? Or does the higher league side take preference? Or does it matter which club he signed for 1st?

Are there any rules which cover these situations.

Down to the player I guess, no rules to govern it.

The ending of dual registration between Peninsula and Western League clubs is in itself a good reason for the upcoming merger.

He was going to get £350  a game at Barnstaple 😂 who funding that at blazey. ?  
 gone from captain of his hometown club who just got promoted to southern league to join a team that effectly Sunday football standard  for him no disrespect to peninsular league

Private sponsorship, will receive a standard wage from the club, the rest made up from private sponsorship. 

£250 a game

Does anyone know if that true he getting £250 quid a game ? I mean that is a absolutely ridiculous figure for that standard.I know Barnstaple offered  him £350.00
how would the rest of his team feel picking up £40-£50 quid here and there

Regardless off what River is on he is a winner and a leader and will inspire all at St Blazey.

Perhaps Paul from St Blazey could come on here to clarify ? Or his he too embarrassed ? I certainly hope not because if it is true then that is total insanity.

If it’s “private sponsorship” Paul probably won’t know the exact details and definitely won’t be embarrassed!

Of course but as long as we’ve all been involved in local football, it’s always the most talked about! 😀

[sportsman10]

I be suprised if he there for blazey first game of the season. 

[Southwest football fan]

Imagine actually paying someone at this level that much who's only scored like 17 goals in total, I know defenders that have scored 3 times that

Not so sure they're signing him for his goalscoring prowess!

It's not even close so don't worry. What someone earns is their business though. 

As mentioned about the tax, two people who look after players wages have everything worked out and written down to the penny. A book for every season. It will be intresting to look back on in years to come. It's not worth the bother of facing a fine so its done by the book....literally! 

On a side note, this Saturday we have our annual clean up day. A chance for supporters, players, committee etc to come together and lend a hand, whether it be painting, power washing, strimming, you name it. Any help from an hour to all day, it all helps and its much appreciated. Kick off from 8am. 😀

 

 

[cornish leg end]

St blazey must have some budget again this season. 
can’t see river at the club behind Christmas at the latest. I heard few players wanting to leave blazey after Phil stepped away.

Chappers retired. But alot of the players committed to next season already. Shaping up for an intresting season.

The same was being said this time last season blazey to win the league. I still think they won’t win it this year

£15 that’s just his fuel allowance , What I want to know is is anyone on here that’s slated River for all his huge payouts he’s going to get every week ( by the way Leeds my lads volunteered to help carry his packet to his car for him for another tenner ) have any of you actually played at the levels he’s played at 🤔NO 

What it must be to be so jealous all because back in the day the knockers had to pay £1 subs ( you Leeds would of been paying a shilling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dave deacon I recall you were listening to 606 phone in I believe that’s right saying what a lot of moaners were ringing in .

I believe you also said surely we Cornish would not be like that ( words to that affect I believe apologies if wrong) surely you need only read this to know what you would get.

Maybe you should remove the snakes & keyboard wizards from this forum .

Look forward to my replies love to all 🥰

 

[100%cornish]

Jason Chapman retired i will believe that when i see that if its true wander who Blazey will get in to replace him theres not a lot of keepers of his calibre out there be interesting to see who is in goal when they play Falmouth in pre season .Still think Blazey will win the league River Allen is a class act remember him destroying the G in a final when he played for Bodmin saw him playing for Truro and he was out of his depth there ,but a great  player Blazey have there just need a decent Goalie now i reckon it will be the Bodmin goalie Robarthen who will be 2nd choice to Jordan Duffey now and hes too good for that . 

Counting down the days for pre season footy i will be spending most of my time at Wadebridge 4 times in 3 weeks cant wait all great friendlies i see  Helston are after someone to play them in friendlies im hoping 1 of my local teams will step i n to take up there offer would like to see them play

Who cares what level he played at. Couldn’t care less if he played in the premiership. But the fact he going picking up 3 times more then his team mates for local football is not right especially when the fans who going to watch him are probably struggling themselfs but expected to fork out fuel to get to the ground . Entrance fee and have a drink in the bar to help fund it. 
here an idea reduce the turnstile price by half and the players match fee by half see who hangs around.

Don’t believe all the gossip 🤗

Evening all …what I find amazing about this thread is not that River Allen may be receiving £250 a game plus two holidays in the Maldives per annum but that we would pay Marksys lad £15 per game…wot nonsense….I know for a fact that he gets a coke and a kitkat per game (only home obvs) ….so the message is don’t believe all you read on forums… ITK

Doesn’t matter what he’s getting paid he will be gone before Xmas anyway. He will be bored playing at that level. The league will be at its weakest for years!!

Any news out of local clubs 100%? Not herd about G or nqy, they lost players? Any idea who will be best team in town this year?

Think most clubs start back at pre season training in the next week or so, guessing that the news of player movements and signings will turn from a trickle to a flood over the days to come.
