Ian Pethick Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 After submitting their resignations last season, it has now been announced by Tavistock that Chair Paul Stapleton and Secretary Barry Jackson have left the club. Official statement from club was notable in that it contained none of the usual, "thanks for their past work" or ,"best wishes for the future" for either.

sportsman10 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Not sure how much sway Stapleton or staple wallet as argyle fans like to call him had in Tavistock. Always seem to just be a name . Never really affected the budget. Sure they Will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavi Fan Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Obviously hoping someone else will come in as chairman but don’t think either will be missed at Langsford Park.

Stu Henderson and co done amazing to win the league givien our budget and losing players like Crago, Bentley, Andrew and Tyler Elliott. Im not sure what the management expect to achieve this season but if we can get a good team out (especially away from home) I personally think we’ll be fine given what little I’ve seen of the SL Div 1.

Tarus Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Personal view of the game v Falmouth (posted on the Western League page: The Town Man - am new to the forum so wouldn’t want to upset anyone (moved to the area a couple of years ago, watched a lot of Western League and Southern League football and a few SWPL games (mainly Falmouth as best in that league). Agree with some of what was said - Full Falmouth Team (certainly until 3-0 down in 2nd half) but Tavistock missing 4/5 key players - but can’t agree with ‘matching in midfield’. Falmouth are really exciting and a great watch (love the CF), fast football - but we’re undone as they had no-one in the middle of the park who could control the game. Tavistock’s two central midfielders decided when to break play up / speed it up or slow it down - Falmouth had no ‘plan B’ and for me that was the difference. Other than Falmouth’s bench did not improve the squad - would hate to quote an England rugby manager - but they had no ‘finishers’. Also thought the two wide player and the lad who got his hat trick looked out of their depth for Tavistock (not fair for someone who scored 3 goals - two tap ins, I know - but was poor when out wide and can’t see Tavistock starting them in a proper game - at the moment - you can see loads of raw talent there but a bit or coaching needed first) It’s only a PSF and nothing matters - Falmouth will do very well and Tavistock are now my ‘adopted’ team - with players out, they looked good. Their new assistant coach has loads of CV, which must be good for a team with apparently limited budget but aspirations. All only my views and having read comments on here will be berated for them but I actually enjoyed the game (£8 for a PSF was a bit much) The Town Man, Town Fan, CRD and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkway had 4 of these on Saturday and, from what I gather, the majority of Bideford's side versus Axminster last night was only known as "Mr Trialist." Not sure why they do this (are some of these players that are committed/signed elsewhere, and are just seeing if the grass is greener), but most informed people know who they are anyway. In my humble opinion, it reduces the match to the status of a trial game, and is it right to charge full price for this? Especially if it isn't high profile or higher league opposition.

As for the price of pre season games isn’t this where clubs look to fill the coffers towards players fees for next season. parkway had over 2000 there paying £10 pound 0dd , the bar was full even the beer tent sold out.

Very good day for the club Yes, appreciate that this is the case with something like Parkway v Argyle. It was advertised as a festival of football, and is indeed very good for the club's coffers and profile. Hopefully Torpoint reap some rewards when Lee Hobbs and team make the trip across the Tamar on Saturday. Some of the other friendlies, not so sure. There don't appear to be any league clubs sending teams down here for pre season workouts this summer. Guess that with pandemic travel restrictions lifted, they're all heading to Europe for their training camps and friendlies. Regarding the trialists, cannot understand why they aren't just named in the line up. It seems quite common knowledge who they were (the trial goalie was Jake Mead-Crebbin, who I believe played for Callington and Argyle's Devon League FITC side last season). sportsman10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Yes I can never understand that either. I believe the guy from Ukraine only met the team that day so I guess it’s easier to put down trialist . I believe Louis Rooney was still attached to Truro so I wonder if this is a way so players can play with out technical having any affiliation with the team.
