Their players budget plus their expensive GPS vests that measure heart rate etc are a massive pull for some players . At Falmouth we attract young players that want to play at the iconic Bickland park in front of the biggest and best fan base in the West, the chance to pull on that black & amber shirt and play for Cornwalls most famous and successful football club. Mousehole will probably go up this season and if they go up as champions they can at least say they have actually won something and considering their financial outlay its about time. Could it not be the fact that Mousehole have a magnificent steering committee who attract masses of sponsorship (running out of sponsorship room), Nike Academy training, development of a adjacent successful campsite, and a real desire to progress. I really don't think the lure of a GPS vest is enough to attract elite players (although Leeds United, Bolton Wanders etc) expect players from their academies to have access to full training aids. Top management, the best pitch in the league & team that attracts the best players ...should and will pay off. If we are lucky enough to gain promotion it will be a testament to the hard work put in throughout the club.

Philheybrookbay Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 8 hours ago, Way Of The Park said: Does the county or national FA offer any sort of training or mentoring for club secretaries? Would seem a very useful thing to do. Let’s be honest. When I took over from Colin at Saltash United I had to learn the job from him. Match days are relevantly simple, but you have to on the ball for suspensions, and the appeals process for yellow and reds can be long and problematic. But the rules are off the scale. Team sheet wrong and you run the risk of a fine. Then you have to input on fulltime by a certain time- another fine. Then remember the cups all have different rules including when you can sign on, different subs (ahem) play players after a certain date (ahem again). The minute something goes wrong - you have social media/forums jumping on your throat. And that’s when you’re already feeling pretty s***y To be fair to Phil Hiscox who has mentioned this on his podcast- there’s a lack of volunteers. But because of events this week who on earth is going to be Sec when you’re hauled over the coals by the officials, battered by internet. And to be blunt- no volunteers- no club. Training? Great idea. But even today when I ask the league about a genuine question about a possible player and I get from the league Sec ‘oh I don’t know’ - blindfold sudoku seems rather easy….

Good secretary’s you mean? It’s all very well hiding behind the volunteer argument. But simply put ‘if you can’t do the job properly don’t do it at all!’ Both clubs who have been kicked out of cups this week have only have themselves to blame and in the case of Saltash it’s the second season running’ yet their man is on here making out he’s gods gift all the time. Less time on here and Twitter-more time swatting up on the rules I’d suggest. baldy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Matthews Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Years ago we had a secretary at Falmouth called Mike Rowe. We were having a good run in the Vase plus the league and cups and the games were coming thick and fast. Mike was brilliant, he’d have already lined up the next game ahead of replays etc and if it wasn’t for his sheer professionalism I doubt we’d have had the success we did. A good secretary is worth plenty of points across a season and hats off to them all. They’re called out when they’re wrong but never acknowledged when they’re right.

I've no idea (nor want to know) what each player is "on", I do know that some of the academy players get paid by their parent clubs, who are happy for them to get the best training available and a regular run out with a decent structured team. What's the fascination with £'s per game ? How much do you earn Tavi Fan ?

Jack is a great lad WOTP, he obviously thought that Mousehole offered him a better chance of promotion this season than Town and he went for it, no bitterness here though we wish him well. Luke Brabyn has moved from the wing to centre forward and he is playing out of his skin with Ollie Walker & Timmy Nixon on the wings, an awesome front 3. Town are on a journey, some will join us and some will get off but as long as Westys at the wheel we will be happy. .
