Foul Throw 3 Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Can you move one @JonColenzo? Plenty of time to get the request in to Lanson and approved if all agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I think the county has suggested anyone who would like to change has the option to do so but has asked them to do so within seven days of the original draw. Can't be more flexible than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it also "releases" the opportunity for new sides to play in the cup next season? The likes of a St Day, Porthleven, etc, whoever is promoted from Step 7.

Would be great to see those sides in the Senior Cup, but why should they be instead of any step 4 (and above) sides and not as well as? Seems the Cornish FA are missing a trick, and not best using what they have, by not having all the top tier clubs in their blue riband competition. Surely it would only be enhanced by the likes of Mousehole playing an away tie at Gala Parc against Porthleven (for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the next couple of years you could lose a few of the biggest clubs in the county for the county's marquee competition. If the Cornish FA are reading this and want to pay me an equivalent salary so I can quit my day job to join their debate team I'd be willing to listen... 🤣 Ian Pethick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I don’t get the the Cornwall senior cup only being open to certain teams surly just let all Cornish teams enter regardless of level bit like fa cup. . Imagine one of the smaller sides get to visit Truro etc when they return or a Falmouth v Truro evening cup game. Surly would draw massive crowds.

I think the fact that the lower level teams took the stance that they didn't stand a chance was why the change came about after all the 'Senior' clubs had the chance to vote on the proposed change!

It’s one that just sticks out but wouldn’t have been the only one. I just remember thinking from our point of view, its a bit of a wasted afternoon when the match is less competitive then a game in training! and from their point of view, nothing would have been enjoyable or memorable about that day for them.

Can now see why you sounded a bit down and distracted during the end of your time at Bodmin. Sure I join everybody on this forum Dane in sending our best wishes, and hoping you're back on peak form soon. mattelot, Dave Deacon and The Town Man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
