Dave Deacon Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Roseland have withdrawn from the Bodmin Trophies Duchy League Premier Division. Don't know why, perhaps someone can let us all know please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Sixes Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just speculation. Lack of players?? - I saw some of the Roseland players at the Junior Cup final and there was talk of them moving onto a new club. They knocked us out of the Junior Cup last season and seemed to have a very good squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Follower Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I suspect that you are correct Dan. The Duchy League website has Roseland in its constitution of leagues but also refers to "the demise of Roseland" and change of fixtures as a result.

chairman Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Whatever the reasons, it is a great shame to hear of another club folding at a time the Govt.is supposed to be encouraging more sporting activity by us peasants. Maybe some of the millions lavished on the elite,pampered Gold winning "Heroes" should actually be channelled down to where it really is needed.

Dave Deacon Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 So what are you suggesting - that there isn't enough schemes available via the FA, the County FA etc for clubs to make a go of things? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmanaldo Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Apparently most of their players left in order to play for Probus - that's what I've heard anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 It costs so much to run a club, I suspect a lot of players who just turn up and play actually have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidgeon Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 The problem is with layer loyalty,.... too many players just jump around clubs. Look at St Austell this year..... even Godolphin are a team made up of ex St Columb Minor players. It just happens. Shame to see another club folding.

Guest Postie Pidge Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 What about the other amalgamated sides Veryan and (possibly not) Tregony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mike Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 veryan and tregony were the other teams that formed the roseland team veryan had been around since the early 90's i believe before amalgamation started my adult football career down there aged 14 tregony had alweays had a team for years and were quite high up the duchy league at one stage with probus moving to senior football in the late 90's a lot of people including myself moved there to further there prospects and all the clubs slowly started getting less and less players thats why the roseland team was started shame to see a club who were in the area final of the junior cup l;ast season folding!

Pablo Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I don't understand this. It doesn't make sense. The standard of football in Cornwall is so much higher than it is here in Sussex. I watched a game yesterday in the West Sussex League. The players were absolutely knackered at half time. The score was 5 - 0 at half-time and it was 5 - 0 at full time. It was rubbish. I could have played in this game easily. I'm well over fifty. It was a friendly but these blokes play at a level of Southwest Peninsular div' one. I don't understand why so many clubs, at least in the north of the county, go to the wall. I attended a game in Lancashire a couple of weeks ago, for the Non League Paper and the standard was different again. Truro City would struggle at Northwest Counties Premier. It just doesn't make sense for a club like Roseland to fold when they are in fact at a very reasonable level of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooner Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I believe that last season there were allegations made by a committee member of Roseland to the Duchy league that a number of Roseland players played for another club on a few occasions when they did not have a game (under assumed names presumably) This I believe could not be proved but it looks as though a falling out at the club may have contributed to their demise. It is a shame that it has come to this conclusion which will undoubtably mean that youngsters in the area will have to travel if they want to play football.

Guest leg end Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 reason why roseland folded is we were let down by about 6 players with 2 weeks to start of season.they signed for probus,who they slagged of constantly last year.sure they will all fallout again,and have no club to play for then.no player loyalty is the problem.
