Major Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 It is with great pleasure that I can announce that Alan Carey has accepted the job as 1st Team Manager at Falmouth Town AFC with immediate effect. We regard this as a major signing for the club and look forward to working closely with Alan for many seasons to come. We are now moving into 2009 with real optimism for the future both on and off the field and look forward to seeing everyone at Bickland park for the rest of the season! A Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone from all at Falmouth Town AFC!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammers Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I said on the main discussion board yesterday that I hope that Falmouth will have a better 2009, But Boy I never dreamed that it would start as quick as that, this is great news for falmouth, Alan Carey holds a lot of respect at Town as a very fine manager, if anyone can turn Towns fortunes around it is Alan, I am sure that I speak for all of the town suporters, when I say a very warm welcome to you Alan, Hammers :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistleblower Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Why is it,someone always has to come on every thread,and start slagging off the club or clubs mentioned? Town won't be relegated,have you looked at the league table recently? Nobody has claimed Town are going to be the club they once were. Why do people have such a problem with the success the club once enjoyed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Falmouth Town were the biggest non league club west of Bristol (probably) in the two decades before I was born. It's time we stopped living in the past. In the early days of the SWL, Falmouth had to seek re-election three years on the trot - coming bottom twice. That was then, this is now!

Guest Uncle Albert Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think it's a fair bet that Bodmin Town will be receiving a seven days' notice of approach from Falmouth Town for central defender Sean Flynn. Flynn hasnt been back to Bodmin since his suspension after two red cards, but did recently turn out for Mr Carey at Mullion. I'm sure Flynn wont want to stop playing just yet, so Carey and Flynn could well be reunited at Bickland Park soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Does this mean the club has changed its local player policy ? No disrespect to Alan Carey but from what I have seen he always manages to sign the best players available regardless of where they come from. I for one am happy with that as I just want to watch good football week in week out, whether local players or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Bowk's decision to leave the club-you'll have to ask him why.We've never stopped a manager from signing any player,quite the opposite.Player selection has always been left to the manager-we don't interfere with his choices. We've been short of players from moment Andy and several players departed from the club in early December.The second teamers that stepped up to the mark have played really well and along with the remaining 1st team have showed great loyalty and commitment to the club. Alan is strengthening the squad with his own selection.It's time to move on!! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Bring in the big names as mentioned above and it will only be a matter of time before you will be right back where you are now. Carey leaves, and takes them with him. FT needs a young manager who can attract youth of to-day and turn them into stars of the future, not entice the money grabbers who don,t have an ounce of loyalty in their bodies. Lets see if the Falmouth Town comittee sticks with the players that stayed with you when the chips were down (I dont think so!) Good Luck to the lads who have played their hearts out in the last couple of games when others walked away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 What Falmouth Town need, as with a lot of local clubs at present, is not sucsess on the pitch but stability. What does winning the league get you. A few quid and a lot of derision if you don't do for promotion (which is out of nearly every club's financial means anyway). I perdict that football in Cornwall, over the next few years, to become very insular with no clubs going for the big jump to Western League Premier. A Devon team may try if they consistently win the SWPL Premier and build up a strong fan base, have a solid set of club officers and most of all have the finacial backing to afford the jump. There will other local clubs like Goonhavern unfortunately as I personaly think that there are too many smaller clubs at Step 8 and below and a few will either have to drop down a league or replace their reserve teams. Most of the teams in the Cornish Junior leagues survive by charging subs and expecting lads to transport themselves to matches with no travelling allowances, but with the credit crunch expected to bite deeper there will not be the spare cash floating around in peoples pockets. What is the first thing people give up when money is tight, pleasure. They don't buy the Sunday paper, go out so much, cut down on luxuries, etc. For a lot of young lads football on a saturday will become a luxury and clubs that have 3 or 4 mens teams will have to find that they will have to drop one of those teams due to lack of players. When the Mining and Fal/Helston leagues amalgamate it will be an ideal oppurtunity to streamline football in West Cornwall with clubs dropping their 3rd or 4th teams to survive. Can the Duchy League really survive with 5 divisions? As I originally posted we need to calm down about management changes at clubs and give them time to find their feet in the current economic crisis. All clubs must tighten their belts or they won't survive. There is no point going bust trying to attain a league title unless you really want and can afford promotion or it makes a mockery of the league system.
