Re: League 3

The outdoor season was a washout last year, much more people playing in small sided games now every day of the week which are much easier to organise and not weather dependant.

Re: League 3

Sadly, participation in sport,(or lack off ), is not restricted to you people in the UK. Junior registrations across NZ in all forms of sport are trending down. I blame X box etc., and the 'instant gratification' mentality of the current generation.. and it would be remiss of me not to forget to include the French in my 'blame game' as I often do when something goes tits up....and now there's this stupid Pokemon thing as well.

Re: League 3

All it needs is 8 of the 72 teams to reject it and the plans will be scrapped

Re: League 3

we might be a bit harsh on here about modern kids but athletics and minor sports we have got better and better over the last 8 years or so thanks to the olympics. its the traditional winter sports like football that has suffered. plenty of young runners and cyclists around my neck of the woods.

true about the money its the lads and lasses in the street i,m on about. was up the moor with my dogs just after 7.30 this morning and saw about 6 younger teens running about. as for money, money and football go together like fish and chips.

Neither Smudgie nor I were 'blaming' teachers, Choirboy.
But politicians and educational bureaucrats have been instrumental in undermining activities that they determine are not fit (no pun intended) to be included on the national curriculum and packing teachers' working day with form filling and box ticking.

Re: League 3

Its good to see that AH has become a voice against the "whole game solution" in the twitter backlash. For those that use Twitter, againstleague3 is the one to follow.

It would seem that veiled threats were issued by the PL in order to approve this years EFL debacle.
