Apologies if you felt singled out - that wasn't the intention, and it is absolutely noted how much you socially supported the club and were an ever present (and also your Dad supported trememndously!) - it was however to single out maybe a dozen people who have played for years and not got involved on the organisational side.

Violence - yep, I hated it too, couldn't understand it and it put me off the game also at times. However, as Dave says, there are many of you guys still yound enough to see the transition to a Saturday team and be the embryo of what will eventually end up being a compewtitive Saturday amateur team in the not too distant future.

I also remeber Horwich St Mary's having an issue with the rough nature of the Bolton league, and they moved into the Lanc league and had a much better time of things - there are other options.

 

Open Age
Andy,

Points taken. I accept the violence in some of the games can be off putting but it's not something new and goes on to a certain extent in all forms of the game, in fact, I'd say some of the worst that I've experienced was when we had a Premier 5's team way back when. My personal feeling was that to quit because of it was to let them win, perhaps that is a foolish approach and I appreciate that it wouldn't be the choice of others.

Anyway, one of the aims of the Sunday team all those years ago was to grow it into something bigger and even though it looks like it's struggling to continue then maybe this is the time to move up to the next level. The club will soon have fantastic facilities of their own and are already one of the biggest (if not the biggest) amateur clubs in the area but they're missing one major asset, a proper open age Saturday team playing in one of the regional leagues. That team could be the focus of all the 30+ junior teams and be a flagship for the club. A team like that would surely be a more attractive proposition to the current players than Bolton Sunday League and would also make it far more appealing to new players. For me, if I was still playing Open Age, then the the thought of being part of that inaugral team, even though I'd never get in it, would be hard to resist. The current core group of players from the Sunday team could be the start of that.

I'm more than happy to help oil the wheels where necessary.

 

Open age
I wasn’t going to reply to the posts on here but as it so obviously me singled out by “Imran” I thought I had to at least defend myself. I’m sorry to see the open age not field a team this year and we have actually made efforts to get players but guess what the Bolton Sunday league isn’t the holy grail and theirs barely any interest in getting up on Sunday morning to go and have a scrap. I have brought several players down in recent years and I’ll give you an example of one…18-year-old Adam Birtwell. Pre season he attended all our training and was keen to bring down several of his friends as he really fitted in with our group and was looking forward to the social side. Anyhow in his only 2nd start he slid in for a tackle and had his chest stamped on deliberately (not even a free kick was given) and I had to take him to casualty and he spent the next 3 days off work and throughout the season similar incidents took his appetite for the game and he quit and I really don’t blame him. Despite the fact I announced last year that I would quit playing Sunday league I still did my best to recruit players for this season and as mentioned above the feedback was poor. It seems the feeling is that I owe this club something, well all I can is what a load of rubbish. I’ve played for years and given my all for the team and attended virtually every training session and every social. I don’t see why the likes of Carty, Acky etc aren’t as responsible as me for running this club. That’s no dig at them either they have simply done other things with their time very much like I would like to do. I’d also like to bring up the point that 5 years ago when the team was running really low on numbers I played a full season injured and as a result have had physio for 2 years that has been a major burden not only on my social life but my work aswell. So to summarise im deeply disappointed the team wont be putting a team out despite our best efforts (not that you’d actually believe us). All good things come to a end guys I just wished you’d show a bit more respect to the five of us who have tried carrying it on. Imran etc can carry on with their childish posts im really past the point of caring.
