Fair play to them. Played against their Sunday side last season and think a few of them also turn out for the Saturday team, some nice lads there.

 

Always said that ground had potential, i'm sure i'll go watch them next season

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

tons of potential especially with the office developments locally.

 

personally I worry about teams/clubs moving away from their roots to progress.

 

havent predators already had a go at CCL1 level?

 

If the two do merge and SCR disappears whats it all about?

is it just a way of moving players, sponsors, committee guys etc around and up the ladder?

What of those who get left behind and the club has disappeared?

 

I dont understand it, any enlightenment out there?

Salmon went on to thank all the people who had helped make the move into level six football possible, including the ground staff at Chelsea's Cobham training ground who have donated goal posts, fencing and dug outs as SCR built up their ground to the required level.

 

That is some great help excellent re-sourcing!

Uh Oh TITsf cage has been rattled again on the Ol' merger issue

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

groundshares lead to mergers lead to takeovers lead to dead clubs.

 

survival of the fittest? or the unacceptable face of capitalist greed?

 

 

[Gussy]

capitalist greed?

 

Pls expand?

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

im questioning the driving force behind some of these groundshares and mergers.

 

In most cases its a way of getting a club further up the leagues than its original base allows.

 

Reigate priory, oldest club in surrey,original fa cup entrants, still in existence, at the sporting level they are allowed or feel comfortable with. Thats one way of doing things.

 

A few other clubs, pub/park or sunday and youth sides a few seasons back leave their home area, jump up a step or two mainly because they have been able to get a groundshare, and not always because of a promotion winning season. Is that for genuine sporting reasons, or personal individual ambition?

 

 

Personally I prefer clubs to develop their ground and playing level hand in hand.

 

[Terrence Collina]

I've heard that Farnborough are going to merge with Gretna in a last minute effort to preserve Gretna's Scottish League Status.

 

The new team will be called Gretna & Farnborough incorporating Bisley United

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

where will they play, the millenium stadium? win the welsh league next season, champions league the following. i'll sponsor them and gaffer can get a job again.

 

anyone coming on board, can we get established quicker than edgware 2009?
