The big Questions!!!

[Paul H]

Do you feel Margate FC will ever get out of this enormous mess that its in. Will the ground ever get built?

Will we get relegated this season?

Will the side ever look settled?

 

Something else that i've noticed.

I trained at the 5 a side centre last night and noticed how small the pitches were. I was not the only one to comment on this. Only 4 of the 8 were being used even though Wednesdays are a very popular night for Sunday league teams to train. Surely the other 4 could be made into 2 larger ones thus creating a much larger training area. Minster is a fine example of a 3G pitch. Fully booked 5 nights a week and more or less paying for itself. Minster has full size goals to train with aswell as the smaller 5 a side ones. My football club are on the waiting list to use Minster but are unlikely to get on it because its so popular. They charge

[BlueGate Alan]

The answers being yes, yes, yes if we dont start scoring and yes.

 

As to the last one Paul, good points raised but maybe direct it at Generation Sports via mail?

[seasidesteve]

chatham house astropitches are also very popular with all size pitches and enough room for 3 teams to train at the same time, at 30 quid an hour good value

Agree Steve, I think Generation Sports need to look at their pricing structure.

[Paul H]

From my knowledge of local football clubs I understand that most Sunday sides use Minster, Chatham house, Jackey Bakers (God knows why) and not Margate FC's 5 a side centre.

I play in the soccer 6's at Chatham house and must say i'd rather play on Minster or Margate FC's 3G pitch but at the end of the day it's down to cost and the facility itself. In my opinion each 5 a side pitch should be no more than

[BlueGate Alan]

Spot on Paul, worth a mention to them I would have thought?

[Coffin Ender]

But this is a club that has no business acumen whatsoever. Take the Sutton programme - a glossy prog with plenty of adverts. On Tuesday they only charged

[BlueGate Alan]

Its not run by the club CE, its run by Generation Sports.

[Coffin Ender]

The club (i.e. Gary Lever) has no say in how the five-a-sides are run? That would surprise me.

1 not with the existing shareholder / board
2 see 1
3 yep
4 yes but not until next season

[Coffin Ender]

My own answers...

 

1. Only if KP gets out.

 

2. The lack of progress on the ground is almost entirely the club's fault (as anyone who witnessed the shambolic presentation of the plans for the medical centre will realise). In any case, the ailing economy will put a halt to any major work for the forseeable future. If Liverpool can't find the money for a new stadium, what hope does anyone else have? Bearing this in mind...how much would it cost to pay for a shelter at the bottom end of the ground? I'm not talking a huge covered terrace. Maybe the fans could start fundraising.

 

3. The league table does not look good at the moment. However, there really is very little to pick between top and bottom of this league (Sutton were garbage on Tuesday and they are in the play-offs!) String some results together and we've got a chance.

 

4. The reason we've been losing games is not because the team is unsettled, it's because of various players (e.g. Mullin, Quain) not being good enough.

[geoff pay]

Yep i aqgree with all that especially Mullins cocky but cant live it. Every crowd can get at him.

[BlueGate Alan]

Not on Saturday Geoff, there is a great big running track around ground so home fans won't get to close to him.

[geoff pay]

He'll still be looking over his shoulder. The trouble BGA is he thinks he's good. He always did. He makes stupid mistakes cos' he tries to act cocky but can't live it. Muarice Munden was nasty, nasty to the away crowd BUT you could not wind him up. PM thinks he's good but he can't cope with the pressure. If you flaunt it you have to live. Ali had all the front but could live it, do it and come up with the results. I do not like the Mullings type of goalkeeper. Margate are also not used to this sort of keeper. PM is a liability. He is poor.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Wont get your vote then Geoff for player of the year?

[michael]

The character thing is not a major issue for me re:mullins, but i do believe we leak a few goals bacause unfortunately,Mullins is a couple of inches shorter than the average goalkeeper;and it costs from time to time.

 

certainly, the second ramsgate goal would may well have been stoppoed by someone a bit taller, and i read of another couple of lobbed goals conceded

[Andy .]

Nej Hussain played for us when we had our friendly against Canterbury City a couple of weeks ago , he did`nt have loads to do but what he done looked impressive and professional , alot like Lee Butcher who we had on loan . A goalkeeper should be the eyes for the back 4 and should shout and give instructions when needed . PM is one with the mouth , SCS is the shot stopper , combine the two and we have the keeper we need ( Nej Hussain ) . Up the Gate .

[Porka]

Mullin is too cocky for his own good. Races off his line like a headless chicken all too often. Miskicks his clearances straight against strikers all the time, and this cost us against Staines, and we have been fortunate that it hasn't cost us in other games. The second goal at Sutton was completely his fault. I'd rather see Beresford given a chance.
