Suburban League 2011-12

[NICE GUY]

Banstead were originally listed as a Premier B side in the proposed constitution but they withdrew and I don't think they're having a reserve team this season now. Leaves the ground open for a groundshare and there is a club not far from there in the Surrey Elite looking for a groundshare at a CCL ground for next season and beyond.

The details are on Twitter. All just enquiries at the moment and it may not happen but you never know.

 

 

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE MATTER OF EPSOM EAGLES REARS ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. IT COULD WELL BE A RUMOUR BUT I SAW BANSTEAD RESERVES A FEW TIMES LAST SEASON AND THEY ARE A VERY QUICK AND TOGTHER TEAM, THIS COMES FROM PLAYING FOR EPSOM EAGLES YOUTH AND THEN WENT UNDER THE BANNER OF BANSTEAD RESERVES. I STAND CORRECTED, BUT I DON'T THINK ANY RESERVES ACTUALLY PLAYED FOR BANSTEAD 1ST TEAM 'COS IN MY OPINION A FEW COULD WELL HAVE, SOME FRICTION BETWEEN THE 2 TEAMS PERHAPS ?.

 

I AM NOT TOO SURE IF THERE WAS ANY ANIMOSITY BETWEEN BANSTEAD AND EPSOM EAGLES WHICH MAYBE THE REASON THE RESERVES HAVE FOLDED OR PLAYING ELSEWHERE. WHAT A SHAME 'COS THEY HAD SOME GOOD PLAYERS AND WELL WORTHY OF WINNING THE LEAGUE LAST SEASON.

 

AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF EPSOM EAGLES AT BANSTEAD, A RUMOUR HAD IT THAT IF ESPSOM EAGLES BROUGHT THE LEASE/LAND THE 1ST TEAM WOULD CHANGE THEIR NAME TO EPSOM UTD ( OR THE LIKE) ? THIS HAS BEEN ON THE BOIL FOR SOME TIME, CAN ANYONE BRIEF US WITH AN UPDATE AND WHY BANSTEAD RELINQUISHED THEIR RESERVES ?

 

EL GAFFER CAN YOU HELP SOLVE THIS MYSTERY ?

 

No real mystery. I understand last season's Reserve Team Manager decided to step down after not being offered the 1st Team Manager's job for the coming season. From that decision, I decided against running a Reserve team for the season ahead so we pulled them out the league. I don't believe the 2 sides were run in conjunction with each other last season and from my understanding that is down to the Reserves wanting to be a 'seperate' team in their 1st year of the Suburban. Depending on how the coming season goes, we may reintroduce a Reserve side next season.

 

As for the naming question, I haven't got a clue!

 

THANKS EL GAFFER FOR YOUR PROMPT REPLY.

 

EG CAN YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TELL ME WHERE THE EPSOM EAGLES/BANSTEAD RESERVES HAVE GONE ? ARE THEY STILL A TEAM IN ANOTHER LEAGUE UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME MAYBE REVERTING BACK EPSOM EAGLES ?

 

I don't believe they've gone anywhere but could be wrong. I was told that the Manager was going back to being a referee so maybe the team has disbanded

 

 

THANKS EG ! SHAME IF THOSE YOUNG LADS HAVE DISBANDED AND SPLIT UP, GOTTA FIND THE MANAGERS NUMBER.

 

SEE WEEBS NO HARM IN ASKING NICELY.............. BY THE WAY CAN I HAVE MY MACK BACK PLEASE... HA HA !!!.

Stick a side in the CCL reserve division

NG. Epsom Eagles senior side played in the Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division 1 this season (step 10) after taking a voluntary drop from the Surrey Elite League. They ended the season 7th out of 10. They lost players (to Banstead Reserves?) and I seem to remember reading their ground wasn't up to the standard required even for the Surrey Elite.

They're not the team that were making enquires via Twitter to play at Merland Rise next season though - that was Epsom Athletic who finished second in the Surrey Elite. They're looking for a groundshare or a ground of their own somewhere. They currently play at the Deckers Sports Ground in Tolworth but it seems they're looking at progressing in the future. If there are any other CCL clubs in the area who may be able to offer them a groundshare I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

Banstead's reserve team manager (who I know very well) wanted the first team job, including expenses, but he didn't get it. He has his options open for this season but will probably referee at various levels initially.
