FC Romania will play in SSML Div 2 and will ground share at a Ryman ground

I see that FC Romania have applied to enter the FA Vase, aren’t the Club trying to run, sorry, sprint before they can walk:

Good luck to Southall FC for next season in the SSML, I assume that their membership ratification will just be a formality at the AGM on Saturday 16 June

I found this link about the historically beleaguered Club quite interesting:

very interesting. This is basially the mantra of the new chairman and his partners. As a club it's uniquely positioned, in a high density area, with traditions of following sport. Just because that's not usually football, doesn't mean it can't. And by developing local players, it will bring more local interest, and it should snowball a bit from there. That's the plan i guess.

 

The good thing now is there is strong commerical partners in LycaMobile, and strong support from the FA. And a very promising youth section, so all the foundations are being put in place, whereas before i beleive they were looking for a top down approach.

DomCassells - How long have you been following Southall out of interest, I didn't realise how steeped in history the Club are and that, for example, in the 1952/53 campaign they played at Highbury in the Semi Final of the then prestigious Amateur Cup against Pegasus FC in front of 30,000.

I played for them on and off for the last 3 years, as my good friend is club captain and legend Cris Barrett. Now they are up to the SSML, i am committing to them full time, and trying to help with their project, with my contacts in the game.

Do you think he would have called it a day if Southall didnt get promoted ?

 

For me he was one of Southalls best players last season.

 

Do you know who won what at the end of season awards ?

I can't speak for Cris personally, but i know that the challenge of playing in the SSML is one that excites him. Last year he had no pre-season, and the team weren't really training, and he still stood out. With a good pre-season under our belts, and with better players around, he can have another good season. By the way, what a guy to have around the dressing room. If he was on time, he's be a managers dream, lol

 

Awards were last night, i'm not sure who won what, as i was best man at my mates wedding so didn't go.

Yeah i did noticed him strolling in late'ish a few time's he wont be able to do that in the SSML 1 though. Also Southall will have to cut down on the silly verbal bookings they kept giving away last season.

 

What position do you play Dom ?

[paddywack]

Hanwell are looking strong this season bring on southall

[Rhodes]

Perhaps Southall and Hanwell Town will meet in the Challenge Trophy or one of the Middlesex County Cup competitions

That will be taken care of pre season. All players will have to sign a behaviour contract, as it cost the club literally thousands last year in fines. I play in goal. Allegedly, lol

[Rhodes]

From past experience this makes no difference whatsoever!

I thought the regular Southall keeper last season looked a good keeper think his name was Clarke Johnson.
