AnyFootball Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So after the 1st week, what's your opinions on sides you've seen or played? Changed opinions on top and bottom 3's? Who's the high flyers, or grafters at the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The trouble with Dorking appears to be: a) a council not too keen on helping it out uncertainty over the future of the club, due to pressure from supermarkets c) a rival club just down the road (Dorking Wanderers). d) probably not much money to go round The club, council and supermarket representatives (in my opinion) need to get together to talk about the implications for Dorking FC. If all three could work together towards a new ground being paid for by private money, then it could act as a catalyst for them. Once that gets sorted, then they can plan properly for the future and maybe a shot at the Ryman Leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Councils can be a lottery, with regards to football clubs - whilst some see them as important for social aspects and fitness (as well as fun) others see them as a hindrance and a waste of money. The council here are definitely the latter - if you are a rugby club, you get everything paid for plus a big ribbon around it. If you're a football club, you get diddly squat.

It's a private company that maintain the pitches at Eversley. This is funded by the membership fees of the Sports Association. The thinking is that we can attract players to a decent pitch, rather than paying large sums of money to players for a short term gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccl watcher Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That is how it should be!but look at knaphill with money this year!and I'm sure Matty baker isn't there for petrol money ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inbetweener Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 are there many div 1 teams that pay players am guessing frimley knaphill eversley must be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnyFootball Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think we are all fully aware of the situation at Frimley Green. Dan Simmonds would not entertain playing there if no money was involved. Include Bobby Hogg, and Dan Griffith and a wage structure starts appearing.

That would appear to be the case around Dorking. HOWEVER................. The M.V.D.C. CEO is on the move in September, to pastures new to the west, so who knows ???

Shame the councils ground maintenance team haven't looked after the pitch very well since it was signed over to them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I am not going to comment further on the above as far as Dorking is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
