embarassing

[Eastside Urchin]

Well done on the ESL for getting this mighty club mauritius into the league

[Natter]

Yeah I saw that and thought that it might be a misunderstanding.

"How many d'yer get?" 3

"What was the score?" 3-0 to Beaumont

 

They gotta start somewhere

I look at these new teams comeing into the ESL all ground sharing with other clubs and it just proves to me and a lot other people that Stambridge should be back to were they belong playing in the ESL. or we could grondshare with HULLBRIDGE OR SOUTHEND MANOR OR STANSTED OOPS! I forgot they dont meet eesex FA grond gradeing criteria at level 5

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

It seems strange that the ESL is becoming increasingly more East London based, when there are teams actually in Essex such as FC Clacton and Harwich & Parkeston, who have to travel greater distances in the ECL.

 

Surely ESL fans would prefer days out at Clacton or otherwise, than several journeys into Greater London.

[garymo]

Perhaps we should rename the ESL the cockney league.

there is no need to ground share with hullbridge or S.manor...you have your own ground Gary.get the grading and win the intermediate div 1.elementary Watson i forgot one thing...you are in div 2

[garymo]

JP how are you me old china plate.

[garymo]

put us in the ESL AND WE WOULD GET THE PLAYERS NO PROBS THERE

[JP21]

I am very robin hood cheers Gary.

[coach et 64]

no grading and no winning intermediate div 1=no promotion

and there are a lot of has been players like Jenko out there

[garymo]

I would worry about your own ground gradeing for next season because hullbridge wont meet the criteria and if div 2 comes about Stambridge will be meeting up with you.

If I may get back on topic for a moment. How do Mauritius expect to survive?

 

No fans means no gate money (No sh!t Sherlock I hear you say), also no-one to buy raffle tickets/bus-stops etc. I don't know what their arrangement with Aveley is but were Aveley expecting any bar takings as part of the deal?

 

Even if Mauritius wotsits have a financial benefactor, they still need to self-generate funds to survive, otherwise they could be gone by Christmas.

 

Afterall, the match officials' fees alone could top £60/£70 per home game.

 

Welcome to senior football lads!!

leave in hope Gary...you contradict yourself matey...a minute ago you was saying about ground sharing with Hullbridge,S.Manor and also Stansted, that you're stating they are not up to step 5 grading bit confusing innit?

[garymo]

[garymo]

the bottom line is and that is from the horse mouth:they don't want to share with you shame but is true infortunately

[Hookey]

I understand that Gaz, but it's damaging for the ESL, which already has the fewest teams of any Step 5 level league.

 

Did you see Rob Errington's plans in todays "Non-League Today" paper? Very workable!
