Bert Posted 19 June 2011 Posted 19 June 2011 I think Leisure Leagues got it all wrong yesterday. The teams that play in the mornIng session are at a massive disadvantage waiting 4 / 5 hours for the next game. Like last year, it rained but no cover. They wouldn't let us utilise the upper tier of the pavillion. So quite a few people got wet. Only selling "fatty foods", no health option on site. Sell from fruit!! Selling beer! ..... at a football tournament ... just seems wrong to me. No shop, Leisure Leagues like creaming money out of people, surprised they missed this opportunity. How many people would have purchased new gear yesterday? .... or at least a coat to stay out of the rain!! If not them, allow someone else on site! This was a National Football Tournament and all the above requires fixing. Then we wonder why English football is in the state it's in. Is it me?!? Or does my marketing brain just take over? Agree with your post 100% mate. The venue at Cannock is miles better, I can only think that because this was 5 minutes off the motorway was why they chose it. Either that or it was the cheapest option available to them. They are all about money. £5 for parking? That's at least £3k they've made from that I'd say. Couldn't believe they were selling beer either. A few teams were out to kick you yesterday, no doubt they'd had a few. We'll see what a letter to leisure leagues does.
Sly Posted 19 June 2011 Posted 19 June 2011 I saw several examples where, if I had been the referee, I'd have sent people off. People are provides with the rules and persistent slide tackling should be a sin bin. I agree, Cannock was miles better last year.
Bakey Posted 19 June 2011 Posted 19 June 2011 That's complete bullshit!

DB11 Posted 19 June 2011 Posted 19 June 2011 Were they the England Futsul team then? No. They are a small sided team, many of which play Futsal. They entered the National Tournament independently
Sly Posted 19 June 2011 Posted 19 June 2011 Apologies Sweet as a Nut for my GK performance for Novices tonight.
Father Ted Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 ? I'm not making it up! No, I meant as in it's stupid that a team who didn't even play in a Leisure Leagues team won! Barcelona may as well just enter a team
