Father Ted Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Beat FC Britannia 6-2 in the league cup quarters, now into our second semi-final. Exciting times!
Uncle Albert Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Beat Stanny 3-2 away last Sunday, depleted side as well, no strikers and they had their usual lot out so to come away from that is by far the result of the Season for us, got us right back in the title race. Sileby Athletic on Sunday now. two League games left thats it.
David Guiza Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 Anybody know anything about Spartans FC in the Charnwood League? Got them in a semi-final this Sunday (weather permitting, again)
Sparky Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 Yeh we(Gaunt) played them in the league cup and beat them 4-2 but they put in a spirited effort and far better that a few sides we've played in Div 1 this season
David Guiza Posted 28 January 2014 Posted 28 January 2014 Cheers for the information Sparky. Sounds as though it will be a tough game.
Manwell Pablo Posted 30 June 2014 Posted 30 June 2014 Don't suppose anyone is (or indeed, knows) a decent Goal Keeper looking for a team?
RonnieTodger Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Looks as if mine (AFC Bees Knees) and my mate's (FC Tumar) will be in the same league next year. Brilliant.
Grandad. Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Seems the Charnwood League is again on its arse going into the new season. No Compass.
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Seems the Charnwood League is again on its arse going into the new season. No Compass. Why?
Grandad. Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Why? Gaz their manager has been doing it for 6 years and has a young family, can't commit to it now and is sick of the stress and hassle at chasing people to play every Sunday, can see why, so unless they found someone to take over last Sunday they were folding. Still had no League affiliation yet.. Interested to see what they do with the leagues.

Grandad. Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 *Scrambles for phone in attempt to sign Compass players quickly. Haha! From the sounds of it mate, a lot aren't arsed.
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 Haha! From the sounds of it mate, a lot aren't arsed. Hardly surprising they aint the youngest bunch (or weren't when I last played against them) We have contacts in the Whitwick football scene though (well, we have Simo) so it's worth a go.

Manwell Pablo Posted 1 July 2014 Posted 1 July 2014 I'd be getting into Danny Chapman! Burton Div 2 I'm sure any of them will do a job to be honest.
Father Ted Posted 2 July 2014 Posted 2 July 2014 Seems the Charnwood League is again on its arse going into the new season. No Compass. Plus 4/5 have left to Alliance having had a quick scroll through the Alliance forum the other day. Last I'd heard was the Charnwood was merging with Leicester Sunday League but that seems to have fell flat on it's arse.

Seems Prem teams are dropping down to the Division 1 and there will be only 3 Leagues. County Cup was and still is the only thing worth winning.
Father Ted Posted 3 July 2014 Posted 3 July 2014 Yeah did fall through mate. Seems Prem teams are dropping down to the Division 1 and there will be only 3 Leagues. County Cup was and still is the only thing worth winning. I'm not surprised in all honesty. From what I've heard CSL is awfully ran. I play for a club in the LSL and in comparison to the Alliance League it's not competitive at all. Divisions of 8 teams, playing more cup matches than league matches (some of which are totally pointless) only to eventually lose to Creation Builders at some stage. They had an 'invitation trophy' to invite clubs who's season finished early or hadn't done well in cup competitions for a crack at Holmes Park... they invited Creation Builders (and they actually got turned over by a team in our division somehow though, seems like they lost interest towards the end). I can see it just getting worse for both LSL and CSL this season.
Grandad. Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 It will get worse mate, but like I said it's all about the County Cup. I don't see the Alliance Prem as a competitive League, the CSL Prem League is probably more competitive in a weird way.
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 It will get worse mate, but like I said it's all about the County Cup. I don't see the Alliance Prem as a competitive League, the CSL Prem League is probably more competitive in a weird way. Not quite what it used to be. Still not bad though Why the CSFL and LSL don't merge I don't know......putting the other obvious problems with both to one side the biggest problem with both is the lack of teams, at any 11 a side level of football you want to be playing 18 league games a season minimum, 14 is just a joke, I'd expect that from a five a side league. The CSFL bought this upon themselves a long time ago though, unfortunately. Their management committee can be arrogant, inflexible, incompetent. stuck in their ways and up their own arse. The fact they had to take their own internet forum down as people weren't sticking to their nazi like rules i.e you can't say anything bad about the league or it's decisions or we'll haul you up in front of the committee and fine you says it all. I was actually threatened with liable once by one of them, ridiculous . Their biggest failing however, and it's something they may finally have twigged that they need to do something about this season, is their constitution of divisions which has always been nothing short of a bad joke in my eyes. They were directly responsible for causing Swannington to fold by promoting them to their Premeir Division from Division 2, everyone knows there is a huge jump from 1 to 2 never mind 2 to Prem, and this is a Premeir Division which by their own making was impenetrable to any side coming into it due to the fact that they'd shrunk it down to 6/7 other teams including Stamford Compass Wymeswold and Quorn Royals. What they should of done, a long time ago, is dropped a division and have 13 teams in every league, including the Prem, so the lesser teams wouldn't get tonked by one of the best teams in the county every week. Also, why on earth FC Charnwood, a team that could easily compete in the Prem, were only promoted to two instead of at least one in 13/14 after battering 3 and not even drawing a single game is absolutely beyond me, low and behold they pissed two this year again without even drawing a game and not having to play their final two fixtures. Teams with considerable worse records than that (Keys the season before them for example) have been promoted two leagues, why on earth weren't they. I'm sure a cynic might suggest it has something to do with their connections to the league committee. Burton (where we've moved to) had 3 teams drop out of it's Prem this season as well as well as a number of teams from Division one, in their restructure this season they've actually shrunk Division 2,3,4 by one or two teams and promoted 5/4 teams from 3,2, and 1 and kept up the two teams who struggled in the Prem last year to make a 12 team Prem division but with half of Division one in it, problem solved, a balanced division most people will enjoy.
SystonFox Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Alliance league Leicester constitutions revealed today. Time for a new 2014/15 thread?
