top three - dark horse

[slowcoach]

Sileby may have certain advantages as you say now, but there is always flies in the ointment
having watch them from the days of tricky dickie

Still think Eynesbury will stroll it. They have kept their squad and added to it.

The usual suspects will be up there and i will be shocked if Joe does not put something together that challenges. A fantastic manager, nearly as good as me

Good luck Joe

I will also be shocked if Sileby do not put something together that is decent. Pettsy another top notch manager and now has Tad working with him, that looks a very interesting match up. As long as they do not let have Knowelsy have much of a say i am sure they will do very well

I personally still believe that UCL DIV1 is a league where players should only earn expenses and no more, so to hear of money and commercial men coming into clubs is a slight concern.

I believe that clubs like Sileby, Thrapston and Whitworths can do without incentives and do it the old fashioned way. However, i do realise that this is becoming harder every year to do and i understand why clubs get roped into a little..

I just think it takes the fun out of it a bit but hey ho..

Good luck to all the local clubs round my way including Rothwell U18s last season who will be a decent young side in Division One this year..

I hope Whitworths, Thrapston and Burton all have more productive seasons points wise this year. The talent in the area is good

like saying they have entered FA cup and vase!!!!

Perhaps after spending all that money on the improvements they can't afford the fees, or they may have even forgot to fill in the paperwork

Commercial Manager at Sileby reports to the Owner/Committee and there is zero budget allocated to players. Any revenue will go towards facilities, development and equipment until the club decides they are at a standard good enough to begin spending surplus commercial revenue on players. And that's not this season I can assure you.

BPW - I've gotta concentrate my energy on getting fit enough and good enough for a shirt and that's hard enough!!

How sweet!

What will happen should eynesbury be in the top three come the end of the season? As i understand it they are opting to stay in Div 1, is that correct?

[snowman]

I thought teams had until Nov / Dec time to apply for promotion?? Anyone verify? Surely Eynesbury (who will be one of the favourites) will and can go up??
