FA haven't announced it yet, but pretty sure they will very soon in light of what Johnson has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athywhite1958 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It's an absolute joke, the kids can go to school and do games and PE with kids from many different households (unless it's Wigan and there are only 2 households per class) yet they can't play for their team with far less of a mix and both have all the Covid measures in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do PE they are with those same children. If they play football at the weekend they're mixing with kids from from different schools. It's harsh and I feel really sorry for the kids, but it's probably the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazzyinBolton Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Speaking as treasurer of a grassroots club, if you don't need the £20 that you've paid in subs then its ideal to just let the club keep it. it'll be a load of work trying to refund everybody & that money has probably been spent anyway on securing training facilities/buying equipment & all the other things that people don't see like the cost of league & cup affiliation fees, player accident insurance, club liability insurance etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Grass roots teams say they work out your monthly cost based on the overall club costs for the year - pitch hire, referees, kits, hiring training venue etc etc, so the £20 carries on. For my daughters swimming, which is £25 a mon5, they will postpone payments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there will be enough volunteers to take it on? Each school must have a parent coach with dbs clearance? Saturdays are free...

Theoretically, mate, you're quite correct, but the bubble scenario is absolute nonsense. Johnny's in a class of 36, he mixes with 35 kids in class & for PE in the bubble, but the bubble is ostensibly approx 160+ people when you factor in the 35 sets of parents and siblings. Johnny's best mate has a sister in the year below, so add her bubble and he has an older brother at the local high school, so you need to add that bubble. Repeat that by 35 per class and chuck the staff in and it's biggest fucking bubble since that chimp Michael Jackson fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 It’s the training whats my concern my lad struggled massively last time without his coaching yes I can do things with him but it’s hard training your own so when they went back after 1st lockdown he gained weight and is still struggling to shed it, in turn was finding it hard recently in games its costly but I’m using the rule of 2 so his coach can give him 1-2-1 weather permitting on the local field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) His weight will soon shift pal, just need a decent run of games. A grass roots coach who is a volunteer is taking the piss charging for 1-2-1 sessions My lads team have now done a uturn and training going ahead now!

radcliffe white Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 He’s not a volunteer mate he runs a soccer academy so don’t mind paying out, I can do basics with him but that’s it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
