My team is Charnock Richard U16s I’ve been approached about running the youth team but not decided what I’m doing next season. 

I’d still say they need to play u17/18s next season. The Lancashire Sunday league u18s is a good standard. Depends how good your lads are. If I was anything to do with Charnock, I would want a team at that level.

Possibly part time in Spain, that’s why I’ve not committed to next season.

Think that’s the league the youth team are in. We’ve 6-7 good enough to step up I’d think. 

Is the youth alliance league not the one the ambitious u17 teams want to be in??

heard a lot of noise about that recently.

Its a big step up from most local league. A club like Charnock should be aiming for that  and looking to attract the best players from other local clubs.

I would say its perfect for a club like Charnock for a player who wants to impress.

It is , we have played Charnock as we’ve mentioned before. 
Some good teams in the league, as well as Charnock I’d single out Clitheroe and Cradley as really good teams . Atherton Coll’s too have one this season , but only played them once so hard to judge as both had lads isolating 
 

Just seen the first league announce no more league football this season, south west peninsular league.

Back today with a tournament between Liverpool, Bolton and Burnley. 

Means I'll be watching the match on my phone 🤫

Training back soon, new mini-leagues and cup arranged to replace the main league, i like it.

Bet kids are gagging for it....i know my bell end cant wait to get back to what he does best.....sent off/booked....kick off, and argue with everyone including his own team.

cant wait.

Saturday league to resume looks like 2 games a week

sunday just doing 11 aside friendly games ready for next season 

my lad resumed his trial with pne this week. gonna be tough to make an impression as he barely played in last 6 month.

Yoof started his trial at Accy Stanley last week, which was originally supposed to start in January.

TBF to them they've been doing two zoom calls per week with all the kids to keep them engaged. Very impressed with them.

One of my lads got trial at Bolton over Easter, him & his Dad massive BWFC fans so although its long shot got my fingers crossed for him.

Is it a trial for the acad or a trial for the development team ?

Reason I ask, is they sell them both as the same thing....Some lads have told clubs they are signing for Bolton on a scholarship, But what they actually have, is a place on a BTec Sports course, nothing to do with the academy at all.

Naughty that, seen loads of cat3/4 clubs do this.

One of the U16 lads at City is a Bolton lad....best kid player I have ever seen, his dad played for City...has a gym in Little lever.

Not sure how the U16 striker is doing for CIty, they paid £100k for him from Bolton in last 12-18 months.

 

City released this lad....and he has now signed 2 year papers at Leeds. He WILL be a pro baller, no doubt.

aye my lad had been doing the same. and i have to say, the setup (in terms of feedback and how they look after you) has been much better and nobend than at burnley.

No progression after that though. I would be looking at a club with clear progression.

Sad to hear your team folding. If you want to consider Charnock I’d be happy to put you in touch with the new under 18 coach when it’s announced that is, there’s a good few lads from my current under 16s wanting to continue next year so they’ll have decent spine and should be very competitive. I’m hoping my lad will get into the squad but as it’s not my call after this season he’ll just have to give it his best shot. Happy if your lad wants to train to see if it’s for him. I finish training end of May, so let me know Training Tuesdays 8-9pm

No problem. 👍

Charnock are a decent option with their reserves playing in the West Lancs Division 2. If your lad is at level in a year or two, it would be a good option in my opinion. 
 

One of the best options round here IMO.
