Hi,
With Season 2008 approaching, will we see further growth in player numbers?
Or will the numbers drop slightly due to the after effect of the world cup taking place in 2007?
Will be interesting to see what happens anyway.
Cheers

Hey,
Just looking at previous posts and noticing we have a quite a few forum members who have played the game for many years.
This leads me to the question, does anyone know what their career stats are? Like how many (or roughly) appearances have you made with which club (both Junior and Senior), and goals you have scored.
For some reason I just have an interest in statistics, so just out of curiousity I thought I would ask. If you have no idea just have a stab.
Mine for example are:
2005-06 - Woy Woy FC - 31 appearances (3 goals)
Itd be interesting to see just how much playing experience some people would have on here.
Cheers

Ahh ok then.
So if you won the minor premiership but then bombed out in the finals without making the grand final would you then still go up?
Or in that case would the club put in a case to be promoted anyway if they wished?

Is there any promotion/relegation system in place for the mens and womens all age?
I know usually when a team wins the comp or something they usually play in the division above the following season, however is this actually something set in stone or is it just up to the club if they wish to field the team in a higher grade?

thesandman - OK fair enough but you cannot deny there are no cheating refs/linesman out there.
Any rate when I posted this I had a few beers under my belt so after reading this again I did come across as blanketing every single ref under the sun with my comment so I apologise for this. However there are some MATURE age officials out there that need a long hard look at themselves.
midfielder - Over 40 years playing the game is very impressive. Once again I didnt think my comment through before posting. After seeing what happened with my wifes team in a final last weekend with some rather 'odd' calls going against them, and one incident I witnessed between a discussion with a young linesman and fan after the game really put me off. Bit of unneccessary pressure and influence maybe?!? Hence I was venting through my comments.
In regards to winning, that is something you would have to ask the Gosford team whether winning the game was important to them or not. I dont think age would be the defining factor in determining if they would of cared about losing or not.

Must of been an unco linesman or just a cheat. Very dodgy indeed....
Did it cost them the game in the end?

You would think there would be some financial assistance though.. Like even just a little from CCF to help out. Even if it was just like 5 or 10%.
Does the Gosford club do anything additional for those teams that represent them in the C of C since they are unable to help out in monetary terms?
Actually not only Gosford, but all of the other clubs on the coast that may have a team representing them? Be interesting to see how they may be similiar or different.

Hilly your comments regarding the quality of A grade games in comparison to lower grade games is laughable. The higher the age and the higher the grading leads to an increase in intensity and hence a huge increase in the risk of injury. Sorry but this is nonsense. The key word here is 'SAFETY'. I cant see how one pitch can be classified safe to play on for one grade and not for another. Intensity has nothing to do with it. All players run, pass etc... hence all players can trip, slip fall whatever... doesnt have anything to do with intensity or quality of play.

Yeah I would also like to know why a ground would have to be considered 'A' grade playing standard safe to be played on, but ok for lower grades?
Thats a pretty ordinary attitude to have. All players safety is important no matter what the skill level. In all honesty after watching a few of these 'A' games I have seen better quality lower grade games. Some kids are only playing in the top grade because mummy or daddy pulled some strings and got them in the team afterall!
I think some people just need to get their head out of their arse and stop thinking their kid is currently playing for Manchester United or Real Madrid which entitles them to play on better quality pitches than lower grade players.
This doesnt surprise me though coming from the CCF.

Thanks for your comments.
What has sparked this question is that a couple of the clubs that I have been associated with, dont really seem to field the best A team in each age group. There are kids that are not up to that standard however because their parents have pulled some strings to get them in there, they are keeping out better players in the lower age groups.
Therefore since some of the better players are in the lower grade, they may play well and shine week in week out in a weaker competition (no disrespect intended when I say this), however dont have much of a chance to progress as selectors would not be interested in watching lower grade games for potential rep players. Please correct me if I am wrong.
This not only hurts the club competition wise, but also for the development of potential rep players in the future. Not to mention the morale and confidence issues that come associated with this playing favourites nonsense that is going on.
Thoughts?

Hi all, Now I know I may get some biased answers here, but ill ask anyway since this is an open forum. What are the best known clubs on the central coast that have a good reputation for nurturing and developing their juniors? If you had a 15 yr old that was a good player but just needed the extra coaching to further develop skills to make it to the next level (reps), which club would you send them to? Thanks

Does anyone think that there are "under the table" transactions going on when clubs attempt to lure players during the off season?
Im not directly referring to the above case but is it known to occur despite being against CCF rules?
Just curious thats all.

Yeah we are going to have on and off rain periods on Saturday so I seriously doubt Sunday games will go ahead.
So with these games being called off does that mean they are officially cancelled or are they bothering with catchup games this year?

Ahh well done My brothers team 15C's for Kincumber went down to his old club team SEU 4 - 0. He had a good game though and made some good attackings runs from the back. Also my daughters under 7's team for Kincumber lost 2 - 0. My wifes team WAA3S play tomorrow morning against Kariong. Not sure if I will go cause it is always freezing there 9am in the morning lol

Now that the rego days have passed, any news on how clubs went in signings?

The first rego day for all clubs is tomorrow 3rd Feb. Think it is too early to say a club is struggling for numbers at this stage.

Played all age for Woy Woy 2005-06.
In my first year played striker for most of the season, but after only nailing 2 goals all year (with those 2 coming in my 1st game!) I was given a crack towards the end of the season at left or right back.
Played all of 2006 at mainly right back, with the occasional run in the midfield.
