Is that right they’ll be no sunday league after this season, that’s mad

Really? I played Sunday league for over 20 years. It’s defo gone downhill but didn’t know it was going.

 

[Johhny Blue]

That’s sad. Two more relegations and Leicester would have been in.

Where did you hear that?

Surely it’s because there would be a large number of call-offs as many players will not be available due to the game versus Wrexham. Gives them the chance to join the end of season celebrations. Games will be made up midweek.

Most of the local teams went over to the Leamington leagues over the past year or two. Its a far nicer league.
Teams and Players have had enough of attempts to break their legs by some still pissed up cokeheads.

Yes, this is true. I was General Secretary for 13 seasons, but resigned in 2019/20. Mainly due to lack of interest/ teams folding etc. There was talk if merging with Nuneaton Sunday League but I don't know hpw that went as I'm living in Thailand now.

When I was younger there were 15 divisions
District had 2 premier divisions 5 senior and 5 intermediate. central had a further 3 divisions. So around 180 teams. Probably 2500 players. How can that disappear

Lack of respect and violence and abuse

My lads under 11s had to move from the Nuneaton and district league to Coventry last season as there wasn’t enough teams there either

Plus they get priority for away tickets.

And the weird level of faux alpha dominance from some failed players trying to portray themselves as the big man and it ending up in ligament injuries.

Think this will happen. A few cov teams mobed over to Nuneaton & Bedworth last few season. They are also attracting HInckley & District teams. Could be quite a big structue next season. But on the flip side some south Cov teams could be travelling to Barwell and the likes.

I played Sunday League for pub team for a few years in the late 90s. Fed up of getting kicked and "offered out" by blokes still reeking of booze, so packed it in and just played 5-a-side on a Sunday afternoon. In retrospect, my silver Nike R9 boots were probably a mistake.

I dread to think what it's like now.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nothing quite as funny as watching my lad (17) ref an adult county cup game and an actual senco from a local primary school verbally abuse him after the game cause they lost.

What a world we live in

Happening across the board - there are just way fewer people playing football. The rise of the streaming generation I think.

I play in a 7-a-side on a wednesday and we used to be over-subscribed every week. Now we're having to make it 5-a-side most weeks.

I think that’s right too
Also people are playing other sports than football

Probably goes hand in hand with when they started having "E-Sports" instead of calling it "being a lazy shit playing games all day"

He's on about the entire league from next season

Really wonder what's behind this?

 

[quinn1971]

not surprising, there were only 4 teams in Division 1 this season, used to be loads of teams. So sad it’s had to fold, was the best cure for a hangover, rolling out of a club at 3am and playing football 8 hours later,

 

[wingy]

Really was for some then get on it again for a Sunday session!
Oh well, progress you see!,

Too many angry losers trying to hurt opponents in Sunday League. Would much rather play a round of golf or a game of cricket/tennis and actually have an enjoyable time.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

In an already stressful world, I can understand why people would not want to spend their time off having their legs swiped by chav's

 

[CovInEssex]

It seems there may be a market for a league with strict discipline rules. Basically, don't intentionally try and hurt your opponent, no threats of violence. If you do, banned for the season.

Not sure why the last one isn’t the rule everywhere tbh. Same with kids parents attacking refs. As a society we need to be a lot quicker telling abusive dick heads they aren’t welcome. Only takes one or two to ruin it for everyone be it public sector workers, volunteers, retail workers, driving.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I think that the league itself have let things slide in respect of discipline and players who really shouldn't be playing coming back into the leagues as they were desperate not to lose teams. Its had the opposite effect and forced others elsewhere.

Fuck off
