Is it me or is it slowly dying
Coundon park used to have loads of games on a Sunday

Off to watch my nephew play now. I was thinking off dusting my boots off but I'll stick to running far less chance of violence
I played Saturday's and Sunday's as a youngster but in the last season I played I had a guy try to break my leg on a Sunday and a bloke stamp on my ribs on a Saturday (hope he has died a gruesome death) no sick pay at work and an operation ended it then for me aged 21.
We did that on Saturday nights plus a hell of a lot more in the rave era, but we all turned up to play on a SundaySaw a couple of bad leg breaks on Sunday mornings
I think kids now want to go out on a Saturday night and act like they play in the premier league. so many of them spend all of their wages on a bottle of vodka and walk round with it all night so they can post pictures.

Whether it was pissed, buzzing or lack of sleep because of the tail you'd just banged all night, Sunday was a brilliant mess and totally enjoyable.
Getting the shit kicked out of me when I was 16 in the men's league, then doing the same when I was 28 to some super quick 17 year old running rings around me, was all that I wanted on a Sunday.
Wife and Kids came along to ruin it lol
Lol and a couple cans of special brew ( when I played for the post office team )Y
Yeah but nowadays the kids don't want to get muddy, it ruins their "football kit selfies".
Some players would have a spliff ready for half time and then play better the second half!
Why are kids getting paid to play, unless you're in some sort of academy setup you should be paying subs to play.the chance to earn even £20 a week makes kids play Saturdays instead
There's a fair few Saturday teams that cough up dough to kids.Why are kids getting paid to play, unless you're in some sort of academy setup you should be paying subs to play.
Yeah I know a few who used to get 50 a game or their night out paid for etcThere's a fair few Saturday teams that cough up dough to kids.
I find that shocking. Kids should be playing for fun not getting paid.There's a fair few Saturday teams that cough up dough to kids.

If you ran a team why would you do that anyway? I can kind of get the Cov Utd ego trip but nobody is looking up to you if your kids team does well.

Sorry to hear that TGP.I played Saturday's and Sunday's as a youngster but in the last season I played I had a guy try to break my leg on a Sunday and a bloke stamp on my ribs on a Saturday (hope he has died a gruesome death) no sick pay at work and an operation ended it then for me aged 21.
You've totally missed my point. I can see the attraction of doing what Cov Utd are doing at a senior level - doesn't mean I agree with it but I can see why someone would do it.Cov Utd ain't the only team that pays their players.
The year they started the same division paid their players too
I would imagine 2 or 3 players getting over the division standard at United but the rest are on the division standard. And that's a fact
We're talking about kids playing in the park on a Sunday morning getting paid.Cov Utd are semi pro. Why are people surprised they pay wages? They have players on 500 quid a week there. Crazy.

I wasted what little talent I had Sunday League wise due to Saturday night drinking, Night clubs and not getting up the next morning through most of my teens and 20's.
I do regret that, but play regularly now 7-a-side at 45 and really enjoy the games and social aspect of it.
That doesn't happen, anywhere.

I can't see why someone would want to pump money into a kids side so they can get the best players and beat other kids sides.
