Correct !!

SATW - we have played together in the dim and distant past. Also with your Jamie. Wicket keeper and opening bat (Steve H) with Peter Ellacott's team in the 90s.

So sorry to here of your sad loss. Steve was a great cricketer as well (we played together at Thornton Cleveleys and we did the Wyre Camping Trips many times with our schools). A true gentleman who did so much for sport and football in the area. Best regards to the family from everyone at...

Usually 6 or 7 a side on a small pitch with smaller sized goals.

Everyone who has taken the rise out of walking football (through ignorance) has really struggled to come to terms with the game when they have had a go. Think "chess on legs". You have to be at least 2 moves ahead of the ball you played. Stand still and you are out of the game (except us...

I understand FB. That's why the young guns need to pace themselves down otherwise guys like yourself are going to miss out on the benefits. Walking Football - it's what it says on the tin !

The runners need pulling up, Electric. I know it will make it a bit stop-start but WF is a different concept to Vets Football and the pace needs to be set early on so new players become acquainted with the rules. It also reduces injuries and allows for the less fit to compete fairly. Any Over...

Fitter faster lads need to find a fitter faster form of football. Otherwise the pure walkers will not be able to book on as they are blocking the system and we will never be able to re-build the competitive side either. It isn't rocket science.

Easy pickings R and RS !! Probably can't cope with ordinary Vets football. They need to be re-educated to the purist form of the elegant game.

Thats OK guys as long as folk don't want a full hour of activity. Had problems at the 4.30 sessions a long time ago when players were asked to wait off court.
