    Never have I wanted 3 points more than yesterday - RIP Steve Potter

    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...

    Walking Football

    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.

    We need to check on Monday to see how many other clubs are piling on to use the facility.

    I am sure we can ask the Trust to look at 2 pitches for 6pm if we can guarantee 20 per session. That should be achievable over the summer months with the better weather. That will be imperative to rebuild the 50s squad. Of course anyone wishing to play competitively for the Senior Seasiders...

    Sorry guys. My fault. I had forgotten that we only had one pitch for the 6pm session. May I suggest that anyone over 50 (and can make the earlier session) gives the 4.30 slot a go (if there are any places left !) either Monday or Thursday. Still that is good as it means Brad and Dave won't...

    24 for the 6pm session would be fantastic numbers. We need to re-build our Over 50's team as some have retired and others moved into the 60s squad. We need some young blood to return to competitive ways. Nick and Neil are 59 this year as well. We have had a bit of interest on our Facebook...
