fifa ball

why do we need balls that must be ok by fifa, when its 20 pound a ball we had 10 last season now got 3 so we need abt 7 more. it cost to much and team cant keep paying out all the time we still have to pay for refs and pitches,so y not use balls like we have for 10 years. ie adidas nike as long as its round size five and got air in it whats the big deal.

We played someone last year and the footballs were dire. You couldn't get the balls up off the floor as they were heavy and too hard. Why do you need ten match balls? Just do like we did bud, had 3 good match balls and then 3 cheap ones for warm up.

Exactly widds 3 match balls is more than sufficient training balls can be whatever you want them to be but the whole point ois to have a guaranteed level of quality throughout the league!

we needed far more than 3 footballs for last season LKFC (granted my shoddy clearances played a part in that), guessing over the season we bought more than 10

Including training balls certainly we did however as far as matchballs went we purchased 4. And that's taken into account the pitch we played on being surrounded by thorny bloody hedges, a factor we have rectified for this year, now just to sort out your shooting!!

.....queue the comment about my Scrappy Garage og

we had about 8 decent footballs last season and everyone got popped or lost, you can buy the footballs that were used in the prem last season for less than a tenner

Some of you play on open parks, but if you play on a pitch surrounded by bushes/streams then they can get popped or lost. Hence why you need a lot of balls

oh we've got balls, believe me

Got 10 FIFA approved match balls of eBay for 35 quid should have been 130 quid, plenty of good match balls around at a good price no need to play with sports direct £2 balls which ruin a game of football.

A Nike Total 90 Tracer, which was the match ball for the prem last year, will set you back a minimum of £50 on the net, but usually priced around £70.

The "T90 strike", which I assume you are talking about (it looks similar and is under £10) is not even graded. Don't be fooled by the premier league badge on the front, it means nothing.

IMS standard Puma are around £7, 'IMS' has been confirmed as being OK for matchball use

where can i get some of those balls harrow mate, they will do for us

From the Sportsdirect 'from £6' basket in Thurmaston store, they were £7.98 although looking at the website the 'Puma Powercat' (which I bought) are showing £12 so either fortunate at the time or a case of taking your chance, no such joy with the 2x unlabelled mitres, lol, hoping for a £6 mistake but at checkout was informed £26.

Prior to the above I did find several sites that were doing from £6 upwards (although in bulk and from abroad) carrying the 'IMS' logo although unbranded

Sorry I cant be of more help

thats sound mate cheers

Thats quite a good idea hellboy, ordering at wholesale prices would save us a fortune. I should know I am a tele-salesman who deals in wholesale and manufacturers prices!

On a health kick, them evil pies are kicked to the curb. Now, just the alcohol, late night pizzas and Indians to sort!

Dennis/Gordon or someone with a better memory that me from the AGM help us out....

I think MDH have done a price, regardless of quantities for the season for Alliance teams to have the same ball that we will all be presented with at the handbook meeting 'fifa approved'

£15 is in my head but could be wrong

thats on the money mate fifteen quid for a proper ball, we have used it with no complaints so far
