What do you think about the draft constitution 2012-2013?

definitely not, looking forward to some mid table football, no pressure to win, turn up hungover....and not see yours and petes ugly mugs on sunday morning!

Quite surprised by how serious people took my post earlier. The league have made the decision, you've no reason to justify it to anyone, least of all me! However, you could probably put together the weakest 15 players from the 2 clubs and they'd be good enough to compete in division 1. Obviously it's up to the league management team, though.

Was really disappointed when I saw that both teams were folding, had plenty of good matches against Throops and Gutho, coming up through the leagues, both being decent lads. Pleased to see the agreement come about that allows the players that want to, to carry on.

Who's stepping up to take charge of the team then?

Also, those players deemed not good enough and surplus to requirements, send 'em our way at Fosse, they'll do a job for us in Division 1

JimmyB - I never took your post to seriously, and my reply wasn't directed at you personally, I was just keen to put our point across, to nip any stigma in the bud. I can see how it looks on the outside looking in!

I think both clubs were reluctant folders, and I think for the league it would have been a shame for them to lose 2 well established teams. So like you say, I'm delighted that we have found a way to carry on.

In terms of the person stepping up to the mark, it's Woody who has been our left back from formation all those years ago. But he will be assisted by personal from both teams. I think Jeyes fancied it, but with the sprog popping out, it makes things very awkward.

Finally as for surplus players, we won't be letting many if any go. We have lost 3/4 through natural reasons, and that would mean we were under strength even more than we were towards the end of last year, and the Throops guys are only bringing across numbers to fi that void.

As I said in my earlier post, the Throops boys who wanted a crack at the Premium I think have gone and found places to play up there, I'm sure if you read the transfer rumours thread many names and there potential destinations maybe mentioned!

We'll go in the prem widds if you come with us

Maybe in a year or so....you test the water for us first lol

I think it could be just as hard to gain a good league position in div 1 this seasom as It would in the prem!! Foxes will run away with it followed by aylestone then you boys widds.I think we are strong on our day but at times could be inconsistant which is why I don't think we'll win the div

Yeah agree regarding Foxes, they won more games than anyone else i think last season, so they know their way to 3 points. Aylestone have all the players saying they will sign on, but you have to get them out of bed!!

We will do our usual trick, be hard to beat, nick some wins by the odd goal and i would guess finish about 5th

All the top players must be leaving! Or at least that's what we'll be lead to believe!

Should this be in the Pothunters thread?

perhaps they will be moved after discussions with the Throops manager that may be taking charge? wont hold my breathe though

Throops havent got a manager, thats why they folded..

How hard did they look for a manager Duane? I know one or two former managers who are looking to get back into the game on Sundays, who have managed at a decent standard, in fact one of them knows a lot of your lads.

Foxes will lose more games than win, this coming season.

Obviously not very hard, I put a post in the Payers Wanted section but the only offer was from Scouse, none of the players said they knew someone so gave up looking,.

What makes you say that helly? I agree they may find it more difficult as they have been promoted but I still believe they'll be up the top

Based on our 2 games against them last season, Foxes will not win the league. They will do well and adding a few players to the team they already have would make them a real threat.

I'm sure we at Fosse are favourites to prop up the table, we have a really good group of mates at the minute and aren't really looking to add to the team. Will just be hoping to cause a few upsets now and again. Hopefully we can keep hold of all our players as we have a very small squad. Although I'm sure there will be a few clubs sniffing around certain players.

Trust me Dezza.....

Anyway, have a nice holiday dezzdamoana, if you still want them when you get back, just pm me again, we can meet up at a designated place....just a big kiss will suffice my needs.

Foxes will not win the league. Look at the pothunters joining the division for your winners. If no new teams entered the division foxes would of had a chance but theres azzuri aylestone hoskins and barcabullona all ahead of foxes already plus kirby muxloe div1 will be the closest division this year no doubt unfortunately based on our two games with fosse id say they would be propping up the table

You'll have to wait till Holmes park to see us in the billy Walton lol

But I'm sure NRI and Huncote will meet in fan club before then

Who you calling pothunters capello? Not us I hope lol if we wanted to pot hunt we'd have lied and gone in a much lower division!! Yes a fair portion of our side played in the prem for highross but not all of them, and that highcross side finished something like 3rd from bottom of the prem and we will not be as good a side as them!! In all honesty I think its impossible to say who will win the league this early and even trying to tip someone is difficult, I think it will be a very close division similar to how 3 was last season and reckon it will come down to who can grind the results out!

Can't wait for the season to start now haha

We have probably met many times Pete, if only i could remember them!!

Definitely fancy seeing you boys at Holmes Park!!

Dezza - i think Capello has a point!!

When i said pothunters i dont believe i mentioned any teams, dont't be so defensive dezza
Just warming up widds imagine the bites ill be getting when they are named and shamed with my inside info . Its great that these teams have chosen to play at a lower level than they should it gives us other teams a chance to experience prem quality without being there.

Haha absolutely mate, i thought the chance to play the Advance Couriers and Prem Sports was a long way off...turns out we have better teams in div 1 now!

You mentioned us new teams directly after you mentioned pot hunters.


If it isn't us then who is it? I want to know, bloody hate pot hunters........how dare they!!!

CHOMP CHOMP!
My understanding is that the league are aware and the prem may be welcoming a new addition(s)

Right, first of all I'm on me jollys, I'm pissed and they say you tell the truth when pissed so I'm going to concentrate before I write.

I'm not one to get carried away, BUT I know my team only fancied Div 2, I'm the only person involved with NRI who wanted Div 1, reason being is I firmly believe I have a Premier squad, so Div 1 does not give me any sleepless nights, I am infact chuffed to find out we are in ONE, again, not the best time to talk or even pretend what I'm reading ha ha ha but I can't wait to have a go a DIV 1, I believe I have a team that will challenge in Div 1 and not just ve a number, my first port of call is convince them that they are as good as I KNOW they are.

Stick my pissed neck out now and say we will WIN Div 1 because I believe we can, if I can get the NRI boys thinking that they can there is no reason why we can't......

BRING IT ON, boooooooom !!!!!

hahaha....nice work Malc

So going of what malc has posted I'm assuming you have been telling porkies to us about your capabilites this season and predicting you'll finish 5th, its liars like you that make it so hard for the league to get the divisions right!! If you're good enough just go in the prem

Possibly where a mr.durrance is going too? He and Danny r mates

Hopefully an honest team with their integrity intact, like ourselves, Niffy or Kirby Muxloe will win the league. Can't see it myself, though. For me, there's no place for deceit in the beautiful game, but it does win you trophies.

Is this aimed at us ?

We are slowly building, we have not decieved anyone, the team has been added to for the past 2 years, all I was saying is my team think the double jump is too much and its my job to convince them otherwise.

We have won a couple of things soley on true grit and determination, not because we have lied, look at our results over the past 2 years, we manage to do just enough.

That is all.

Dezza, I know the players you are bringing in, will they turn up week in week out though, lol....

We've been promoted 2 divisions despite finishing 3rd !!! Very strange decision in my book.

If you're referring to the people I spoke to widds about I haven't made any attempts to chase their signature for the same reason you've just said!! Only going for players I trust to turn up!

In all seriousness I don't think anyteam going straight in at div 1 can be accused of being pot hunters as 1.its a high division 2.we are in the arthur moore with prem sides so that only really leaves billy walton which we are all in anyway or the county cup which I'm sure is difficult at this level also! N.R.I have to be admired they have worked their way up from low divisions and haven't really hammered any division, they have had to grind a lot of results out which is a quality in itself and they are where they deserve to be! Would be pointless throwing them or foxes into the prem for this season if it meant them folding for the next!! We need to let teams build upto it! Yes teams may sign players who should be playing at higher level but 3 or 4 joining a lower team doesn't guarentee anything look at leicester city as a prime example for last 2 seasons! Yes I disagree with blatant pot hunting like if we had gone into div 5 for example but I think the term "pothunter" is thrown about too easily and usually by teams who feel aggrieved that they haven't been able to sign these so called better players on!!

Fair play on malc being honest with everyone about his beliefs on his squad as were we with the committee in our interview and foxes I'm sure really do believe they can win this along with many other sides but why shouldn't they, they've earned their spot!

Just pothunters the lot of ya

Same situation as us, I think it's to cater to the fact you were so close to winning the title and would be capable of the double jump.

Think you might be exaggerating a litte with 80 goals each.

Don't think the divisions are set in stone at the minute they can still change them and i think with some of the comments made by a lot of people about a lot of other teams the league could still swap teams about if they think teams are in the wrong divisions or are pot hunting.

maybe slightly exaggerating considering the top 2 got 51 and 42 last season, so i will bring it down to 60

Good post Dezza, I can either let the players think they have no chance and then the season will pan out that way or I can try and get them to believe they are good enough to compete.

We might well finish mid table or lower but like I said I've got to try and convince them they are as good as I think they are. I'm sure every team in every Division will start the season with belief as will we.

Looking forward to it big time, for anyone who thinks we have a shed load of super stars coming as well are wrong, we have signed 2 of our reserve players who finished 6th in Division 4, I just think that they fit the mould of player we are looking for.

I've had a few teams over the years but I firmly believe that this group have the best team spirit I've ever known, that's the reason why we edge teams out and grind enough results along the way. Plus half the team have the ability to play whilst being mortalled from the night before.

I fancy Friar Lane to be the surprise package. Very bright, positive, energetic young lads with the correct attitudes and philosophy. Got A lot of respect for them and hope they have a better season than last!
