Frolesworth Gone???

Rumours circulating that The Rabbits may move to the LSFL. Anyone know anything about this?

Wowsers. Everyone's thoughts on it?

Personally think they've acted way out of proportion, they'll go to a league with pretty much identical rules and if this happened again the exact same outcome will happen

Regardless of the rights and wrongs, we've lost a bloody good club in my opinion.

There is a comment from Stewart Walker on Facebook that I think pretty much sums up how the committee have always valued Frolesworth and how disappointed we are to lose them. Personally, (and without a committee hat on), I think this scenario was always likely to erupt - even in their club statement Frolesworth mention the potential situation of either Oadby or Star & Garter or themselves being upset by whatever decisions were made or not made. Someone was always going to be unhappy. Again strictly from my own personal point of view, I think if Oadby were 1-0 up on 75 minutes and playing against 8 men and about to take a penalty, there was no sense whatsoever in replaying the game or not allowing the result to stand - especially if - as their opponents had walked off the pitch, there would have been no guarantee you could ever get it replayed anyway. This was yet another game this season that the league had no control over, but had to step in and clear up the mess. I think it is also worth mentioning that the FA upheld the league's original decision - so clearly this is vindication that the league probably got it right? But those outcomes are largely academic - it is simply a great shame that Frolesworth have decided on their course of action - I think we'd all agree on that. I always found them a very well run club and a good set of lads.

Will be a massive loss in the prem as they could compete with the best.
And a good set of lads as well all we can do is wish them the best in thier
new adventure.

If I was involved with the committee at the Alliance League, I would get together with Jordan at Frolesworth (if the inclination is there) and have a face to face meeting and resolve the issue. I am sure (if it's not too late) that this could be resolved and the league wouldn't lose a fantastically ran football club

Their loss to be honest, the grass isn't always greener and thy will realise that!

I have no doubt that there have been endless contacts between the League officers and Frolesworth but the League cannot ignore league rules and the County, having heard personal representations from the club, said the League was right in doing what they did.

I remember when the admin at Frolesworth was a nightmare and the league bent over backwards to help, including visits by myself. All, of course, is easily forgotten.

However, I am sure the league committee is sorry to lose them.

There are two sides to every story, and having heard both, I still feel that Frolesworth were still harshly treated. Whoever's fault that was (Alliance League / Leics FA) is by the by. Good luck to them in their new adventure. I'm sure the League will still see them in County Cup battles this season coming

and don't forget they worked a bit off a con on the league 2 seasons ago when they walked away with
div 2 everyone's ok while things are going their way

Wasn't quite the case. If you knew the full facts!!
