Paul Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I think the lad who supports Torpoint who calls himself fingers said there were about 8 from Torpoint. Not a bad crowd seeing as we had the silly situation of St Austell kicking off at 11am up the road. Surly both clubs should be looking to stagger kick off times to see as many through the gate as possible. Good match. Draw was welcome as I dont think we played well at all today and Torpoint looked dangerous. The Ref had a shocker. Not against St Blazey, or against Torpoint, just awful. Players didnt no why he was giving decisions. The Ref and lino gave different decisions time after time for the same incident. Contantly talking to players when theyd hardly done anything whick resuled in the game being stop start. Cardiff 0v1 Argyle!!! :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bray Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 What a good day. St.Austell 6 Foxhole 0 Argyle win at Cardiff I understand the crowd at Poltair this morning was in the region of 350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Regarding the attendance, or rather lack of attendance, at the St Blazey v Torpoint match today, one has to say that its not exactly the usual Boxing Day classic for either side. In the not too distant past, St Blazey v St Austell and Torpoint v Millbrook would have understandably attracted more. It also has to be mentioned that Torpoint's ECPL side were home to Saltash in the morning. Perhaps this meant fewer travelled as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 St Austell kick off at 11am 264 fans St Blazey kick off at 12pm 160 fans Shocking idea to see both clubs not staggering kick offs to attract bigger crowds. Both games poorly attended even so.

DanBlazey Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 264 isn't really a great crowd considering it was a Boxing Day derby with a team from 5 miles up the road. Most of your crowds are in the 80s or 90s and this paints a truer picture. With village side, St Blazey averaging between 100 and 150, it's easy to see which side is the best supported in the local area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Yeatman Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I was impressed by the number of people in the St Blazey clubhouse after Saturday's game. Your committee should be congratulated on their planning for the day which meant one bar was full of people watching football on TV and the other with kids and families watching the children's entertainer. Given the decisions conjured up by the referee during the game (and I have to agree with the comments of Paul etc), I wonder whether he did a quick change at full time to move from outdoor stage to indoor stage Funniest moment had to be St Blazey manager screaming "ref, ref" to get his attention for what seemed like ages, only to be rebuked by the ref with a remark we couldn't hear to which the manager replied along the lines of "How can I calm down if you keep ignoring me." I know I've been criticised for criticising others before but I am convinced the referee's performance was affected by the fact that he was being assessed. It seemed that he didn't get the right balance between controlling the people and controlling the game which leads to lots of whistle, lots of lectures, disagreements with his assistants but two fair penalty shouts - one for each side - being missed. Rationally I know it can't happen, because the marking has to be confidential, but I would love to discover what the assessor made of the performance. I'm sure there would be some good points in that most of the LOAF were being applied properly but there were surely some negatives around man management and teamwork with his assistants?

Newquay and Penryn who meet the ground criteria will have to make a surge now to make the top two finish.

Tony Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Major ground improvements ongoing at St.Austell - first main phase all but finished with everything else in the pipeline I believe. It is a torturously slow process when dealing with Council etc but it's getting there thanks to the hard work of the committee (especially Darryl Stamp). Once finished Poltair should look superb and be relatively vandal proof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanBlazey Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Totally agree.

DanBlazey Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 4 or 5 Cornish clubs show genuine ambition to join the Western League, I think it will be worth it Sorry Dan, but what would be the benefit to the clubs, supporters and general followers of Cornish football? Let's just take all the ambition out of the game, shall we then Dave! It's essential at all levels of the pyramid that clubs want to progress up it - it's what keeps the game alive. Manor Farm is one example, but I know a lot of people who would be attracted by St Blazey against quality sides like Bideford or Ilfracombe and the standard of football that would be on offer. If clubs want to be ambitious, they should want to play at the highest level possible, simple as that. Personally, I would hope for a further restructuring which would favour the Cornish sides who have been geographically penalised for years now. There is no logic at all in a step 5 league stretching from Land's End to Wiltshire; It's FAR bigger than any other step 5 league's area as far as I'm aware. Why not cut off the Western League at Bristol, pushing other clubs into Wessex or Hellenic Leagues, and automatically raise some of the top SWPL step 6 sides into Western Premier based on league position and facilities. The ones who should be at step 5 anyway and are only stuck at step 6 because of geography. I could easily see a 20 team Western Premier that looks like this: St Blazey Barnstaple Bideford Ilfracombe Willand Dawlish Wellington Street Sherborne Bishop Sutton Welton Radstock Bodmin Buckland Penzance Tavistock Torpoint Falmouth Parkway Saltash Why not? Seriously, why? Before you mention about other leagues being flooded, the Hellenic League is in need of strengthening (both in terms of standard and facilities) and the three Wiltshire clubs could be easily absorbed into the Wessex League. It could be one of the best things to happen to football in Cornwall and it seems so simple to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 To complicate matters Bideford have officially applied to join the Southern League although precautionary, it is far from certain they would take up any acceptance. This follows previous Western League clubs Frome Town,Truro City, Bridgwater Town and Taunton Town who have made recent moves to the Southern League. Boxing Day gate of 750 at the Sports Ground v Barnstaple Town. Reading between the lines-It doesn't look iminent for a St.Blazey v A.F.C.St Austell SWPL 'derby' for now.
