CharlesYoung Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 None of us Helston players have been informed of this?. If its a case that Penzance can't raise a team then that's very embarrassing and they should do all they can to find the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le boss Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 None of us Helston players have been informed of this? Is it a wind up? If so its very disrespectful towards Dave Gardner and his family. If its a case that Penzance can't raise a team then that's very embarrassing and they should do all they can to find the players Dont think CTB is a wind up merchant Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 No wind up - it would appear neither managers nor players available! Summer jobs plus Olympics didn't help either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le boss Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 No wind up - it would appear neither managers nor players available! Summer jobs plus Olympics didn't help either! What for both sides or just Penzance? How many from Penzance are in the Olympics - don't think Liam Eddy made the syncro swimming team this year!!

Follower Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Summer Jobs and Olympics! haha heard it all now. A senior club with TWO senior teams cant raise 11/12 players!!?? For a charity tournament! That is shocking, and they only decide this on the day of the tournament!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marching on together Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What a shambles. The once proud Penzance club can not now raise 11 players. Embarrasing is an understatement!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Having failed to fulfill a fixture at the end of last season and now this it has to be said that things look potentially pretty bleak. Hopefully they wont go the way of Dartmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Who's at blame here? Penzance ? Or there new managers? Its the managers job to sign players and attract players to the football club, they clearly not signed enough players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIGURE OF 8 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Be nice if someone from Penzance came on and explained. Seems like a very poor excuse as already echo'd on here . . . . . However, it can happen. Dobwalls had to cancel one last season due to lack of numbers and miscalculation by Paul & I and when there is no 2nd team to plug the gaps it is difficult to draft in from elsewhere. And only last week Liskeard cancelled their friendly with Callington at short notice and that was with squad of 16 available!! I'm sure a simple explaination is just around the corner . . . . .

le boss Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Apparently they only had 6 players of Peninsula standard - surely they could have found a few ringers to step in - seems they have lost sight of the real reason why the tournament goes ahead - to raise money in memory of a man who would have played in flip flops rather than a match be cancelled. I am sure Helston would not have minded playing a get together of the side. Perhaps the new management of Penzance should be shown some of the paper cutttings etc to see the type of man Dave was. Ultimately it is the very deserving cause that has suffered and that is much bigger than any football match!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Penzance AFC Facebook page yesterday quoted holidays and unavailability etc. However, it also stated that they are awaiting to see if the game can be played at a later date. I doubt very much if the Club will have wanted to call the game off, they are a generous and highly respected club. From a supporters view, would you pay to watch a sham side get slaughtered, or two evenly matched sides battle it out ?. Perhaps a bigger crowd at a later date will bring in a bigger amount for charity. It all boils down to the fact, that we have far too many 'Senior' sides in Cornwall and not enough 'quality' players to go around. Anyway, good luck to John Mead and the other hard working folk down at PZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one tournament where the trophy is totally irrelevant. Maybe the answer is not to invite Penzance any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Perhaps scheduling it against the Olympics opening ceremony meant that neither set of players had a real appetite for the game...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be referring to Helston as not having a real appetite for the game as all but 2 of the named squad trained on Friday after the cancellation of the game.

Guest Monty Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I realy dont think this is the time and place to slate a club like Penzance, Like they have said in a statement all of there first team fromlast season have let and they are finding it hard to recruit, They have quality coaches and the Club is second to none, But really having a friendly on a Friday night was never a good idea in the first place whether it was in a tournement or not.

But this tournament has been running for several years and this seasons has been arranged for quite a few months so someone at the club knew it was coming up. Obviously the reason for the tournament has been lost on a lot of people sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monty Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 And i think that should be enough of an embarrasment for the club. Just dont think its right to slate a great club like Penzance who are clearly having recruitment problems by fellow cornish people invovled with football, We should be supporting them. I just thought it was a wrong night to have a fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
