Colin Pengilly Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 What about Falmouth in the Vase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 According to Phil Hiscox SWPL-Falmouth did not apply- feeling deflated Also I thought Launceston might have entered now that therir facilities are up to scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Pengilly Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi Mike Its a shame that Falmouth cant communicate with their supporters their reasons for not entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Falmouth and Newquay supporters must be very disappointed. Both have decent support away from home. Supporters look forward to visiting new grounds in the F.A comps. A big shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if it was £££(Entry Fees) I could have sponsorred that but I believe it was a hard standing issue along the top bank-but there again a club meeting with supporters might have got around that. The referee/players changing rooms have been resolved for F A Competition deflated,mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Pengilly Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Perhaps Numpty aka Mr Pascoe could explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some unknown reason, Falmouth are always reluctant to keep their supporters aware of any developments - and they wonder why there are diminishing attendances !

Nemesis Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Mount Wise Stadium does not have hard standing on all 4 sides (behind far end goal & from main stand to far end). Held 3,500 in comfort and with room to spare v Man City in 1998, but not good enough for a Vase game v Odd Down in 2016 !!! Ground improvements are one thing, and I'm all for them, but The FA are just adding to running costs year on year for village / small town clubs. Perhaps a minimum of 100 seats + another 100 covered standing, with terracing / hard standing for 1,000 is enough for clubs at Steps 5 & 6, with the toilet & catering facilities sufficient for the average of the league concerned (extra brought in if needed). Unless The FA are going to share out the Sky money amongst clubs down to Step 7, they should not be imposing financial hardships just to enter the Vase.
