sportsman10 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Was just thinking with parkway so close to going up this year will the club do it all can to keep hold of the core of players and maybe add some real quality to make that final leap and get promoted next year ? . Levi and mike landricombe would make the difference in my opinion and with Tiverton struggling this year maybe both could be persuaded and parkway make a real statement Will be interested too see parkways signings over the summer.

THE BALD ONE Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Would like to see them back at Parkway . They would be great signings. If we had them this season we would have won the league ........... I think. Not taking anything away from what the boys have done though. Great effort taking it too the last day and what an unbeaten run to catch back. So close in one cup final and a very tough but winnable one to come . Looking forward too next season already .

Ian Pethick Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Regardless of the cup final result on Monday, it's been a superb season. Areas of the squad do need an upgrade over the summer though with Lee Hobbs having targets in mind, and it is also inevitable that one or two players will leave.No doubt as well that some will attract attention from clubs higher up the pyramid. Parkway probably a year or two ahead of where they expected to be, and the other sides in the Western League will now be more familiar with players and playing style.It will be a bigger challenge again to replicate this campaign and prevent a dose of second season syndrome.

teflon123 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The current squad should be good enough judging by ££ they get. Being paid 5 times more than other squads in the league (some teams don’t even pay). Without doubt the best midfield in the league, defensively look solid enough although all their CBs look liable to a quick nippy striker, GK average at best and not so sure Carter has another season at this level and with Annear not happy with limited game time, 2 strikers are on the wanted list. That said, to finish 2nd and get to two cup finals (and win one), all in all, a successful season has probably been had. The whole setup is built for leagues above and every time I visit, I continue to be impressed. Next year, the league is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BALD ONE Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Where was Shane Krac on finals day ? Would love to see Rob Farkins as Captain next season. I had a few doubts about 2 players this year and want to say how they have done a good job. Carter and Rosenquest . I did not think they would be able to perform as well at a higher level. How wrong was I. Well done lads . I think Annear needs to be playing in a front 2 to get the best out of him. A good young potential. This has been a great season and what an addition for the younger players footballing cv's. Another big shout out to an unsung hero , the Manager always gets praise when things go well ,but Karl Curtis has had a big impact on the team too. Well done Sir.

The one criticism of him was that he couldn't perform beyond the SWPL, that has been put to bed with his goals in the Western League this past season.

According to this thread alone - you know that: - Parkway are being paid 5 times more than other squads in the league (some teams don’t even pay).

(I am interested in how many pass through the gate at home games and what the shortfall is for a league budget of £114,000 to be raised for your proposed £3k a game) (Oh and Parkway won the cup this year, so add some cup games into the mix to increase the budget) . Just in the league if 500 people actually paid £6 to get into the ground (they wouldn't) that arguably is enough to cover the home game budget. You're telling me "Senior Figures" then pay £57,000 in per year to cover players wages (league games only) then in addition pay for travel, ground maintenance, upgrading club house, and all the other stuff that goes with running a football club? All in all, you must be on the board at Parkway to know so much inside information. You know the budget, you know what players are being paid (if 4 are on £250 EACH), you know the disappointment and objectives for next season and are in the loop with the transfer targets and what they are being offered. You sir are a dreamer and to quote you one last time - maybe you are the one needing the "wake up call".

Ian Pethick Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Would be a loss to Parkway as he offered a different type of attacking threat. Change of formation to one man upfront, and the addition of Jordan Annear, meant he slipped down the pecking order. Didn't help himself though when he missed a chunk of games with two sendings off (straight red, served three match ban, another straight red in first game back, further four match ban).

teflon123 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Jordan Bastin a very clever recruit. Turned down a number of clubs (Taunton, Tivvy, Willard, Buckland and also Weymouth were sniffing around apparently) in order to sign for Parkway. One can only guess that ££ was a big part in this deal. Hobbs has told Bastin he’ll be number 1 choice so Carter (Bodmin bound), Annear (Bodmin bound) and Smith (Tavi bound) have all been told they are not guaranteed to start. Parkway also keen to add GK Shaun Hillier (currently with Saltash) to his squad. ODDBALL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Throbsaw Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Yes. Released from Argyle last year. Loaned to Callington early part of this year when their keeper was suspended. I watched 2 of his games for them and he looked a very accomplished keeper, for some reason he ended up back at Saltash. Don't know if he was dropped when Borthwick was available again or if there was an agreement for him to just play a handful of games. He also played a game for Torpoint on loan and they wanted to keep him permanently but again he ended up back at Saltash. From what I have seen, he looks a much better keeper than Ryan Rickard and Saltash would be silly to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Carter got feel annoyed being pushed out if that’s true I thought he had a decent season.
