Stig Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Email County FA I'm pretty sure they'd have a picture or two, they had pictures of it on their website before now so one is bound to be in the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claret&blue Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Was there any point in making that needless remark? I'm sure St S B would prefer to play on a grass pitch but at least the 3G is better than not playing at all, after all not every club can get funding from the Eden to help with their facilities/expenses etc !

Guest st george9 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Chairman what has that got to do with the post?? As a player of st Stephens borough, you have no clue to the effort and cost that has gone into getting st stephens borough out of the lower duchy football into senior football..with clubs folding and pulling out of the divisions, at least stephens borough did all they could to gain promotion and find a pitch..playing on 3g astroturf is not ideal but the clubs that we have met this season have enjoyed the experience and facilities on offer..i know st blazey are a big name in cornish football but the small clubs need to start somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Do you really think you can tell me the cost and effort required to run a Club? I am all for helping the "underdogs" in any area of life, but introducing inferior facilities into senior leagues is not the way forward. I have no gripe about your Club's effort in achieving, just the facility, which is definitely not up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to know, as a ball-park figure, what it costs a club like St Blazey to run say two Senior sides a season? I´m sure we would all be amazed!

Eric Fish Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Come on Chairman spill the beans What does it cost to run St B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J MILLER Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Probably alot less than it did a few years ago! Artificial pitch would be a good novelty and although a certain advantage to the home side, I think the majority of players would love to have a competitive game on a different surface.

mattndfc Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 played on it when i was on tour in spain playing football. i enjoyed it and thought the surface was very good and there was no advantage for either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest st george9 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 speaking to an employee of the ccfa today, who considers it unsuitable for competitive football. chairman what way does he see it unsuitable?? i have played on pitches all over devon and cornwall and some of them are rock hard in the summer with bumps and divits everywhere,are they also classed as unsuitable?? i guess you are going keep on about this point till you see us removed from the league..maybe you and your mate from the ccfa should write to Fifa and have Englands result with russia void as the game was also played on a surface unsuitable for competitive football...i think it time you concentrate on you own club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Artificial pitches sanctioned by FIFA are subject to strict maintenance procedures and to suggest that Saltmill is anywhere near the same standard is most naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I think we have run this subject dry. I am and always will be against pitches like this but it is in use and everyone has to put up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Chenery Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Chairman - your employee friend is entitled to his opinion - as are you. I would add that we have been delighted to have had both the new Chairman of the CCFA and the President of the CCFA attend a game this season & both are happy that this is a senior pitch. Personally I would prefer a flat, even playing surface to one that slopes end to end or side to side, one where the grass is too long, one that bobbles or has divets. Time & technology do not go backwards - senior football is being played on it and the majority of teams are enjoying the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ECPL Supporter Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi Claret and Blue, suggest you get your facts right re Eden and ourselves. So what are the facts then Mr Chairman? Are you saying that St Blazey have never had any money from Eden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Why does it matter to any of you if St Blazey had money from the Eden project? Surly if they did then its good business working with the local attraction. You cant afford to turn down any help. If anyone out there has millions to give St Blazey then im sure someone would be willing to listen!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ECPL Supporter Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Na, all i was getting at, is thyat Mr Chairman told Claret & Blue to get his facts right, suggesting that St Blazey had not recieved any money from Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 St Blazey had not recieved any money from Eden Wasn´t it, or in fact, didn´t it all have to be used in ground improvements. For example - the new stand, the fence on the far side (railway track side) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Of course the county are going to say its fine How can they say any other. They would look pretty stupid if they said it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Chenery Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 ECPL - interesting remark. I'd say CCFA would look more stupid by saying it was suitable if it wasnt. They have been to the pitch, carried out an inspection and passed it as being suitable for senior football. End of debate as far as I can see. And to think I only started this topic to ask for a photo of the senior cup ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 The fact is that the League Management and a majority of clubs do not consider the facility acceptable,but were bullied into submission.The FA would have no right to enforce their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Chenery Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I take it by 'bullied' you actually mean applying the rules fairly? The criteria for promotion from the Duchy League to the ECPL clearly states than in the event of a dispute over a pitches acceptability the CCFA shall adjudicate & if the pitch is acceptable for senior cup football then the club shall be promoted. CCFA adjudicated, inspected, passed the pitch and Borough were promoted. Applying the rules - as agreed by the ECPL - cannot be classed as bullying.

Dave Deacon Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Excuse my memory .... but was it the FA or the CCFA that agreed to allowing the pitch to be used in the ECPL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Rundle Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Do you really think you can tell me the cost and effort required to run a Club? I am all for helping the "underdogs" in any area of life, but introducing inferior facilities into senior leagues is not the way forward. I have no gripe about your Club's effort in achieving, just the facility, which is definitely not up to scratch. Of the 30 or so matches I have seen this season, it was by far the best pitch. Roll on the day when there are loads more like this in non-league football (and league football too, but that hardly interests me anymore) across the country. -- Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Chenery Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dave - to answer your question - the CCFA inspected this pitch to pass it for senior football. I believe it was the FA itself who have passed this type of surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
