freezer Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 BBC Sport reporting he crashed into advertising hoardings, not concrete. Either way, thoughts with him, family, teammates and friends. Really hope he makes a full recovery and the club make changes so it can't happen again. If they can. As if, for example, an opposition player exerts great force on a player near the touchline at speed, then said players can travel a significant distance outside of the playing area.

Kingswood Robin Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I really do wish him all the best for a speedy recovery. I've often questioned the safety of the perimeters of football pitches. There have been quite a few of these unfortunate, sometimes tragic incidents. Maybe it's time for a re-think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe air fences or similar, like they use around Speedway tracks......although that then causes an issue for the illuminated advertising boards. Not sure what the answer is really.

I’m not quite sure what the club can do about the distance between the pitch and advertising hoardings? Short of moving all 4 stands back 10 meters? Twerton Park was built in 1909, I doubt this is the first time domes hurt themselves coming off the side of the pitch, maybe it is to the seriousness this lad has, but I don’t think the answer is rebuild every stadium.

Jasper Testimitanu Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Terrible incident, hope he pulls through! Easy to say in hindsight but health and safety reviews are needed at non-league grounds to insure player safety, easy to say but having played at Twerton and numerous non league grounds over the years it always crossed my mind as a player how easy it could be to plough uncontrollably into a concrete wall or floor next to the pitch! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted November 14, 2022 Admin Share Posted November 14, 2022 Striker Alex Fletcher was injured in the early stages of the game The family of a footballer who suffered a serious head injury during a game say he is "showing small signs of improvement". Bath City striker Alex Fletcher was admitted into intensive care on 8 November after colliding with advertising hoardings. The 23-year-old underwent emergency neurosurgery at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. He remains in critical condition in intensive care. In a statement tweeted by the football club his parents said: "Alex remains in a critical condition in intensive care but is starting to show small signs of improvement. "The care and treatment he is receiving from the doctors and nurses is beyond words, and the love, support and messages of goodwill that the whole football world has sent to Alex has been completely overwhelming. "We sincerely thank each and everyone for sending them and we pray that Alex will continue to make progress in the days ahead." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a fiesty affair. Yate have seemingly turned their season around since the awful appointment of Beale. New local management team, some new players, fans totally behind the club, good feeling back. Playing better football. 4 points from last two away games and 2 clean sheets, which is some turnaround, considering they were leaking for fun before.

Stood on the side observed the local Farmyard yoot with decked out in joggers and attempted imitation badge on the arm jackets.. On the second lap of the pitch men were seen indulging in that working class past time smoking. Three quid for a pint for Thatchers ..

More managers than Prime Ministers. How they survive is a miracle , player turnover is off the scale . New chairman now but they still keep appointing the same has beens . Go for a young manager who can actually coach rather than just bring in players who leave after 5 minutes . Actually get the local community involved rather than keep the normal closed shop .

Portishead tried hard to play football, but Odd Down had a more physical presence and I see that they won with a 96th minute goal. It was a nice friendly set up, and there were a couple of slightly older girls there who were encouraging her to go and play, so we will see.
