If he still lives in Bristol then he'll save a few quid (and hours) on not having to travel to Swindon once or twice a week for training, so that might make it worth his while. Big fish in a small pond might attract him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Kendal Town appeal lost, seems according to Kendal they can’t move back to North west counties due to league having 24 teams already so have to go to North East counties. If true that is ridiculous from the FA and why did they promote teams on points earned before the appeal process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts the coach they’ve hired Nick de-Long is meant to be very good. He’ll probably end up as manager at some point during the season.

Southampton women's team play(ed- not sure if they still do) at Totton though, so I wondered if there was perhaps a joint season ticket type thing going on.

Admin phantom Posted July 22 Author Admin Share Posted July 22 Brave Bath City favourite Alex Fletcher has made the heartbreaking decision to quit football. The 25-year-old’s world changed in November 2022 when the attacker was left in a coma fighting for his life after clattering into a concrete advertising hoarding whilst playing for the Romans. His family were told his injuries were so severe that he may not remember them - and he might have lost the use of his legs forever, He incredibly returned to the game last season and was hoping to fire Weston-super-Mare to National League South promotion next term. But after a summer of soul searching and following meetings with medics, he has made the tough decision to hang up his boots. In a video on Instagram, he told his followers: “The physical effects of what happened have affected my balance, my timing. I have lost of lot things that made me what I was. “Maybe that is something that is out of my control now, it’s not something I can work towards. “It’s set in stone that this is how things are going forward. I’ve got to be so grateful for what I had. I am able to live a relatively normal life. “But for me, carrying on playing football is probably a step too far. I’m really gutted about it.” His manager and Weston, Scott Bartlett, said: “I’ve spoken with Alex many times during the summer. He informed me of his decision some time ago which I know he had thought about greatly. “He is an intelligent person with a great family, who recently had a very important new addition. That is obviously the most important thing. “I have not known Alex for long in the grand scheme of things but he had made an impression on me and the rest of our club. “He is so positive and has taken everything in his stride. What he went through is common knowledge but largely incomprehensible to many. “I am sure you will all join me in thanking Alex for all his efforts in a Seagulls shirt and wishing him all the best for the future in what is sure to be a great career with the PFA.” TAKEN FROM: Fletcher Calls Time On Career After Hoarding Horror - The Vanarama National League (thenationalleague.org.uk) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
