Hi Beachcrew,
As promised, I attended a meeting with the Southern club presidents and FT on Wednesday. As you can imagine, there is very little in the way of actual news to report to you. Like every other organisation, FT and the various clubs are just waiting to see what happens next. Whilst important issues were discussed, there is enough uncertainty out there as it is, without adding to the ifs, buts and maybes..
What I can say is that the discussion included possible restart scenarios and the financial impact this situation is having on clubs. All agreed however that while we would love to have a season this year, compared with all of the other issues people are facing, football is a pretty low priority for now at least.
That said, FT are continuing to work on what a reduced season might look like, and your committee have been tossing some ideas around about how we might get some football (even if there is no organised competition) going for our youth outside of the traditional season.
The larger clubs have significant financial concerns, but I am happy to advise that whilst money is always tight, Beachside FC lives within its means, and there is no danger of the club folding. This is due mainly to the excellent work that previous committees have done to make sure Beach is a lean mean fighting (and financially responsible...) machine.
These meetings with FT will continue weekly, and as soon as there is some legitimate news to share, you will all be the first to know.
Cheers,
Adam. ... See MoreSee Less
