Get your applications in guys!
April 16, 2026 at 2:28 pm #319476Would appear no one wants the job that’s the 2nd or 3rd advert for the job, and they keep moving the application date.
Either that or they’re not offering enough money for the role.
Just chuck some grass seeds on can hardly end up being any worse than the last 2 seasons efforts.April 16, 2026 at 3:27 pm #319477Anyone else find it weird they had a local league final there before the season end recently?
Thought they always tended to wait until season end to offer it up?
April 16, 2026 at 3:31 pm #319478If it involves making extra money then they’ll take it I’m sure, we need new long term investment ASAP.
April 16, 2026 at 3:33 pm #319479It’s certainly at least the second time it has been advertised. I really don’t understand why we don’t specify a salary range or pay rate for our backroom roles. We don’t even specify a rate for bar staff.
I wonder what preparations are being made for the pitch in the close season? Weren’t different levels of work contingent on how much funding was raised through the Unity/PD and club crowdfunders?
On the use of the pitch for a Sunday league final, it does seem odd to do it before the end of the season.
April 16, 2026 at 3:38 pm #319480I see it was a County Cup final, so a bit more than renting out to all comers.

April 16, 2026 at 3:44 pm #319481An insider tells me one of the main reasons for the re-advertising is that contractually they keep moving the goal posts.
April 16, 2026 at 3:50 pm #319482The semis were played on the 1st of March the final on 12th of April.
That was a long enough wait as it was.
Nothing to see, and in this case the club just helping out the county association, to be fair nice to be asked with the state it’s been in.April 16, 2026 at 3:57 pm #319483The semis were played on the 1st of March the final on 12th of April.

Local league matches always had to wait until season end years ago and eventually didn’t they price themselves out of using it for local league and also that local marathon that was held there at season end?
Something maybe has changed (£££?) – or maybe I’ve missed it in previous recent seasons or maybe local teams haven’t reached the county cup finals?
April 16, 2026 at 5:07 pm #319484Last season the same final was played on our ground in-between our home playoff games.
Still nothing to see.
If you think something is untoward ask your insider SS.
April 16, 2026 at 5:14 pm #319485I’d prefer them to play on the sandpit – gives us more time to let the pitch bed in. Last thing I want to see is the pitch being farmed out all May/June. One dislocated knee from a pro would eat through all the income

Thanks for the update – it’s good to see we seem to have local County Cup finalists back to back.
By the way – my ‘moving the goalposts’ was another too subtle quip for you.
I’d slow down and maybe have alternate days in attack mode fella if I were you.

This is an excellent point!
April 16, 2026 at 6:15 pm #319490SS appears to be confusing subtle with pathetic, still can’t work out whether he’s Dundee or Xmas.

Whilst there are definitely some words and punctuation within this sentence any meaning is tough to ascertain.
Please don’t use this sort of stuff on any cover letter should you go for the job.
