[QUOTE="Mumbles119, post: 866778, member: 68434"] Thank you [USER=59968]@BPM[/USER] Yes, we are definitely experiencing the difficult in between amount of player numbers for 3 sides, plus the surrounding clubs make attraction difficult. Especially with the sea to the south, and clubs all in higher leagues to the North, West and East. Completely agree about the training element too. Already seeing the impact our new coaches are having on the boys, short sharp enjoyable and challenge based training segments are really engaging everyone. But it all fits into a clear and understood game plan too. The boys are talking excitedly and have pulled some old faces back along which is great. But as you say, the real challenge will be to keep the numbers in the cold dark wet Tuesday training nights. I think talking to a core group of lads and making them an informal leadership and influencer group will be a good option. Additionally I think we may focus on ramping up the post match meals too. Because an advantage we have as a club is when players come from elsewhere, they always comment on how we forming, social and enjoyable the club group is. If we could do some proper quality grub that the boys will really look forward to and talk about, I think this would help attract people back more regularly. [/QUOTE]
