Captain & Two Vice-Captains To Be Elected


The below is to the best of my recollection of last week’s EGM.  Let me know if I’ve misremembered anything!

At last week’s EGM it was agreed that team selection, tactics and other footballing matters should be managed by a panel of three club members.  The new set-up will work as follows:

There will be a Captain and two Vice-Captains.  They will work together to pick the team and communicate tactics etc to the rest of the squad. The Captain will have the ultimate say but he will be supported at all times by the Vice-Captains. Each of the three will have the opportunity to deliver pre-match and half-time team talks.

The panel of three will ensure that team selection is done fairly and will communicate their plans clearly and effectively with the entire squad.

As it states in the newly expanded Club Ethos (see the post immediately below this one) all members must respect the decisions of the panel of three.  If you disagree with any of their decisions etc, wait until we’re off the pitch and changed after a match, then feel free to discuss your issues with any or all of the panel.  You have nearly an entire week to chat to them face to face, or call them, text them or email them to discuss your issues.  Time’s up one hour before the kick-off of the next match – hold your tongue until we’re off the pitch and changed after the match, and so on and so on and so on!

The club has empowered the panel to immediately substitute any player who they feel is not adhering to the club’s ethos or whose conduct is undermining the team.  The panel will decide when that player be allowed back into the team and/or back on to the pitch.

You will be contacted shortly by Club Secretary Andrew Dade re: nominations and elections for the three positions.
