Quote: mmp "Is the team playing our of Thatto playing as Thatto???
Might sound a strange question but the Thatto Chair has gone to great lengths to stress that the team playing in winter is just based at their ground and not an entry by the Thatto club.'"
In answer to your question yes and i'm not sure where the second part of your comment originates from. The team is essentially a new team made up of new players and players from other summer based teams. Some have finished with their clubs and some have a couple of games left at their old clubs. As team Manager of the open age section I hav been left under no doubt that the Chair of the club from the very start said that if they are playing under the Thatto Heath Crusaders banner then they are expected to be run in the same manner as every other team at the club with a badged coach and first aider in place, paying subs in the same way as everyone else does (£10 per month by Standing Order or The full amount for the year up front). The fact that the NWCL are not recognising the Primary/Secondary registration system has hindered registrations slightly (and i'm led to believe that this system is in the process of being scraped).
Following a very stressful day for the Club Secretary this week running around sorting out transfers in time we're looking good to go for the game at Langworthy this afternoon.
