TRAINING TOMOROW!

training is on wednesday as usual at the university at the time of 7.30!!!

bring any kit you have as we are were short of the home kit on sunday.

Bailgate v Evolution

A home game!! I forgot what one was!!

10:45am kick off so meet at 10:00am at the home ground.

This is an important game to keep the feel-good factor around the club!!!! We need to get back to winning ways and show that last week was just a blip.

If your not in the squad this week then don't give up, there will be plenty of chance to get in to the squad in the near future and keep pushing at training and it will be noted!!

Squad:
Paul Chambers
Sean Cooper
Adam Ellmer
Marc Elvidge
Mike Hardy
Rob Hall
Andrew Hoad
Daniel Hogg
Nick Jones (turn to take kit)

Reflection on the weekend + Training

Well the less said about Sunday the better really, we have to put it behind us and look forward to getting back to the bread and butter fixtures in the league. We really have to show we want to do well in the league with a good performance on Sunday at home to Evolution. We certainly have the squad to do well and the ability but we have to get back to the basics. Communication is one of the most important attributes required to have a successful team and there wasn't enough of this on Sunday. We need to talk more as a team to clearly put a name on the ball and to help your team mates out. The use of the ball on Sunday didn't help either, we were under pressure at times and we didn't retain possession enough, if we are under the cosh then a spell of keeping the ball takes the sting out of opposition spells of pressure.

All in all we have to take Sunday as a wake up call and to make sure that we get back to doing what we have in the first 3 games.

We will have training tomorrow night 8:30pm till 9:30pm where we have a double pitch this week so we are looking for a big turn out and a chance to show that you deserve to be in the squad on Sunday. Due to the fact we have a double pitch training will cost £1.50 from now on.

Cheers,

Kev.

ROAD TRIP in October!!

Boys, me and Parky have a little road trip planned in the last week of October and would like to extend the invite to the Bailgate boys.

The plan is to basically backpack round Eastern europe for 6 days. The beer is really cheap in that part of europe!!!

The plan is to leave after the Bailgate game on Sunday 26th October flying to Vienna and returning on Saturday 1st November.

Stay 2 nights in a Hostel in Vienna before moving on to 2 nights in Budapest and then finally 2 nights in Bratislava before flying home on the Saturday in time for the next Bail game on the Sunday!!!

The cost of this trip including all flights, train journeys, hostels is £198 approximately.

We will be booking this next week so anyone interested needs to confirm by Monday 15th September!!!!!!

This is an adventure not to be missed!! We can recreate the film Road Trip although by train!!

The average price of beer over there is less than a £1!!!

Let me know if your interested ASAP.

This Weekend

Bailgate Night Out - This Saturday 6th September!!!!

Meet at our home ground from 6pm onwards where there will be a bbq for Matt Nicholson returning to the UK and we can get a few cheap drinks in before heading for town later on(but not too late)

Hopefully see you all there.

TRAINING is still on on Sunday though!! Just a light session 11am-12 at the Memorial Hall! It is important that we keep training despite not having a game!! So anyone that is out on Saturday should be at training on Sunday!!!

Game v Monks Road WMC

Game is at Lee Road, meet at the ground at 10am for a 10:45am start.

Don't be late, it's important that we are prepared and ready in time, PC that includes you!!!

It's a big game on Sunday and the first of the season, let's hope we can get our season off to a good start with all 3 points!

Team selection has been difficult and I think that we are looking really strong and have alot of strength in depth. It was a difficult decision to whittle the squad down to 14 and I feel some players will be disappointed to have missed out but there will be plenty of opportunities to force your way into the squad and stay there!!!

New Season

Well the new season starts on Sunday and I will announce my first squad for the game against Monks Road WMC soon.

This season hopefully will be a highly successful season and we will need all the squad's input for that to happen. Unfortunately I can only pick 14 players per week but if you aren't named in the squad it is important that you come and support the boys and show your backing to the team.

Everyone's time will come and it's up to you to take your chance to hold on to the starting place when you get it!!

Let's hope we have a good season boys.

Directions to Mill Lane Pitch

This is the pitch that your after, so turn on to Mill Lane off the A57 and it's signposted from there, I think the sign was Playing fields and then it's down a lane.

See you all there.

BAILGATE vs BAILGATE!!!

Awe have booked the pitch at saxilby, where we played our first friendly, text kev for more details if you are unsure where it is.

the idea is to have 11 on 11, yellows vs blues,so everyone can stake their claim for a first team place, this is whys its important that everyone makes it, so that you can get a good game under ur belt and try and impress the gaffer.

Kick off is at 6.30, and could everyone try and get there as early as possible as we have to put nets up, obviously people are working so it might be a bit of a rush, but it will definatley be worth it.

can people NOT on confirmed list below get in touch with kev via text message to let him no they are able to play tomorow or in fact cannot play, just so we know numbers.

Bailgate Home Kit 2008/2009

ok , so i spoke with nick and kev and we have a budget of around £250 to get a new home kit with,the current blue and red one seems like it will be our second kit. this is the best i can find really for the prices we are looking at,16 full kits with numbers on the back, we also get a goalie kit too, their a few other examples of the ones we can get on...

www.kitlocker.com

pretty good value for money, i think its look ok, and quite like the first one, the examples i picked were just mainly red and blue, keeping the bailgate colours. but not sure what everyone thinks about other colours, with this kit we also get Kit Locker logo across the chest as a sponsor, not the shitty one you can see there.

post some opinions of what you recon, and if anyone can find any other kits within the price range, post the link on here. remeber its everyones kit, so we all deserve an input.

love and kiss, fletch xxx

Pre Season Training

It's that time of year boy's that we are starting pre season training!!!!!

We will find out who has been doing the traditional Kev Carlisle summer of eating fast food and drinking shandy!!!

We need a good number to turn up and really work hard for this!!!

It is important that we start our season strongly for a change and we are only going to do this by putting in the hard work now!!!

Pre season training will start at 10:30am-12 on Sunday 29th June.

I will announce our friendlies shortly.

I was thinking of doing an additional training midweek on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm down at the home ground?? This will start on Tuesday 8th July. Let me know if you can make this.

End of Season do + Pre Season.

The Bailgate End of Season Do will be on Saturday 21st June.

We have tables reserved and an area set out for ourselves at the back of The Forum Wetherspoons on Silver Street.

We will be meeting at 7:30pm there.
Our end of season awards will be done approx 8:30pm in this area!!! Ooh the suspense as to who has won what will be over!!!

Then the plan is to go with the flow and see where the night takes us.
It would be good if everyone could make it even if it is just for the Awards at The Forum and maybe a few drinks afterwards.

Hope to see everyone there.

Can you let me know if your coming or not so we have an idea of numbers.

Plus Pre Season training will commence on Sunday 29th June and will be 10:30am-12 at the home ground. Be ready for an enjoyable but tough pre-season, we need to make sure we are ready for the first game of the season. We have to aim for a good start!!!!

That's all boys.

KC.

EVENT CANCELLED

THE END OF SEASON TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!

Bad news boys but in the end we just didn't have enough definite commitment to going. Very disappointing fellas.

The cost to the club would have left us too tight for the start of next season.

Sore Feet??

Are you getting sore feet at the end of a long and hard season well try Mike Hardys remedy!! Apparantly it is tried and tested!!

If your feet are aching or damaged get a bowl of warm water (obviously not boiling hot) and add about 10 tea bags (cheap ones are fine) and leave your feet in there until the water goes cold, the longer the better really.

Your feet will all of a sudden feel young again!

Well boys we need more availability for Sunday:

It is a perfect opportunity to have a runout and a game on Sunday. Regular first team players can use this as a chance to keep fit and have a game. Fringe players can use it as a chance to impress and players coming back from injury as an opportunity to gain some fitness and match practise.

Let me know ASAP.

Squad:
Kev Carlisle
Matt Nicholson
Antony Fletcher
Andy Mcgrath
Roy Vickers
Josh Vickers
Tony Gruitt
Phil Watson
Paul Mumby
Adam Ellmer
Graeme Ryan
Adam Crow

Friendly Game on Sunday

Newton United v Bailgate Athletic

Following on from what was said at training last night I have arranged a friendly away at Newton United. We played there in pre season and they comfortably beat us so revenge is required!!

They have just been on a similar unbeaten record to us having lost their first 5 games of the season and they are in Division 6 so it should be a good challenge. They had some very good players last time we played them.

I will use this game to give players on the fringes a game and to test a few players out so could you let me know if you are available to play.

KC

No Game Sunday!

I'm not sure if we have a ref and I can't see the lincolnsunday league site to check?? Can someone check the echo and find out for me??

Apologies to those not in the squad this week, With so many people on form and having a strong squad it means that players will miss out but its important that you understand how difficult it is to pick a side and to keep coming training. It is a squad game and even if you miss out this week it doesn't mean that you'll miss out next week.
