BAILGATE ATHLETIC FC
DIVISION 4 CHAMPIONS

2008/09

Congratulations to Kev Carlisle and his team

Evolution v Bailgate Athletic

Our final game of the season away at Evolution is at West Common 6, 10:45am kick off.

Meet by 10am at the Common, anyone later than this will get a £1 fine, Please don't be late!!!!!!

It's come to our final game of the season and the scenario is simple, if we win the game we win the league!! We need to be as professional and organised as we were on Wednesday evening. We have to show the same passion, desire and look to play our football again and show our quality in our side.

I will ask one last time if people can refrain from drinking on Saturday evening. This league title is there for the taking and if you do go out you will only regret it if you have thrown it away for 1 night out. Just think of the piss up you can have if we do win the league.

so I will say it one last time this season but this is a MUST WIN game!! Let's do this boys!!!!

After the game we will be going back to the home ground for an end of season drinks and food. Let's all try and get back to the club as they are making the effort to put food on for us.

We have somehow been given another lifeline in our bid for promotion and the league title. We NEED 2 Wins and this game is MUST WIN!! We have to be up for this from the first whistle! We have to all turn up as early as we can so that we are ready and prepared.

We have to BELIEVE we can win these last 2 games. I believe in your ability, We can do this boys!!! It's there to be won!!!

Come on boys!!! UP THE BAIL!!!

Bailgate v Brown Cow

Well it's a massive game on Sunday, meet at the home ground at 10am!! Be there on time!! £1 fine for anyone that's late, it's important we are ALL here and we will try to be as professional as possible on sunday. Get the nets up straight away, back into the changing rooms to get changed and then out to the pitch to warm up TOGETHER!

We have just 3 games left and we need to win all 3 games! This is gonna be a massive challenge for us.

We have 2 sunday games left so I am just asking that you don't drink excessively, there is a massive prize for not doing this.

This squad selection has been really difficult too with all players available. I have tried to take everything into consideration with training and the opposition.

If you haven't made the squad I apologise but we will be using everyone thats been involved recently in the last 3 games. I will be rotating depending on the opposition:

Update of Bailgate News

Well firstly Training is on this Wednesday at the home ground meeting at 6:15pm and we will go on until it's dark. Let me know if your gonna be late, come along anyway.

If you want to be involved in the run in then it is essential you turn up for training as I will be using this for my selections for the remaining 3 games. In the last week we have had a terrible turn out at training!! Just as the season is at it's most important part!! We have only 3 games left so we need everyone pulling together to end this season with the silverware that is there for the taking!!!

Also our game against Monks Road will take place at home, on Wednesday 15th April, we need to have a good side out for this game so if this isn't suitable for you let me know ASAP.

Training on Sunday

We have training at the home ground on Sunday at 11am.

Hope to see you there after only 6 people including myself turned up for training on Wednesday which isn't good at all!

Let me know if you can't make it

Training and thoughts after Sunday

Well what a disappointment Sunday was! We just didn't turn up, the majority of us were all still in bed.

We have to ask ourselves if we actually wanna win this league??? I know it's only sunday league but the attitude that was shown on sunday was that we didn't care. The majority of us rolled up 25 minutes late. We hadn't got the nets up and It was a rush to get 11 players on the pitch in time for kick off. We then put in a performance of a team that weren't focused and didn't want it. You just have to look at Metheringham, they travelled alot further than us and they arrived all for 10am and were so organised in everything they did. We need to do the same for the final few games.

We have 3 games left and to be honest I want this league title. It would be such a disappointment to come this far and come away with nothing. We have such a good side and if we apply ourselves for the last few games then we can put all the pressure on to Bardney!!!

3 wins in 3 games is essential, that's all we can do and that is in our own hands! That would leave Bardney having to win all 8 games which is a big ask.

So all I'm asking for is everyone to pull together as a team, put one big final effort in and try to replicate our early season form as I don't feel apart from Rasen at home apart that we have performed in quite a while. I will be handing out £1 fines to anyone turning up late in future to avoid the embarrassment of Sunday again.

We don't have a game this sunday as Monks Road are in the cup. but we have Brown Cow at home on the 12th April and Evolution on the 19th April with the Monks road game still to be arranged and it will be a midweek game.

Come on boy's lets get the team spirit back and do the best we can to win this league.

Training will be on Wednesday 7:30-8:30 at the uni and We will have a training session on Sunday at our home ground 11am. I want as big a turn out as possible, let's show we want this boys.

Training Wednesday!

Training is on wednesday at the university at the slightly later time of 8.30 - 9.30.

bring £1 each and lets try and have a good turnout as we have a huge game on sunday at home to metheringham!!

Market Rasen V Bailgate

Sunday is a MASSIVE game!! We have to be up for it and to not drop points here.

we MUST NOT underestimate them, they are a very handy team at home and get a few better players playing in their home games.

If we turn up and play our own game this game is winnable and we must show that!!

It's important we keep winning to put more pressure on the chasing teams and it's important we push on in the business end of the season!!!

Meet at 9:35am at KFC on outer circle drive. Anyone not meeting there let me know

Meet at 10am at home ground to put nets up.

Boys, after last Sunday it is vital we get back to winning ways against Sippers this weekend. We know from our previous game against them that it is going to be a battle, so we all have to be fired up for this from the first minute.

We are top of the league on merit, and if we are going to stay there we need to continue to show the same hard work and effort that we have up until this point. We beat Sippers last time and can beat them again, but we have to win our individual battles first.

Be sure to arrive on time and ready to battle for 90min.

Bailgate Birthday Night Out!!!

next weekend 7th March is Andy Mac 21st.

It also is around the time of Adam, Parky and Kevs birthdays

and due to the fact we dont have a game the next day....its a perfect excuse for a mash up!!!

alot of people are already meeting for Andys birthday in Lloyds on the brayford at 7.30-8.

so what does everyone think about combining all the birthdays, so we have a huge group of us and all meeting there?

thoughts welcome, but best to get it sorted early as its only a week away!!

Training Tomorow!

training IS on tomorow despite our beloved gaffer being in Spain.

7.30-8.30 at the university, can everyone bring a quick please.

let me no if you can make it, hopeful of a good turn out.

if you have a student card...please bring it :)

Bailgate Athletic v Market Rasen

This Sunday is a MASSIVE game and it really is MUST WIN if we are serious about our ambitions for this season. We have to be up for this game!!!!! Rasen are a bit of an unknown quantity as we haven't seen them and they haven't played many games but they are normally a pretty good side so we can't underestimate them as we need the 3 points!!!

It's important we bounce back from our last game and that the real BAILGATE turn up!!!!!
