We Are Seasiders PROGRAMME | 2019/20 | NUMBER: 12 #WE ARE SEASIDERS FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED VS ROMFORD SAT 07 DECEMBER 2019 - 3PM - ISTHMIAN NORTH @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Good afternoon to you all and welcome back to the Goldstar ground for this BetVictor Isthmian League North fixture against Romford. I wish a very warm welcome to our visitors this afternoon and of course to the match officials Messrs. Thomas Harvey, Richard Pace and Ashley Tyne. I hope you find our hospitality meets expectations. I really felt for the first team management following last Saturday’s game, where we conceded three goals, having been two goals to the good and giving away three valuable points. We played well against a very good Dereham side, who had gone four games on the bounce with wins, and scoring twenty goals in the process. To be 2-0 up and cruising looked to be a scalp in the making, but it was not to be. As is often the case, Dereham seemed to up their game when they found themselves behind, then down to 10 men, and for the last twenty five minutes or so, they were far the better side and probably good value for their win. This afternoon we host Romford who are languishing at the foot of the Isthmian League and will be coming to us expecting to take the points. Let us also consider that they have recently appointed a new owner who seems to have taken on a completely new squad - I am confident that our side has the wherewithal to bounce back from last Saturday’s FROM THE CHAIRMAN THE FROM disappointment and put Romford to the sword. We need this win today, so let’s get behind the Seasiders and stay with them to a victory. Next up at the Goldstar is Basildon United on Saturday 28th December. It leaves me to say, have a fantastic Christmas and hope you win some goodies at tonight’s Christmas draw. For the 2019/20 season, the Felixstowe & Walton United First Team (and Reserves) programmes will be online only, available to download for free.

Accordingly any form of discriminatory abuse whether it be based on race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, faith, age, ability or any other form of abuse will be reported to The Football Association for action by that Association.” The views and opinions expressed in this programme are not necessarily those of the committee or management of Felixstowe & Walton United FC” Welcome to everyone this afternoon as we host Romford FC in what is no doubt a huge fixture for both football clubs. Glenn and his management team are new in post and I am sure they will be looking to make their most important statement so far since taking over, getting results and points on a Saturday afternoon. I mention how important this fixture is for us and it’s not necessarily because we play a side in the pack around us, but more off the back of what was simply the most frustrating 20 minutes of football last Saturday as we threw away for the second time at home what should have been 3 points. For 70 minutes we executed a game plan against a top side on a great run of form. No one inside Dellwood would have argued with the result but as Phil Griffiths mentioned after the game, football is a 90 minute game and we must shut out opposition in the final stages. Whilst it’s important not to forget the quality of the performance up until that point, top sides will have the discipline, fitness and mental strength to make sure you don’t throw winning positions away. Two sessions this week allowed us to work on that with players and they as a group have been reflective on individual performances first, and their collective responsibility. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Its not just players, we@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ as managers reflect, and a mid-week fixture to get Saturday FROM THE DUGOUT out of our system would@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ have helped, but football isn’t that kind. What we have done, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ is ensure that this group@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ of players will be fully prepared for this afternoon’s fixture. The development of the@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ side and its response to the ways we as a management team expect the players@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ to approach their football has been first class. We look around the squad now@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ and see players that can start to challenge one another. We @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ welcome Ollie Canfer@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ who has been a top quality footballer over the past few years, making significant contributions@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ at both Bury, Hadleigh and Stowmarket. Josh Lee was made a huge impact off the bench against Grays, and his continued development will be supported by the likes of Ollie and George Clarke. Josh has since been with England Schools and ill last week, so we have been pleased to have him available again this weekend for selection. I hope we get a chance to enjoy a drink with you all after the game as the club kicks off Christmas with the Draw in the clubhouse. We intend to contribute 3 points to the evening’s cheer – Have a good afternoon everyone! Andy Crump @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Read Full License Page 1/36 Abstract Research question The English Premier League, one of the most successful football league, is on the verge of losing its competitive edge due to Home-grown regulation proposal. This study focuses on the effects of this regulation on football clubs’ nancial and operational eciency. Research methods To accurately measure the effects of these measures, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was used to 10 different Premier League Clubs spanning 7 years. Data of 10 clubs that have never been relegated were collected over 7 years. Results and ndings Eciency score spread shows that clubs were seriously affected in eciency in adjacent season after the implementation of the Home-grown regulation. Clubs were nancially impacted due to rising cost of required Home-grown players, further depriving its nancial footholds. Also, ecacy of this regulation was not effective as the Home-grown players did not gain much playing time in the eld. Implications Football Association proposes further strengthening the Home-grown regulation in the future seasons. This study concludes that proposed home-grown regulation will further impact the football clubs nancially as it was evident from the eciency modeling in the study.

  • An Exploration of Young Professional Football Players' Perceptions of The
    1 An exploration of young professional football players' perceptions of the 2 talent development process in England Thomas Webb, Matt Dicks, Daniel J. Brown, Jimmy O'Gorman 3 Abstract 4 The identification and development of players in English professional football has 5 become an increasingly significant topic of debate given the historical perceived 6 underperformance of the English national team at international tournaments. To enhance 7 understanding of the challenges and barriers experienced by English youth footballers, the 8 authors explore the developmental experiences of English professional football players from 9 different levels of the English football pyramid. Professional players (N = 11) from football 10 clubs in the top four professional divisions in England took part in individual semi-structured 11 interviews, which were analysed inductively using thematic analysis. The data revealed three 12 interrelated themes that were perceived to mediate player identification and development 13 pathways at professional clubs. Pathways for young players to progress and experience first- 14 team competitive football differed when the level of the league that the players operated 15 within was considered, with significant issues also raised relating to the suitability of the 16 under 21 league structure, the importance attached to the educational welfare of young 17 players, and variations in the identification of player attributes. This study sheds new light on 18 the priorities and processes of talent development and education provision in English 19 football. 20 Keywords: Talent identification, talent development, association football, soccer, education. 1 1 1. Introduction 2 The development of talent in football continues to be a subject of considerable 3 academic scrutiny and popular debate (Pain & Harwood, 2008).

  • Football's Financial Fair Play in a Win Maximizing Environment
    Football's financial fair play in a win maximizing environment Author: Sander Kool Bachelor Student Management & Consumer Studies Wageningen University Registration number: 910314-462-070 Supervisor Wageningen UR: Dr. Christos Kolympiris Janne Denolf (co-reader) Wageningen University Department of Management Studies Bsc. Thesis Course code: MST-80912 July, 2012 Preface This bachelor thesis is written as a part of the bachelor Management and Consumer Studies at Wageningen University. The thesis is the result of my research into literature on the financial situation in European club football. This topic inspired me because, management issues and decisions in sport management, due to different management objectives, differ significantly from conventional management issues and decisions. More specifcally, the football market is an interesting field of research because of large financial flows and high interest for the sport, worldwide. European football is of increasing importance to ongoing research because it is a huge and fast growing business, operating worldwide but still lacks systematic knowledge (Dolles and Söderman 2005) . The primary reason for writing this thesis, is because of the downward trend football clubs are facing. Expenditures are increasing dramatically and European football clubs experience large losses. This thesis aims to provide an insight in the motives of football clubs to overspend and addresses possible regulations that could change football club management. Hereby the focus is on the recently introduced financial fair play regulations, initiated by the UEFA to support fair competition and long- term financial stability. During the process of writing this thesis I tried to combine scientific research, as a starting point for theory, with the practice of European club football.

  • A Multidisciplinary Investigation Into the Talent Identification and Development Process in an English Football Academy
    A multidisciplinary investigation into the talent identification and development process in an English football academy Submitted by Adam Leigh Kelly to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sport and Health Sciences in May 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 I. ABSTRACT Introduction The purpose of a player development pathway is to realise the most effective methods to support young individuals to maximise their potential (MacNamara & Collins, 2015). Within a modern football academy setting, the essential developmental characteristics are often termed environmental, psychological, sociological, physiological, technical, and tactical attributes (Sarmento et al., 2018). Although these factors have been explained to independently facilitate the acquisition of expert performance, fully-integrated multidisciplinary evidence from an English context is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was two-fold; firstly, to analyse these respective features to determine what outcomes support greater age-specific performance within the Foundation Development Phase (FDP; under-9 to 11s) and Youth Development Phase (YDP; under-12 to 16s) at an English professional football academy. Following this investigation, this thesis examined what characteristics facilitated age-specific development across two football seasons within the same group. Methods During the first season, a total of 98 outfield academy players (FDP n=40; YDP n=58) participated.

Even in this gender-segregated, near-total institution, these working-class, non-educationally aspiring adolescents evidence an attenuated performance of ‘maleness’ and improved attitudinal disposition toward homosexuality.

  • Dunston Vs Tadcaster Albion E-Programme
    WELCOME! We would like to extend a very warm welcome to our visitors this evening as TADCASTER ALBION FC provide the opposition for this Pitching-In Northern Premier League N/West Division Match. The Players, Team Management, Officials and supporters of our opponents are most welcome after making the journey from North Yorkshire. The two Clubs met twice last season before the cancellation of proceedings and Dunston were fortunate enough to run out winners in both games. In the first match at the UTS Stadium, a single goal by Jack Elliott was enough to claim the points in a very close encounter. The return game at Tadcaster was equally tight and produced an end-to-end thriller for the spectators. Dunston carried some good fortune to win by three goals to two with Scott Heslop, Callum Elliott and Liam Marrs grabbing the glory. Our visitors did wonderfully well to overcome the disaster of a badly flooded Stadium during the terrible weather that swept the country last season. Thankfully they have repaired all of the damage caused to their facilities. Their determination to beat all the odds speaks volumes for their will to continue despite adversity. We also extend a warm welcome to our Match Officials this evening, Darren Williams who travels from Newcastle and his Assistant Referees Danny Markham from Washington and Thomas Lishman who also comes from Newcastle. Our FA Match Observer is Ted Ilderton from Whitley Bay. Let’s all remember the Covid-19 Regulations. Keep a safe distance from each other so that we can ensure the safety of everyone.
