anyway back to the senior threads for me
I was going to make a long-winded reply. but honestly SAP is a competitive program. It always has been. Its not about making friends. Its about football.

Anyone who's got their knickers in a knot needs to realise that and just get on with it. It doesn't get better than SAP - enjoy it while you have kids that are in that age group.

If you are having sleepless nights because your kids have to trial at another club now, you will never sleep again if they play through to NPL Youth.

And if you have more than one playing - double the fun.

Just because you have been TOLD you have been retained it doesn't mean anything unless you have the paper with it written on. Lots of people talk during the season and towards the end - But talk is all it is if you don't see it on a piece of paper with the club logo, don't ever take it as gospel. You have to do the best thing for your kids and if that means registering them other places to trial until your current club makes them an offer in writing - then that's what you do - If they want to keep you bad enough they will put the offer in writing at the very least.


How toxic has this thread become though? - lots of bored people with no football on by the looks of it.
