Totally agree Steans'
5 way shoot out for the league this year between our 1sts, Whitwick, Quorn, Shelly n not forgetting Whymeswold. Best Prem in ages. Shame we can't be a part of it being the Reserve Plebs we are.

I never actually said Whitwick r a small club I said it in 3rd person cus somebody else said it, I think the compass r a massive team though..
Totally agree about the prem, between compass, stanny and falcons?

It was me that called them a small CLUB, just a harmless bit of banter taken out of context

With regard to the Prem title, the names mentioned above will always be there or there abouts
However. im sure everyone in this league sees us as the whipping boys, but I feel we might suprise a few teams this year. That said I will be happy to stay up again this season, and build from there.
Sure I've set myself up for a load of abuse now!!!

We are now in our sixth season.
The pub had never previously had a football team, until we had a landlord (Mark Thompson, who is the first team manager) who actually liked football.
Mark, and myself decided that this would be good business for the pub, and it started from there. I approached the Charnwood league, and we both went for the interview. Mark came out with a load of rubbish at the interview of how we were going to be as good as the Stamford, where as I tried to play our chances down as a traditional pub team. the league obviously believed Mark more than me, and put us straight in to Division 2.
Our first two seasons were nothing to write home about finishing mid, to bottom half on both occasions. In our third season, we got to Christmas, and our record showed P 10 W 1 D 0 L 9, so it was not looking good, then the whole team went to Blackpool for the weekend, and we travelled back to Leicester on the Sunday morning to play Pied Bull, who I believe, were top of the league, and we won 3 - 0, then went on to win the last nine games of that season.
Even with this good finish, we still only came sixth in the league, but there was a shake up of the divisions, and we got promoted to Division 1.
Our first season in Division 1, we only lost one game all season, winning the league, and the William Davis cup final.
Last season, our first in the premier, we just about held in there, some mighty drubbings along the way 12 -2 & 7 - 2 to the Stamford were rather unpleasant if not unexpected, but I feel we have moved on from there now.
This season has started ok, narrow defeat against Wymeswold, & a good win against Quorn in the league, and for the first time ever, we have not been knocked out in the first round of both the County & Everards Cups.
The best thing for me is that 8 of the starting line up that played our first game against brush Sports & Social Club six years ago, were still in the line up last week against Ellis Park in the county cup, the other three being me, too old & fat, now comfortable on the sidelines, & the other two are still kicking about in the reserves.
We are looking at the possibility, of having a third team for next season, and I have also been aproached by a local saturday team that wants to come under the Trees banner.
So the future is looking rosy on the pitch, all I need now is for someone to buy the pub, who doesn't want to turn it into an Indian resturant!!!

Massive thumbs up to this post. Whereas I wouldn't exactly say 'Up The Trees' for the obvious reason, I hope they do stay around for a long,long time. Get Ovo to spend his millions on buying The Trees he's spent about that amount in there over the years

I never thought I would use the words 'Ovo, and knight in shining armour' in the same phrase, but hopefully him & Scotty can put something together.

Quick disclaimer to the above note, they were both steaming when they said they wanted to buy the pub, so could have been the beer talking again.
