[One and a half hour training pitch lets?]

Does anyone know of any astrograss parks in Glasgow that let you hire a 3rd of the pitch for 1.5 hours? Most of them (as far as I know) only allow you to hire them for an hour at a time.

Thanks.

They should get a TeamExpert website like the East of Scotland Football Association & League website: https://www.eosfl.com/

[Amateur football is dying]

I haven't read every post but for me one of the biggest issues is work commitments as a few guys have mentioned. The change to a 24/7 society means a lot more people are having to work all sorts of hours. Other guys just aren't committed and drop out of games for all sorts of reasons.

Someone mentioned limiting the amount of players in your squad but I'm not sure how that would help. In our league you are not allowed trialists.
