Fair point. How long will the attention last though? Clubs need roots, especially this one which has flitted about, a name which had some kind of reference to a community would help with that. Anyways apart from the name it's great to see some ambition. Best of luck to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about it now so its still lasting Its all about publicity and getting in the public eye which they seem to be doing on twitter etc. Their trying to make roots where they are now and must have spent a few quid on their ground, cheap as chips season ticket etc looks like they are trying to establish themselves in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team lines show it was Simon Mensing. It was definitely Mensing that played the week before against Abbey Vale. 33 minutes ago, Burnie_man said: I wonder if the Boxing Braves get a refund on their fees given they have been kicked out the club? I wondered that as well. Maybe instead of being refunded they'll be given a few hundred annual memberships to give to their pals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the talk has been negative, though, especially about the name. It'll be interesting to see if people actually turn out to watch them; hopefully they do. At least they have a home base now, which is an excellent move forward; it was ridiculous that they were allowed into the pyramid with absolutely nothing behind them except for a guy trying to make money out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but they have still been in the public eye more than ever. I agree with you about them getting in the pyramid but at the time the juniors weren't going for it and the likes of Edusport saw an opportunity which they took.

The LL were obviously desperate for teams for the west in the early days and EK, Cumbernauld Colts and Edusport applied when the juniors didn't just took, advantage of a situation to suit their clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
