Brinkburn Sixth Form College are looking into having a football academy to run along side the rugby academy its in the early stages as yet but when the sports hall opens it will state of the art and our own Richie Humpreys is going to be involved in the coaching and setting up.

Sounds good Mouldy.

Is this for kids at the college?

if it gets him away from the left back spot i'm all for it

There will be local boys clubs invited to be a part of the set up using all the facilities and and bringing the youngsters though from an early age to 19.

do you work there like mouldy? also I heard from my uncle that there is big plans outlined for brinky over the front of the "old" house were all the grass was.

Great stuff. I wonder if the current Brinkburn Junior FC are part of this?

They have teams from aged 8 to 16. And train and play at Brinkburn currently.

There will be a big glass dome Compo streatching from the front of the old builing to the new college it looks very impressive.

Not sure which boys clubs will be approached ADG but i will mention the Brinkburn junior sides at the next meeting.

I'll be coaching the C team. They didn't win a game last season so hopefully next year will see some sort of improvement. I've already got a couple of the former Pools lads coming along to do a bit of training. The Football Academy sounds brilliant, Brinky has always had a good football team (I captained it back in 2005) and this will only help the standard of football in the town.

Kev, I'll have to pop over for a cuppa some time soon, greet my new colleague

Are you playing sunday league next yearr kibbs?

Association football at Brinkburn! We'd have been shipped to a prison colony if we even thought about it in my schooldays.

Yeah, I've signed for Supporters. I'm also playing on a Saturday for Fens Stranton.

You are welcome i'll put the kettle on my HQ is next to the youth centre.

Could this mean a return to 5-a-side on Wednesdays?

Too right, we had a couple of new young teachers came along and started organising a game after school some evenings. They lasted about ten more minutes after that.

so i take it you work at brinky, my uncle used to last year called Martin Taylor he told me about the new plans (he was the short fat bloke who used to be the IT technician - what a cliché)

I'm site manager on the council side of thing and the academy will need our pitchs and sportshall to procede its very early stages but i'll keep people informed.

Mouldy

Do you know why the football goal posts are still up, and the goalmouths not reseeded?

Gonna be a dodgy pitch next season that one.

Are they accessable to the public?

The post are coming down this weekend i,m informed that is the college pitch my pitch has post we put up and take down after games.

No Yubeb you need to book the pitch through the college during the season.

can you book through the college during the close season?

i.e. july

Yes if the post are up i,m sure Catholic club over 40s use it on Saturdays.

Possibly. With playing for two sides and running a side and teaching I'll be snowed under. I'll try and make the odd appearance if I can.

Supporters is my Sunday morning team i follow Adam.

Will you be taking Power with you?

Hopefully this season we can do the business. They're putting together a good squad, it all depends on whether they can keep it together.
