Where are the AFC / WTFC U18's playing their games this season, they can't all be at the Dog & Duck surely?.
I was wondering that as well. If so, the playing surface at the D & D is going to take a hammering. :shock:

I understand that Peterboro North Star are droping out to another league and i believe that Whitworths had an under 18 team last season

Stagman is absolutely correct - PNS youth sections is now being run by Dominic Genovese, who is not a fan of the NSYL, and has switched them to the Eastern Counties League.

I don`t think we`ll re-draw the KO Cup - just have KFC taking PNS`s place in the competition.

As far as the pitch goes, remember Wellingborough had a reserve side last season playing far more games than we do in the NSYL, so effectively, although there are now 3 teams on the pitch, there will only be a handful of extra games on it compared to last season - and the Doughboys have only had one season without an u18 team of their own!!

Yes. I was told that as well. Should think the Ploppies faithful would be breaking their necks to find out what it was. ;)

Out of all the events planned this one was the event I was really looking forward to. It's going to be a shame if this event is going to be another flop with only a handful turning up.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Will Horace be sending another rallying cry along the lines of "Please don't let this event prove the ex R&D fans that they were right, nobody come to events at Nene Park, it's a waste of time and effort. Let's prove we are Poppies fans and we care more about our club.""

Horace.....I'm going to put my neck on the line here and say I'm predicting another FLOP! :lol: :lol: :lol:
