Today's W1T game was I think the most physical we've seen yet. But if my recall is correct, at the AGM the proposal as negotiated between Club Development and the AFC Stoke Newington squad was that they'd agreed a budget thought to be sustainable, and that for the first year they'd be largely auton...

Do the women’s team have a physio? The few times I’ve seen them it’s been Patrick the head coach who’s run on to treat injuries - I don’t doubt his qualifications but maybe it’s better to have a dedicated one like the men’s team do? Might be a good opportunity for a student or something... Anyone fr...

This is my bad. It was my proposal, and it passed. I had reasons for the initial delay, but I shan't go into those here.

Quick update: the ESL has released their fixtures (i.e. including Walthamstow’s) but they don’t seem set in stone yet as we have noticed a few have changed since the initial release. So we’re waiting for them to settle down a bit until we send our ground availability form to the MCFL, hopefully earl...

Any update? Last I remember hearing I think they were looking for new coaching & management team? Apologies if I’ve missed an update somewhere.

Not for a while I’d imagine - they are still waiting on clubs’ ground availability, some of which (including us) depends on fixtures in higher leagues being released first.

If it’s anything like Div 1 they’ll release them in batches anyway, i.e. only a few at first.
