Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

Cos surely that's bigger news than a field change? Or do you only take pot shots at us?

My question about Cuthberts Green was asked because I am aware for several other clubs having issues with the conditions of pitches due to poor (or the lack of maintainance) by the council, nothing more nothing less.

Shushy6 I do not have enough assests to worry about trying to hide them in any off-shore tax dodge, also can state I can never received payment from any club. But if Coastal think I can be brought off willing to talk the next time I see you on the sidelines as there is a high chance I will be looking for new employment in the next month or two.

Sorry to hear that. Which clubs do media well?

All MPL/WPL clubs have a website and FB page but how often are they being updated and what is their audience like?

When looking at publicly available info (on current club pages - some have old and/or multiple pages still out there), here are some interesting stats, correct at time of writing, but apolgies if I'm looking at wrong pages or twitter feeds. 

All FB pages seem active, with the exception of Western.

Given the relative size of some of these clubs, some interesting results.

and on mass they all come all out the closet with the same old crap 

All class and 2 board members as well 

I'd just like to say I've been out of the closet for quite some time. Ask my boyfriends.  

And no board members here that I know of. 

did they finally suss u and gg out 

although it was good to see your brother down joining the bright side at Centennial last week. 

Just for the record - Selwyn 995 Likes - Twitter 35 followers ; last updated 3 days ago

And here I was thinking that AW82 was part of the 'coastal' group of bloggers. Maybe when I joined it was mostly coastal ones so just assumed

Wow Dragoon. Just wait until those hundreds of young Selwyn kids running around at Foster are old enough to get their own FB pages.

He will be very old by that stage.

Nomads -Up to date website,  FB- 697 Likes 3 posts this week, last one 3 hours ago + photos and videos of games. -  Monthly Newsletter -    - Blogspot last update 2014 -Twitter account can't find one? 

Selwyn has regular interviews on their YouTube channel.

Here's who has and hasn't done the picks this week. Will be closing off at about 6 so get in.

It's Green Beans and MastJ that haven't put their picks in yet.

Hey 10cc, do you have a link? I could only find something that is 2 years out of date? 

Can't find any clubs using insta regularly yet. 

I saw Mainland posted a video interview of the 2 coaches after last Friday night's game; hopefully that will be a regular feature. Good work Andrew.

Selwyn do a great job I like their youtube interviews, something I'd like to do. 

I looked into instagram but probably won't, I think Facebook, website and twitter are plenty.  

Snapchat is great but it's mainly used for dickpicks.

Found it. Search SUFC, not Selwyn United, or click on the handy link on their website, doh.

The kids use #insta an awful lot, more so than they will ever use twitter.

Tonight's result:

FC Twenty11 0 Ferrymead Bays 1 (Chris Anderson) HT 0 - 0

It's all Greek to me. 

Missing Coastal v Western tomorrow as well  so expect a goal scoring bonanza.

Congrats to Bench Warmer, Dan Ede and Scottie Rd for going 1 from 1. The rest of you (us) are losers.

#bullshut

#willhestarttomorrow

I'm very old now!  But yes GG - that's quite a scary thought

With around 15 to play: Cashmere Technical lead Halswell 1 - nil and Coastal 1 up over Halswell.

Hardly fair 22 v  11!

Full Time

Cashmere Technical 5 (Tom Schwarz 2 pens, Gary Ogilvie 2, Michael White) Halswell 0

Coastal Spirit 1 (Aaron Spain) Western 0

Should have read Coastal 1 up over Western

Updated table with Nelson Suburbs play Universities tomorrow:

still undefeated.

Park the bus next week Ekow and Red. 

Can you please get Meysum's name correct...I've seen it spelt so many different ways and it's been incorrect on team sheet, programme and Facebook postings...all different spellings..all incorrect!   It's spelt MEYSUM SHAFAHI..(IAW Google..)

If it's wrong on the teamsheet educate the management team!

Which is exactly why Mainland also get it wrong on their Facebook postings because they go off the team sheets.

Which surely leaves 1 set of people to ensure spell it right then! No-one else to blame but the management.

Wonder if someone appealed the name on the teamsheet they could claim he isn't registered ;) Does seem ludicrous but you never know!

Half time in Nelson  - Suburbs 1 Universities 1
