Bad Goalkeeping from PHC!!
Are people not interested in local soccer anymore??…these games have been near empty so far.
Why did the BFA rearrange this tournament anyway?!?…guys in suits making bad decisions…oggghh!
The Dudley Eve needs to revert back to the Xmas tournament it once was!!….it made lots of money, college soccer players got to show their talents during the xmas holiday period and good soccer was played between the clubs inform at the time.
Soon soccer will be as empty as the summer cricket leagues!!
BFA needs to come out of their development day dream a.s.a.p.!!!!!
I agree with GPS. The BFA made a huge mistake in changing the time of that tournament. It was something football fans and players looked forward to during the Christmas holiday season.
Also, the BFA needs to do some more promotion to let people know that the season has started. I just found out today from reading the article that the season has started.
Good luck to all the clubs out there…may the best team win.
I am a Boulevard Blazers fan!!!
