Hi GUys,
Plain and simple fact of it is that the Coney are in crisis having lost 2 key players in the space of a month for various reasons. Now whilst we are struggling to continue to avoid another mid season drop out we have come to the tipping point where something HAS to happen. We currently have a squad of 7 players (6 for league cup) and because of work commitments are turning up with 5 and 6 each week at best.
Basically we have now set a time limit for signing two new players (who have at least an outside chance of winning some games) by Monday 18th February. If this does not happen we will fold as it is just becoming too hard to continue.
So if you know any half decent players who are willing to come to Elmers End please let myself or Mavis know by the above date at latest.
Hopefully you can see we are making the effort to not have another drop out but losing two of our best players permanently has taken the wind out of our sails.
cheers |

It's bitter sweet for us as well Alex. Since I have effectively dropped out I've missed Croydon Pool but as Matt said before the thought of never meeting you again makes it all seem ok.

What we actually said was we knew when it was right to 'turn off the Eden lights'. Anyway, what has our now very comfortable situation have to do with your current mid season crisis?
I'll send out a couple players on 'loan' if it helps you!! |

Anyway, piss off Alex 
Back on topic..
If anyone is interestd I can honestly say you will not find a better environment to play pool or a nicer bunch (apart from Rhys of course) to play with.
If anyone doubts the teams comittment still in the light of recent results, the team has been 3-2 up in the last two league games against the Patriots and the Prop. One frame was forfeited versus the Patriots for having 5 players and in both games the player nominated twice lost twice, to lose both 4-3. I think it is fair to say with 7 we would have probably won both. The heartbeat of the team is still beating strongly With a couple more players the future could be bright.

Ah bless James.
What I'll really miss is singing you all the ''Walking in an Eden Wonderland'' song, and I guess if I am never to see you again it will be a 'bitter sweet' memory of mine that I got to sing it one last time in YOUR pub. |

Wouldn't it be wise to explain the Coney team selection process at this stage? Don't the really shit players have some gay one frame play off match each week to win a place in the team?

It has now dawned on these two teams the last relegation spot is looming fast and they are desperately trying to cling onto one last ounce of hope.....
A mid season merger.....
This is better than day time television.

Shall we get Graeme Witt and Danny Wordley on line to explain the selection process? |

By all means.
I think you are referring to a few seasons ago when there was indeed a couple of play offs (3 or 4 max) for the last place when records and form were similar between players. Very fair in my eyes and completly contradicts your accusations that Berty only picks 'his mates'.
Anyway Alex, no biting from me. I am sure you will pick up many friend and allegiances long after we have gone.

I just look at the past Coney ''selection policy'' whether it is 'past' or 'present' as one thing.....
Weak captaincy. |

My days of worrying about the absolute rubbish that comes out of the powers (grrr) mouth are well and truly over. If any other non losers can see that this is an attempt purely and simply to avoid you guys having another bye in the already depleated season then please get in touch if not then no one can say we didn't try. I mean after all to come on here and have to advertise for players amidst the oh so predictable taunts of the Eden will hopefully show you that this is serious.
Harry if we do fold I am sure there will be one or two players although I for one will be dismantling my cue for the last time in Croydon Pool.

lol
If anyone objects to the fact that 3 seasons ago there were 3 or 4 play offs for places, please do not apply.
