We lost 6-0 to a bunch of Norweigan part-timers in our first game of the 1993 Scandanavia tour…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Before anyone gets too excited, apparently it was an Academy/youth side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beating all right, but it's worth hanging some perspective on the result, kids rarely beat seasoned footballers. Note that until recent scrutiny SWFC's ability to operate an effective school programme has been blighted by poor decisions and even poorer financial control. They are currently undergoing 'root and branch' restructuring that'll put their bank account to some good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well isnt it the same as our kids playing Bacup and they only got beaten 2 nil........ That means our kids would beat Sheffs kids 12 nil!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger er Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Bacup Boro play level 9 football in The Pyramid (NWCL Prem), whereas Atherton play at level 5 now. Atherton LR are in the same league as Bacup they play at step 5 NWCFL Prem , Atherton Colls are the league below in step 6 NWCFL 1st Div Alfreton play in Blue square prem which is the old conference Edited July 31, 2011 by rodger er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Sad i was talking to a father of one of the Latics Youth team players last night who was praising Sheff United academy and looking at there recent FA youth cup final appearance sounds like they got the better set of youngsters. Still Youth/academy should not be losing 14-0. How many did Leicester put past us when they played our reserves a few seasons back which was full of kids?

youngen Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Kids or no kids, surely its not a good idea to create a friendly the week before a season against a team that will clearly rip the Sheff Weds kids a new arsehole. Very poor decision that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
