Following on from the first CYP England Squad Trials, all four of our lads have been selected to play in a second trial at Blaby & Whetstone on Saturday 20th.
Through Aylestones membership with the CYP organisation, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity for some of our boys to attend the England under 16 squad trials held on 6th February 2010 at Tottenham Hotspur Academy. It’s great for our lads to be offered this experience which they will hopefully learn from and have good memories of the day. The only shame is that more players from our squad could not be recommended as the depth of quality throughout the under 16’s is fantastic.

There has recently been considerable graffiti damage at the clubhouse, mainstand and dugouts, the police have been informed and are monitoring the situation and consequently are empowered to stop and search likely culprits. Occasionaly these youths & girls congregate near the mobile phone mast at the bottom right hand corner of the ground. If you should see anything suspicious tell them to move off the ground and that the police are aware. This unfortunately is becoming increasingly annoying and may I remind all club members and parents that our ground is solely for the use of football and not a public facility. It is your club please accept the responsability of looking after it.

From the 1st September each section of the club will be allocated a week where they can use the ground and Social facilities to raise the £75 to pay for the First Aid Cover on that day, any amount raised above this can be retained by the individual section. Dean Oldham is drawing up a rota and will collect in the £75 at the end of the day on Sunday. This is a chance for managers to get parents involved in fund raising and to produce some innovative ideas to raise funds. |

After completing 2 successful seasons at youth team level it is with great pleasure I can announce that Rich Groocock has agreed to further his management career with the park by taking on the role as senior 1st team manager. This particularly pleases me as we have filled this position from within the structure of the club and not needed to look outside, I sincerely hope that this progression through the ranks is noted by all connected with the park and that future players and managers progress to the highest level offered at the club.
An added bonus is that Rich is a close friend of former city star Matt Elliott and matt has very generously agreed to assist rich with coaching/training duties hopefully on a regular basis. I’m sure I echo every park members thoughts in wishing them a successful season.
