England's DNA below are kids play on grass pitches the Dutch/Germans wouldn't graze cattle on and the 3g pitches are run by privatized companies simply for profit pricing many kids out off using these facilities #savegrassrootsfooty

Does anyone just ever hit a point of feeling deflated with grassroots football?

If so, how do you “ move on”?

No one is actively complaining, but there is often a lack of consideration towards you, and rarely a thank you.

No kids opportunity to play football should depend on what their parents can afford #savegrassrootsfooty

You don't get to play for #ENGLAND in a World Cup without the help/support from grassroots football along the way and we should never forget this #savegrassrootsfooty

Grassroots Football wouldn’t happen without its army of volunteers , yet time and time again people who don’t volunteer don’t recognise the time and effort that these volunteers put in !
Please read from a club secretary! ⬇️

10 years ago I helped to organise our first tournament. This weekend this is me (club secretary and welfare officer) after being subjected to abuse when I challenged a grandparent for shouting that our 10 and 11 year old were embarrassing for conceding 2 goals.
Eight months of planning, late nights, and countless hours of work all come down to three 15-hour days to deliver another Newark Town Football Club Tournament.

A 50-page event plan, traffic management, emergency procedures, first aid provision, marketing, bookings, insurance, shopping, recruiting (and sometimes begging!) for support – all to make it happen.

This year saw:

• 90 teams
• Around 1,000 players
• More than 2,500 visitors
• 200 football matches played

There was rain, sunshine, wind, plenty of questionable two-way radio conversations, emergency refereeing, litter picking, toilet checking, refrigerated trailer stock checks 😉 (IYKYK), £2 parking charge dodgers, feisty BBQs, challenging visitors, and miles upon miles of walking.

None of this would be possible without an incredible group of people who give up their time to support the club. Many of them don't even have teams participating in the tournament. They are some of the best people I know and lifelong friends.

After 10 years of running the tournament, though, it's time for me to step back from the tournament.

Every year it becomes harder to find support beyond the trusted core team, and that's not what a community club should be about. I love everything about our tournament – welcoming teams from all over the country, the fun, the laughter, and the teamwork – but when you and your family consistently miss out because others don't want to help, there comes a point when enough is enough.

Volunteering is far harder than it should be. We don't do it for ourselves; we do it for others. We volunteer to make things safer, more enjoyable, and more nurturing for everyone involved. But even as volunteers, we have responsibilities, rules, and standards to uphold. When you are disrespected and treated poorly for simply doing what is right, and it reaches the point where you lose the love for something that means so much to you, it's time to walk away.

Thankfully, those negative experiences are very much in the minority, but they still cut deep and are incredibly upsetting.

If you know someone who gives up their time for others, or if you're part of a club, team, or organisation run by volunteers, please be kind, be respectful, and be supportive. Don't take them for granted, or be rude and abusive because they uphold the values of the club you are part of, because one day your children, family members, or friends may no longer have a team, a club, or a tournament to be part of.

To everyone who has helped over the last 10 years – thank you. You made it all worthwhile. Love you all’

La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.

As the costs keep rising, the pool of players keeps falling!
And, the shortfall in finance is a burden that volunteers are struggling to bridge more & more as the cost of living increases.

£20/£30 etc a month to send their kids to football is getting unaffordable for many disadvantage families today, We the free volunteers can't continue to keep propping grassroots football up when theirs £Billions at the top of the pyramid

Nigel Farage has 5 houses.

Zack Polanski lives in a house share with 5 other people.

The media is trying to tell you Zack is the problem.

If you were asked to go to work and do 5/10/15 hours a week and not get paid you wouldn't do it, but those people running grassroots Leagues/clubs/teams across the country are doing exactly this most weekends just so all kids are able to play/train with many being out of pocket

@jamiemckernan91 @Wrexham_AFC Well done Lucas 👏
