    Cleaning boots time!

    Just ignore the "Do not clean boots in the shower" sign and away you go.

    Nike team kits 2016/17

    All easily resolved by allowing the referee to wear a non-black shirt. I know the clubs should know better, but The FA seem to be the last bastion of tradition purely for the sake of it. Even the PL and FL in England allow non-black referee shirts. When clubs have an all navy blue strip, it is...

    New Nike Kit

    A&H always do the decal, if you wanted embroidered you have to ask for it. The decal is fine and looks good normally.

    NPD AND FAMOA no

    No idea what an NPD number is, but your FAMOA number is the same as your FAN, which should be on your certificate. Ask your County RDO if you need help. God I hate using initialisms all the time

    Pre Season 2016/17

    Turned down a few friendly games already, have closed every weekend in August on MOAS (and some midweek dates), so I expect my first game will be a Tuesday night job 2nd week of August, before I start properly in September. I am ready to go, fitness not an issue and have really worked on my...

    Annoying Injury!

    And bear in mind it might not even be an issue with the calf at all, as your physio will explain when he looks at your posture and hip/leg strength. Hope it's all ok.

    2016-2017 Training Wear

    Different levels, different "expectations" (I say that as my personal opinion). L7, doing Sunday morning kids etc., you just wear your kit and turn up shortly before the game and ref it. As you move up, while there's no need to have a specific badged top, you'll generally find the need to warm...

    Anybody else not looking forward to the start of the season?

    I would say don't come back until you are ready, nothing stopping you from starting your season in September or even later. I'm not currently looking forward to the new season, but I have closed all of my dates until late August so that I should be energised. Once all of the matches are on TV...

    New Nike Kit

    New Nike Kit

    A&H do 2 options - the main one is the decal, which is full size. Some suggest the decal will eventually wear away with washing, like a sponsors logo on a football shirt, but I've had mine for 2 years and it's as good as new. You can also select the embroidered badge, this is (I believe) a...

    Next Manager Of England

    Look at it another way - constantly the press and 'experts' bemoan how the England manager is never able to get the best out of the players and never able to win matches when it matters. Surely in this scenario Allardyce is actually a good choice, as he isn't trying to get them to play more...

    New Nike Kit

    I think (but could be wrong) that it's the same as the embroidered CFA badges they do which is an embroidered badge that is stuck on. I did ask a while ago but forgot exactly what they told me. Either way looks excellent anyway.

    New Nike Kit

    I'll manage, it's not that different anyway. As an aside, I called up both A&H and Sporting Touch to discuss kit pricing and A&H wouldn't do me a bespoke package so I went with Sporting Touch in the end. Despite me asking them to confirm about 5 times, and them telling me Yes, the FAMOA badge...

    New Nike Kit

    I ordered the old kit as I just prefer the look of it (plus the white stripe on the collar) so I have mine already. Just wanted to order some new socks and shorts though, so will have to wait for those I think.

    New Nike Kit

    Revisiting this thread as I hear that the new Nike kit has been delayed until end of July....those waiting for badging, etc. may not see it until early/mid August. Not heard that from A&H directly, but Sporting Touch have emailed out to say this affects all suppliers.

    Promotion

    I thought you had to be Level X on 1st March to be eligible for promotion to the next level. In other words, the OP couldn't apply for L6 at this time???

    Level 4 fitness test

    Done mine today, nice and straightforward. A few guys were 10 to 20m short and will have to go again, but the other 40 or so who were there all passed. I wasted a load of effort doing 2900m, still struggle getting the pace right, but all done for the year anyway.

    2016-2017 Training Wear

    Yep, checked with Sporting Touch and the left-side badge is embroidered, and they can add to any garment including the training wear. Embroidery adds £6 to the order. Makes them better value than A&H at "list price" although they too have extortionate delivery charges. Something to consider...

    2016-2017 Training Wear

    Do Sporting Touch provide the same full size heat transfer FAMOA badge? That's always been the A&H difference, it's the proper badging.
