Drove past a park earlier and it was sad to see 0 football being played. Its the 2nd weekend of no football.
I remember many moons ago. Football on a Sunday was like church for some. Yet here in surrey it seems to be dieing off.
What's it like in the town? |  |

Not Ipswich related, but in the 90's I used to play Saturday and Sunday football over at Enfield Playing Fields, must be 15 or so pitches there, and getting a pitch was like gold dust. Absolutely rammed both days. Used to be a waiting list to get a pitch. Now at weekends, there might be 3 or 4 pitches in use at a time. Definitely dying off. |  |

SEH league was also the Little David league as well from memory. I'm pretty sure I played against Stow Vandals back in the day, presumably in same division. Other great names I recall being Bristar, Armada, Northam Celtic, Italia. |
Oxborrows, Man On The Moon, Silver Star all had very decent teams mid 90's |  | | |

Again, not Ipswich related, but illustrative of the general decline, the Telford Sunday League which used to have 6 divisions now has 2. Most of the teams are still 'pub representative' though.
Quite a number of the longer standing Sunday teams switched to Saturday when the local FA created a new Step 12 Saturday league just before Covid hit. |  | | |

yup, my end, Gypeswick, had 4 pitches, Chantry Park several. Some are now 'wildlife' areas, i.e the council don't touch them! No more marking out, putting up/taking down posts, and maintaining changing rooms, which was a feature of some parks. Gypeswick when I was a kid had a bowls green! |
Worst job was digging out rock hard footings for goalposts in August. I can still feel the clangggg and vibrations when I banged my spade down! |  | | |
