It was working when we were there but that was a few months ago.

I'm all for making the league look professional but there's players to pay, pitches (bad ones, maybe) to fix... prioritize... why bother with the little touches when some of the basics haven't been worked out?

We've a scoreboard too, but it's stuck on 60-12 to us. Not complaining, mind!

Because the first thing people give out about IMO and first impressions last, give these people less excuses to stay away from LOI grounds, most people are happy with the illusion things are being done right and couldn't care less about whats really happening but at the moment lots of grounds look amatureish

Keen2win, you should know that there is fuuck all children out in Flancare as with alot of clubs, but the clubs still have to pay, and worry about paying this officer when the need is not there. i reiterate: i'm not saying that its not important.

a child welfare officer should be thought of when the basics are sorted first.

Can anyone enlighted me as to what a child welfare officers' responsibilties are?

**pineapple stu** · 08/07/2009, 8:46 AM

I think it's to go on a course about Child Welfare, and that's it. Don't bugger kids, don't be alone with them in dark alleys, make sure everyone in your club knows those rules, pick up a certificate and off home you go.

thank you stu. its basically a cert and weekly expense in common sense.

**pineapple stu** · 09/07/2009, 8:56 AM

How's it a weekly expense?

**Mr A** · 09/07/2009, 9:04 AM

In common sense.

**pineapple stu** · 09/07/2009, 9:23 AM

Damnably expensive, I hear.

Cut back on it and buy enough paint to cover 200 square yards of wall, I say.

**Longfordian** · 09/07/2009, 11:09 AM

The Child Welfare officer doesn't get paid a bob. The players barely get paid.

**Duggie** · 09/07/2009, 11:12 AM

a child welfare officer..FFS. sure barely anyone goes to the games, doubt there's much need for one.

**pineapple stu** · 09/07/2009, 11:17 AM

But it's just a title for a nominated official in order to tick a box on licencing. The person would be involved with the club anyway. It's no extra cost (bar the course maybe), so what's the problem? It's not like a club could cut back on the post and use the money saved to buy leather subs' benches, or, as LTFC suggests -
