ffffff,hit it on the head, i was just replying to the cost of balls and leather was right,all sorts being used above in the boro,point being there is a lot of suppliers out there and to be fair to most of them the quality is ok, just looking after my own corner.

to be honest wether hes a rep for a big company the makes sports gear shouldnt have any effect on the way his team plays other than the fact that he probably has more trainin gear than the rest of the league combined,my original problem,which i have now solved is that we as junior clubs are being offered the best matchballs money can buy ,buy these big retail outlets and companys,i've done checkin on this over the last couple of days and as i previously said those same companies make matchballs specificaly 4 junior football,thet just try to get us to buy the expensive one first,the rep for errea knows this they sell a senior match ball for 50 euro,probably costs them a fiver to make,there junior match ball costs 30 euro probably cost less than a fiver to make,yet those same companys sell them 2 us for top dollar,how about errea give every team in the league 2 balls at the start of the season as a show of good faith and then if we need some more during the season we pay for them...............

any club that is buying sports equipment during the season should be able to wangle a couple of free balls out of there reps,and to be honest about my clubs gear i dont get involved with the buying of it for obvious reasons and it avoids conflict afterwards.
