and im sure its was Eldanfire and Exile who shot my original post down in flames as an April fool. Regardless its time to move onwards and upwards

What the hell is going on and what are we going to be left with if all this is true? The same set up we had before we were awarded 2012?

Just heard that Mr Ericksonn is off to be new head coach of Canadian Athletics ?? Anyone else heard this. So much for having faith in the system.........

Quick question, anyone out there know if there are any uk/europe/world male u20 records for pentathlon with 60h, long, shot, high, 60m combination?

I find it most unfair to ask a club to run a facility, it is hard enough to get members to officiate let alone accept responsibility for the pole vault stands being erected safely, or hammer cage nets being safe. Rotherham can afford to keep it open, this is purely politics of a labour council. The...

Hi Looking for volunteers for what may well be the last open meeting to be held at Middlesbrough's Clairville Stadium. 2013 Sees the 50th Anniversary of our track after its official opening in June 1963 by HRH the Duke Of Edinburgh. Unfortunately as many of you will know this track is due for closur...

Poster boy AA top eight? my a..e he is top 32 maybe if only 33 turn up...........................

Northern Indoor Champs Day 1

Highlight for me Amy Williams 1st year under 17 11.95m triple jump

Carl Lewis can go kiss my proverbial behind, he still gets awards for being a "Great Olympian" while we rightly castigate people like Dwain Chambers for past misdemeanours. Lewis and his like should have their names and achievements removed from the record books like any drugs cheat. Here'...

It was not athlete eyes that said that It was me, He is one of the people slagging off those coaches. its weak and cowardly especially when the coaches seem to achieve something that most have not in an event where results are hard to get and things are dominated by Jamaican and the Yanks. Soory so...

I have read these posts with some interest and dismay. I only know a lot of the people on here by reputation and not personally but I have to agree with athleteseyes how many of you would actually repeat what you are saying if you had to do it under your own names? Not many I would guess

We could open a book on who we think wil get these posts a predicition contest if you like?

Excellent well done Chell. Lets hope they remember this when the Job interviews are held........................

This isn't really new, news tho is it. The UKA coaching fraternity have known about this since before the game. Certain ones need to go and to be honest I can't see the ones who don't make the cut being appointed at England. In fact I think some of the England ones may find themselves at UKA and oth...

I think Kingmaker is confused. UKA have caused much devastation with their poaching policy, and regardless of the little bit of occasional poaching which went on before UKA, what UKA have done is deplorable and anyone trying to draw comparisons is simply obsfucating. UKA SUCK and everything they di...

Just came across this on T&F news from last month and cant seem to find it anywhere on here. Apologies if already covered Last weekend (0ctober 6th/7th) at the Kokutai Games Yoshihide Kiryu ran 10.21 (0.1m/s) to break Rynell Parson's world youth 100m best of 10.23 from 2007. It's also a world ag...

I have much respect for John Powell, and he has been making good progress with his athletes over many years. I remember when Chris Lambert left under similar circumstances a few years back. What I would also observe however, is that John does not really help beginner or even intermediate young athl...

is or was

dodoo tried the same sly tactics with a very promising manchester sprinter last year, going through the parents first promising the earth but the parents the earth and as John Powell says the "Holy Grail" . Thankfully that failed as the athlete told his coach about the approach but he is p...

Having just read the article on this site re Entrants in NYC Maratahon wnating their money back http://www.athleticsweekly.com/news/british-marathoners-in-new-york-want-money-back/ I go to say I'm appalled. These people seriously need to get a grip on reality in my view. At least they are alive and ...

Well said mump, I for one totally agree with you on thst one

Is it a form of nepotism? I did bring this very subject up with an EA National Coach Mentor a few weeks ago myself after it occured to me that 98% of the CCSO's were white on their website. He said they were aware of it but if the non white candidates don't apply what can they do, but they were &quo...

Have just read the "offending"? letter. cannot see why is was taken down from this site. As "a coach of colour" myself on the outside of this debate I see a lot that makes sense in what mump boy is saying but I also think a lot of the National Coaches who have been in place recen...

hate to say I told you so, hope it works out for him

Tom Parsons to Aston Moore? And John Herbert loses two promising charges to him too. Strange when he finds it difficult to keep tabs on just one athlete
