Droitwich Football

Please click on the links above for info on local Football League Websites.

There has been a massive dip in football teams in Droitwich over the last 20 years. We have seen a steady, but alarming slump in the towns entity of Footy.

Why is this? Well....cost has got to be one of them. A club has to charge subs to every player...around a fiver now I guess...and who wants to pay a fiver to play on a cold wet Sunday morning? And who wants to be punished financially for a dodgy comment, or a bad refereeing decision? And who wants to play against footballs who think they're Lionel Messi?

Running a club ain't cheap either. Referee cost, pitch costs, insurance, kit, balls, and it usually all comes down to one or two ardent football fans who has to do all the work. Playing is the easy part.

Nah! The guts has gone out of local football, especially Droitwich.

I take my hat off to the League committee's as well. They do fantastic work and keep the demise of Sunday football from decaying into oblivion. if it weren't for these folk, you wouldn't have local football.

A note also about the Referee and their Assistants. Let me ask you...would you do it? Again, if it weren't for these, no games could be played, so no league and no teams. I know we all rant and rave about 'em, but the amount of crap they have to put up with, they're allowed a dodgy decision now and again.

And, although I praise the League Committee & Refs, I still think the need to give out so many fines is also having a negative effect on the game. Perhaps a little more leverage is required. Not all clubs should be tarred with the same brush. Award the good, kick out the bad.

If you want to join any of the Leagues in this area, please go to their respective link page and get in touch with the secretary. If I have one recommendation, it would be for the Bromsgrove League. An extremely well run League with very informative website. It also has a facebook page.

Droitwich Football hopes football in Droitwich will return to greatness one day!

Only 8 teams represent Saturday & Sunday Football in the West Midlands area.

It doesn't seem too long ago that the Droitwich Cup ran pre season with loads of sides in it. I ran Salvesen FC in the Kidderminster League and the Droitwich Cup was a fantastic comp. I think it ran for just two seasons but there was a Senior and Minor Cup ran on a group basis before thefinal. Great days!!"
