footy pitches?

[ibbo]

just been playing down at crossford bridge in sale with my mates on the grass, then this women comes over sayin she is the health and safety officer for the club(sale united who play their) and says it is private land and we cant play as if we get injured we aint insured. FFS it is only a kick around and if got injured wudn't be trying to sue.
anyway i always thought this was a public park as their is no signs sayin private property.
does anyone know if she is telling the truth?

I coach an under 8's football team and some bloke is suing our football club because he tripped on our playing fields and hurt his ankle. Although we pay rent to the council they have passed the buck to us
Before we set up the team we had to buy public indemnity insurance and personal indemnity insurance
It is a sad but true reflection of today and the ambulance chasing solicitors with their no win no fee libel cases.
When all said and done it's about the youngsters having a kick about in an organised way.

Jumpers for Goalposts, not any more........

yeah ive had this problem mate, was playing cricket once and got told to get off the field because we shouldnt be there. it sometimes makes you think that people would rather us taking drugs and breaking into houses than having a game of cricket on a field.

If every chav and his wife weren't trying to sue everyone, then people wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that.

The problem isn't the people that own the pitches... it's the brain dead idiots who try to make a fast buck by suing all and sundry.

me and a load of my mates had the same problem when trying to find pitches round sale/altrincham. where do they expect people to play? young people get encouraged to go do something productive, and there's no bastard place to do it!
