Playford management have, finally, reached the end of their tether with matchday lateness\u2026 and yes, we\u2019re looking at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a growing trend<\/em> of players cutting it fine, or in some cases treating kick-off like a flexible suggestion, the decision has been made to bring in some long-overdue consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coach Josh Bolton didn\u2019t mince his words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBoys, after a couple of discussions the past couple of weeks about lateness we are gonna start clamping down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you arrive after 9:50 you are gonna find yourself on the bench. The last couple weeks we\u2019ve had people arrive late and still start and it isn\u2019t fair on others who arrive on time. So from next week if you arrive after the scheduled meet there\u2019s a high chance you could find yourself on the bench and the lineup being altered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short: Management have stressed that it\u2019s about fairness as much as anything\u2014those turning up on time shouldn\u2019t be losing their place to someone arriving mid-warm-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So consider this your friendly warning: You\u2019ve been told\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Playford management have, finally, reached the end of their tether with matchday lateness\u2026 and yes, we\u2019re looking at you.
