massimo Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 This league does not look very encouraging for Justin. What kind of league is this. Do any players ever make it from this league? I've looked at the league's average attedance and it is 374.

Desigol Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Bury is in Greater Manchester. Hornchurch is in Essex. Some journey by Road, but then he's used to the long journey by Plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren in the UK Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 This league is a below the Conference it is full of part-timers, such as carpenters and postmen. In my opinion I think he should forget about this league and go to the A-League. The A-League us definately of higher calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 And with 5 Canadian A-league teams this year, you'd think there would be room for him somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 why would he do that? clinging onto a chance at a career in a conference league? hoping to make connections? c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill time and keep in some degree of shape until the A-League season starts? Thats my best guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 i had a thought. maybe he kinda realized his career is not coming to what he hoped and would like to have some time in ireland and get paid to do it! sounds like a good idea to me!

CanadasBest Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Maybe he's had to go to the lower leagues because of work permit issues? He doesn't have a EU passport does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northern ireland fan Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 bettermirror, why would he want to go to ireland when Hornchurch is in Essex beside London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batch Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 quote:Originally posted by gwallace76 Maybe he's had to go to the lower leagues because of work permit issues? He doesn't have a EU passport does he? AS far as i know it wouldnt have anything to do with work permit's. To gain a work permit over here you need to have played 75% of your nations last 10 competetive games. There are times when the rules will be bent i.e if a player has been injured for his countries last 10 games etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odawg Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Justin is the ****. He's just had a string of bad luck but once he get's on a team and shows he can play, he'll be out of hornchuch and into third and second division in know time. All he needs is a chance and he'll definately perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
