Yesterday there was only one ball boy in front of the east stand,consequently the MK keeper had to get the ball a couple of times himself and waste at least 40 seconds each time. There was a problem for us when we had throw ins and corners in that area
What is the problem I thought ballboys were provided by the club

There was a problem for us when we had throw ins and corners in that area What is the problem I thought ballboys were provided by the club It was odd. There were four ballboys in front of the North stand, one in front of the East stand and none in front of the South stand that I could see (didn't notice how many at the fence end). If for some bizarre reason we only had five ballboys available, why not put one near each corner and the other on the halfway line in front of the North stand (there are plenty of people in the equivalent position on the South stand side).

4 when we were drawing, 1 when we were winning! I'm fine with that!

It's the youth team usually, no? Did they have a game? Seems strange to be short

This has been happening a fair bit recently. We used to have loads of them, but these days they're few and far between!

Yeah I noticed that one lad jumped over the front of south stand to kick the ball back nice touch as well first time. Better effort than their manager who skewed his pass back behind the advertising board then looked away embarassed.
Also their keeper Martin was having a go at a camera man in front of east who wouldnt pass it when it was right nxt to him made him come get it himself. Que a "your dad was shit as well" shout was he Nigel martins boy? or have I just wooshed myself

Hi there everyone. I am one of the ballboys. (The young one) And i can see what you guys are saying. At most games there are 4 or 5 on the fence end. I can speak to the rest of the ballboys and see what is happening

I can speak to the rest of the ballboys and see what is happening It doesn't appear to be very well organised. At a minimum I think we need 3 on either and 2 behind the goal. Who is in charge? How are you recruited? What training do you get? It all seems a bit lackadaisical.
