Wincanton Football Club

Are you a supporter of Wincanton Football Club in Somerset.

Would you consider starting your own Wincanton football club and building from the grass roots up?

Unless you are already a millionaire or a billionaire in some cases. Milan Mandaric once joked...I always said that the way I became a millionaire is because I’m in football, but I started as a billionaire!

To start your own football club you need people - 11 is the minimum to begin with for obvious reasons. The question is are you going to set up a professional club or are you just doing it for fun?

To set up a professional club you are going to need money to get yourself going. You're going to have to rent a ground to play your games on - pay for players and staff.

Surely a better way of starting your own football club in Wincanton is to go the amateur route - make sure there is enough demand in and around the area of Wincanton for football, if there is already competition in the area which is likely then are there enough numbers to support your fledgling club?

Due to the poor British weather if you create a facility that caters for both indoor and outdoor football you will be able to play all year round.

If you can have facilities that offer more for everybody:

Indoor/Outdoor playing areas
Locker rooms / changing areas for both sexes
Concession area
Balcony viewing area
Fully heated and air conditioned.
