Nothing saucy was written just inappropriate stuff was being said so it was gotten rid of. Carolyn's javelin coordinator position was announced in Athletics Weekly this week so it's now all official.

Deleting the whole thread for a couple of comments is a bit extreme! Especially without a post letting us know what happened or why. Is there any possibility just deleting the offending posts in future rather than the whole discussion? Whether you agreed with what was being said or not it was one of the most beefy discussion on here for a while. |

Not sure what happened to this thread I'm afraid. I guess Sam may have removed it. The main thing is that posts on here shouldn't really get too personal and perhaps the reason it was removed was because of just that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I guess there is a time and a place for it.
perhaps you can carry on the discussion from where it left off although I'm not sure where that was myself!

Think it must have been the other james - jimbo that said that. I missed virtually all of the conversation.

I remember someone mentioning that the job was being advertised then someone said the date to apply for it had already gone by. Can't remember who said what.

Last thing I posted was what was said at the Sheffield Presentation by Dave Collins re athletes funding etc
I wondered if it became a downward spiral from there? There was some harsh things said including a cut in athletes funded, some discussions re coach partnerships etc
They would have quite a personal effect on a lot of people on these boards

The thread in question had nothing to do with the performance plan but the appointment of Carolyn Franks - it went off on a tangent when a few peeps didn't know her and mentioned some obtuse comments. It was getting a bit tetchy when Sam deleted the whole thread. At the end of the day a storm in a tea cup

www.ukathletics.net/vsite/vnavsite/page/directory/0,10853,4854-171027-188245-nav-list,00.html The presentation and notes Dave Collins gave are on the link above. Essentially performance funding will go to those who have a chance of making top 8 or podium places. Hes looking at 40 ish peeps at performance level and 80 ish on development/potential. Thats less than those currently funded now but the support those people get will be better than current standards. This means you can be the countries best javelin thrower but still not get funding! (unless you have a top 8 chance for a world olympic final)
