    13 days to our next friendly. . .

    and still no word from the JFF as to whether the game is on or not. If they cannot make the call, how do they organize other things to fall in place in time for this match? I mean, I would consider going down to Florida for the match, but you cannot plan anything with such uncertainty.

    I am wondering if the technical team (Bora and his crew) can arrange with our top players to be available with such short notice? This is frustrating to say the least!

    The word out of the JFF -I made the call yesterday as promised - is discussions are still ongoing. A contract has not yet been signed.

      I wonder at what point they are going to consider that it nah goh mek? Do they think they can still do it with a week to go? What about advertising the game and getting fans to attend etc?

        The problem is that staements from the JFf are selectively posted on this board to suit someones agenda. I did hear fo a release today that said that a press conference is called for Monday to announce a 'series' of games FOR MARCH

        Two matches for Under 23's in feb, 2 for under 17's IN FEBand based on the news reports I heard this evening it could be two for March

        isnt that what they promised?

          <SPAN>I hope this is not another case of the Captain sobatoging the current JFF admin? I am just concerned that time is running out and it does not seem as if they are in a position to make an announcement.</SPAN>

            I assume you are based in Jamaica George?90% of the people who post here are based outside of Jamaiac...and dont have access to the local electronic media. So thanks for giving us the heads up on the planned news conference. Thats exactly the type of Info we were looking for. Not sure what kind of "agenda" you are speaking of though. We are merely trying to get info!

              Agreed, RF. JFF needs to move fast on any announcement of the friendlies. I see main purpose of these friendlies are two fold; more practice matches for ballers, and some dollars for the federation. We can not expect anything more than a few crumb$ if the event is not promoted adequately.

                Re: "Some dollars for the Federation"

                The problem with some within the JFF is shortsightedness. I once heard a JFF official remark in a casual setting that there is no need to promotethese types of matches. TheFederation is already guaranteed a fee and makes nothing from thesale of tickets.

                It appeared then and it could be the case now that no thought is given to the marketplace being competitive andpromoters (FAs or private persons and or entities) 'dropping' and or inviting less frequently thecountry/opponent that does not help them to turn a profit by filling the seats.

                ...and,then there are the associated benefits - - e.g. increasing 'brand recognition', etc...which over time would translate into money for the JFF? - able to make better deals with promoters, media outlets, sports goods manafacturers and distributors,merchandising,etc? ...attract increasing number of sponsors and sponsors with deeper pockets, etc?
