Thought you might have sought opinions before you signed your son up! [:)]

Bury Rangers was originally Hertingfordbury Rangers until they moved out of Hertingfordbury. I don't think it has any link with Bury other than the name and a sponsored walk from Hertford to Bury to raise funds for the proposed new club house.

If the U6's have the same coach as last season then you have a good coach who is very fair and not too demanding of the boys.

That's interesting. My son is in the under 7's as well. I shall keep my eyes open for someone wearing a beret this Saturday. One point to note is that Hartham Common has it's own climate which is different to the rest of Hertford. On a winters Saturday morning you can still be relatively warm as you walk past the playground but as soon as you reach the football pitches the temperature drops and the wind picks up. Then it gets steadily worse during the training. It really can become desparately cold and windy. Last year we had to cancel a training session due to an encroaching glacier and the polar bears were becoming a nuisance.

.....and my two are U10s and U7s. It's a lovely club with social events like christmas parties, etc for the boys and even parents social things too. Very true about the Hartham wind tunnel effect - take lots of coats and a hip flask !
