Downend Flyers FC

Meet our new head coach Kyle!

Kyle will predominantly be with the womens first team, but will help oversee the rest of the womens section and excellent pathway!

Welcome Kyle 💜🖤

Come and join us for the next instalment of our Pre Season preparations! LET’S GO! 💜

✨ A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN. ✨

Yesterday marked the start of something special at Downend Flyers Women’s FC.

We brought over 40 of our coaches together at Pomphrey Hill for the first Coaches Breakfast with our new Club Head Coach, Kyle Edwards, as he shared his vision for the future of our club. 💜

And what a future it is for our 420+ players who are already part of the largest all-female football club in the South West with a clear pathway for players to develop and progress! We have BIG ambitions for where we can take this club.

Kyle has been working on a new coaching curriculum and our Club DNA, creating a shared approach across every team, from our youngest players through to senior football.

The aim is simple: development, opportunity and ambition…
A club where every player knows what they’re working towards.
A club where every coach is pulling in the same direction.
A club where our players can grow, develop and dream big.

Yesterday wasn’t just a coaches meeting.

It was the beginning of something beautiful. 💜

The next chapter of Downend Flyers has begun... And we’re only getting started. 🦅⚽

🚨 JOHNSONS ROAD – COMMUNITY UPDATE

We can confirm that the unauthorised encampment at Johnsons Road has now vacated the site after 5 days.

However, the site has unfortunately been left in an unsafe and unacceptable condition and requires professional cleaning before it can safely return to community use.

Downend Flyers FC will not be using Johnsons Road until the site has been professionally assessed, cleaned and confirmed as safe by the Council.

The level of waste left behind is significant and includes:
• Human waste
• Household rubbish
• Garden and green waste
• Building materials, including concrete and wood
• Waste believed to be associated with rogue trader activity

The condition of some areas is particularly concerning, and we strongly advise members of the public not to enter areas of the site unnecessarily until it has been professionally cleaned.

⚠️ Dog walkers: Please be especially cautious and do not allow dogs off lead at Johnsons Road until the site has been properly cleaned and made safe. There may be hazardous or contaminated waste that is not immediately visible.

📢 PLEASE HELP US REPORT IT
Our plea to local residents, members and the wider community is to report the fly-tipping and condition of the site directly to South Gloucestershire Council using the link below:
👉 https://beta.southglos.gov.uk/report-fly-tipping/

The more reports the Council receives, the clearer the scale of the problem and its impact on the local community will be.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the local residents and community members who have supported Downend Flyers throughout this difficult period, particularly those who have remained vigilant and reported suspicious behaviour to the appropriate authorities.

The unauthorised encampment has had a huge impact on our club, preventing more than 500 football players from accessing training and matches at Johnsons Road.
We are incredibly grateful for the patience and support shown by our players, parents, coaches, volunteers and the wider community, including Emerson’s Green FC who were kind enough to allow us some space for some teams to train.
