U-23 manager informs stadium management of locker room break in
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).    

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation has written to the management of the Hasely Crawford Stadium informing them of a break in to the Locker Room used by the National Under 23 Men’s team during a training session on Sunday morning.

Following a session which commenced shortly around 8am and ended at 11:45am, it was discovered that cash amounting to $1,090 and two blackberry phones were missing.

Team manager Norris Ferguson stated that the dressing room is under the protection of stadium security. All national teams utilize the dressing rooms at the Stadium for its training sessions and the respective rooms are always under supervision of security personnel at the venue.
“It should be noted that these items were left in the dressing room provided by the Stadium Management, and were under the direct supervision of the security personnel,” Ferguson stated.

“I wish to further state that we were very unhappy that such an incident could take place when the dressing room area was supposed to be on lock down.”

Ferguson added that while the discovery raised an alarm among the Team staff and players, there was no particular unruly behavior between team members and the Stadium personnel.  He remains hopeful that the Stadium management will look towards a resolution which would involve compensation for the lost items.

The team has been training on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at the Hasely Crawford Stadium for several weeks.
T&T are  currently preparing for 2012 Olympic qualifiers. They  travel to Dominica to contest the Caribbean Football Union group phase of the Olympic qualifiers from July 20-24.

T&T will come up against  Dominica and the Netherlands Antilles. Cuba will host Guyana and Aruba in Group C to begin the first round of Caribbean Olympic qualifying for men June 23-27.

That was my first reaction to the comment too.

But I think I understand where he coming from. I don't think this is a comment about u23 footballers, as much as is a comment about how young people spend their money.

Is like when I was home for carnival a couple years back, I know people who making $2k-3k a month but buying carnival costumes, VIP Beyonce tickets, all-inclusive fete tickets and expensive clothes. I watch them and think the same thing.

(I assuming) KND assumes that since these fellas are under 23 they in school/not making no set a money, so why do they have blackberries. I might be wrong but I think that's where he was coming from.

[kicker]

KND de-rail de whole thread normal normal with one dotish post.... Now it's about why the U-23's and young people in general have bberries...

meanwhile tief BBM'ing to their hearts desires...

[Deeks]

The security in the stadium lapse badly in this case. Is the management fault these items were stolen. They need to improve the security whether is non-event or big event. No excuse.

And why U-23 have blackberries? And why not? They are big men. Some of them have left school and are working. If they want to buy a BB with their own money, there is not a damn thing we can do about it. What if they took the BB on the field, then it would have been fire and big stone. The youths put some of their valuables in the lockers, assuming the properties will be protected, but they were let down big time.

sad thing is i have played games in the stadium and our team made sure not to leave valuable things in the dressing room because the stadium has a rep for that. people stealing things from the stadium dressing is a norm.
