I've just declined the speedy on this, but I'm not convinced there's really enough there to pass through AfD. Don't seem to be a professional team, but I'm not very familiar with Futsal Ged  UK  05:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. It is certainly not a professional team, as futsal is not played professionally in England, but this team does play at the highest level of English futsal, and professionalism is usually used as a standard of notability for individual players, with the bar for clubs being rather lower. However futsal has a much lower profile in England than in, say, Brazil or Spain, and I can find very little independent coverage of this club. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - a top-level team of an increasingly professional sport is notable in my eyes. GiantSnowman 06:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: may well play in the top division of English futsal, but the team has not received much coverage in the media so fails the WP:GNG. Big  Dom  08:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
