fudge Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 this weekends game has been called off already by newlyn due to the leisure center saying there pitch isnt fit to play! absulutely gutted as we have a dry forcast all week and us guys want to play football!! surely common sense would say check the pitch on a friday or saturday morning rather than the start of the week?

You have plenty of notice to arrange an alternative venue though? Reverse it? Find a 3G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge Posted December 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 its just a joke!! pitch hasnt bin played on for 2-4 weeks!!! they have apparently tryed to arrange a 3g pitch but its a no go because the school is shut for holidays which i can belive but surely someone would be free to open a changing room etc.End of the day i think anyone or any organisation calling of a game on a tuesday is taking the piss when a pitch inspection on a saturday morning could be done,were not travelling from manchester!!!!!!

Fanfare Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Maybe that's why it hasn't been played on for 2-4 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Speaking to a Trelawny League committee member on sat at our game he said there was a backlog of nearlly 100 games before Saturday. Surely teams should try and do more to get games on ? With the shortage of refs also this is gonna be a long season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be staffing levels as it is Xmas weekend and as most firms lots on holiday and probably only skeleton staff , not ideal but as BD states they own the pitch and they can dictate when and if it is available , enjoy your Xmas and hopefully in the new year we have more refs available , dry weather no more clubs folding .Good luck to all clubs , officials and volunteers at your clubs you all deserve a pat on the back without you we have no local football .

Surely teams should try and do more to get games on ? With the shortage of refs also this is gonna be a long season Correct - Dave James has his work cut out for him at the moment. Unfortunately the backlog will only mean one thing in realistic terms - more midweek fixtures in April and May; some teams may even find themselves playing three times a week. Double headers will of course help ease the backlog if both teams agree, however they are not inclined too. The weather has not helped at all and the referee shortage certainly hasn't either - Unfortunately both have a massive effect on the League fixtures. We can't help the weather but it would have been great if more teams had a volunteer ready to referee (perhaps the clubs could help fund a referee course along with help from the League/County)? That said, it's also been known this season where teams have offered their opposition a volunteer referee, only for them to decline? Is it time to adjust the League Rules so that if a volunteer comes forward, the game has to be played? This rule already exists but only comes into play during the "ordered period". For me, I'd like to see games kicking off earlier in August (first week) so that we can take advantage of the dry weather and the sunshine - playing on a pitch regularly in the "sunny" months will also have less of a cosmetic effect than in the "wet" months.

This!! Stevie knows what’s what! Fudge there are loads of pitches around, try to find an alternative if you’re desperate to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
