Danielburt8 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Both teams ready to play for the second time and it’s called off. I get the weather isn’t amazing at the minute but if it was a Saturday today I’m sure 90% of games would be going ahead. You would think we would be able to find a ground to get this semi final sorted tonight. Looks like another week without football for exiles this is great preparation for the semi final ????

8 quid Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Why on earth make such an early call on a game with a 7-30 ko ????????????,Also did anyone not try asking Sticker or Godolphin (both have lights) about a possible late change of venue,seems a big lack of forward thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmer06 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Very strange to make the call so early. Play it somewhere else. Or, considering Newquay agreed to play it at their place, shouldn’t a qualified referee make the call a bit later in the day considering it’s dry now? Get your secretaries to phone the Cornwall FA and get it played. Surely any pitch in cornwall with lights/4G would be appropriate, St Stephen played 45/50 minutes away from home last night (with traffic) 30+ people are ready to travel/play and also fans have probably made arrangements, I would be annoyed if it happened to us. Several phone calls would get this sorted. Find a pitch, notify the referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could understand if it was bad weather or the pitch was holding water ect but by the sounds of it it’s just being called off for their game Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case Newquay shouldn’t of accepted to host. I still think a qualified referee should of done the inspection at about 3pm given the importance of getting it played.

bighairydave Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 The County can’t force Newquay to let the game be played, it is their ground they can do as they please. Godolphin’s pitch looked pretty good after last night perhaps they could have helped, but with so many games still to be played I’m sure it was much harder than they think!

Mrgreen Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 A gentleman much more intelligent than myself, once told me...Before you criticise to much, ask yourself, have YOU volunteered yet. If the answer is. NO, then perhaps you should pipe down. Just an observation, not aimed at anyone in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangle Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Volunteered yet? For what? You and that gentleman are much more intelligent than me, I have no idea what your point is? Surely the point here is regarding the Cornish FA making suitable arrangements for the County Junior Cup Semi Final to be played? Of course, the weather has been quite obnoxious lately, but this well observed fact (pretty poor weather) should have been factored into any arrangements. It did not creep up upon us. If the pitch was unplayable tonight after a fine day, it would surely have been unplayable for at least the last 2 or 3 days as well, so I would have thought some other “plan B” arrangements could have been sorted, and contact made with both clubs to discuss alternative arrangements. If the decision was as simple as Newquay calling the game off at 10am in game day, it seems a bit short sighted. But what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendronOfficial Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 The CCFA are not always to blame. Hardly any clubs have come forward to host finals or semis this season, despite being approached. Frustrating for definite, but I imagine it is for all parties.

secretscout Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Some of the comments are great. Has anyone thought that perhaps the pitch was used on Saturday in already saturated conditions, it has rained since then and therefore has had no time to dry out? Given the lack of football the last 3 months I dare say people would do anything to get a game on and to see a game, but not to the lengths that the pitch is unplayable and potentially dangerous to the players.
