We Two Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hopefully there will be an early decision made on the Witheridge v Sticker game. If Sticker can reproduce the form they showed in the Good Friday game against St Austell, the trip will be worthwhile. Some stunning goals scored, and an enjoyable game which Sticker were unlucky not to draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobjfh Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hate to ask this, but looking at the forecast and number of games already scheduled - is there provision within the SWPL to award games rather than rescheduling them - there simply aren’t enough days left and already asking teams to play 4+ games a week with potentially 2 or 3 long away games a week is not sustainable and most squads are not big enough to cope with injuries / work / suspensions etc. I am not suggesting arbitrary awarding of wins and I know it is not want any of us want and may seem unfair - but there looks little choice - if a Referre states the pitch is unplayable award it as a draw??

Bobjfh Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Putting things in capitals does not make them right. Most would actually agree that an extension would be desirable - but you know the league as a Step 6 (and 7) is governed by national rules (not the CCFA before you start on that) and has a final cut off date - I think first weekend in May. The SWPL will not get permission for an extension and i’m sure it’s been said before that if the league fails to comply with national rules it could see teams being barred from promotions or FA Cup or Vase fixtures. So working on 5 weeks of the season left - what are the options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 FROM THE CORNWALL FA ON TWITTER CORNWALL SENIOR CUP FINAL Unfortunately the weather has beaten us. Despite holding off in best hopes of the bad weather not arriving the pitch is now unplayable and with the weather forecast indicating much more rain this evening and overnight we have had to admit defeat and call tomorrow’s Senior Cup Final off. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to St Blazey FC for continuing throughout the day to try and keep the game on on our behalf. I am sure you will understand that we will continue our best endeavours to try and find an alternative date as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAPPO Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Haha seriously though Dave I live about a mile from the ground and it’s horrendous up here at the moment! Raining buckets! Be water polo by 2pm tomorrow afternoon. Sensible early decision. I’m sure neither side would want to play such an important game on anything less than a decent surface ??

But you have to agree Bob that this is when everyone loses any respect (if you have any left) for the FA. They know full well that the SWPL is not affected by play-off games being necessary and so therefore they could show some empathy and agree to at least say an extension of 10 days or so.

Dave - I do whole heartedly agree, but just trying to be pragmatic and look at the hard choices - with teams having 16/15/14 games to play in 34 days (and a Senior Cup final) something has to give - with probably more cancellation tomorrow and mid week it is not a solution to postpone again.

Definitely needs to be an extention Dave, we have to play 15 games in 33 days as from weds 4th, and with the forecast for more rain it will end up being every day!! Surely the FA have to think of player safety, after all thats why a lot of the games are being called off...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Its been raining in St Blazey since 1ish and theres been no let up since. What a pain this weather is.

Fanfare Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 The FA are only concerned with the pro game and the upper echelons of the football pyramid. They don't really care about grass roots football. It's common sense to extend but remember the FA's power isn't that great, the clubs and the Premier League dictate what they want to do. Maybe the SWPL should do the same!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
