Mike Odgers Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Phil has regained his crown from the Northern League as to issuing the first League fixtures for 2014/15.However he was pipped by the Scottish Highland League who seem to be the first in Britain.

Paul Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 No mid week football for St Blazey in August. A first for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Saving midweek fixtures for fa.cup teams only paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 St.Blazey looking likely to miss the cut for F A Cup acceptance and have League games fixtured for the F A Cup Saturdays Aug.16th & 30th.F A vase starts on Sat 6th.Sept.So it does look strange to see no midweek games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Noing the weather and tradition of games being called off, youd think it might be worth squeezing a few in early. Fa cup or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretscout Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Tremendous effort form Mr H.......but you always get one who isn't happy. All games will be played, so what is the problem? Everyone is quick to criticise, but not so forthcoming in offering a hand.......... Well done Mr H, keep up the great work, you're doing a sterling job!

Paul Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 If your having a dig, save your energy. I wasnt moaning. Its just a thought on the fixtures that have come out. The forum is for thoughts on these kind of subjects. Of course the fixtures get played. Tell us something new. But having a back log in the final month isnt ideal. So a month where theres almost no chance of games being off is ideal to have mid week football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Agree totally. I have never understood why there are so few evening fixtures in the first few weeks of the season - they always seem to attract a good gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yet again Godolphin and Newquay are fixtured home and away at the same time on no less than 8 occasions ,this is hurting both clubs financially as some supporters will watch both teams, you would have thought that they could be fixtured home and way at different dates.

baldy Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Baz, your comment has been picked by Phil H and I have asked if he would consider a fixture reversal with opponents permission to alleviate the perceived problem. 3 fixture reversals would sort out 6 dates as teams are the same (Bovey & Elb, Elb & Cally, With & Elmore). The other 2 (Launc & Parkway, St Blz & St Aust) each need a separate reversal making 5 in all. If Phil does not object then the wheels can be put in motion.

Home Waters Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hang on a minute we are playing on 8 occasions the same as another plymouth club , its a bit tough but thats life. Plus of course clashes with ivybridge, saltash and torpoint , where each club gains from those clubs followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 What if saltash & liskeard play same weekends...surely if asked then phil will have to accomodate them aswell, same with bodmin & wadebridge, falmouth & penryn, st.blazey & st.austell.....could go on forever, probably best left as they are or phil hiscox might be inundated with requests for fixture changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I did not know Saltash and Liskeard were in the same town or Bodmin & Wadebridge ,Falmouth & Penryn would have a case but they are in different league level and do not play each other Newquay & Godolphin are within a mile of each other. When clubs are fighting for every penny of income a possible extra 20 or 30 spectators makes all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek martyn Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Totally agee with Bazzer. The Newquay/Godolphin situation should be given special consideration by the league due to the close proximity of the 2 clubs playing in the "same town". There is no other comparible situation in the league, including any of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek martyn Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 As Bazzer said the 2 clubs are only a mile or so apart so the above two are a different equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Never thought I'd agree with Derek on anything, but he, Bazzer and all those who have complained, including me, for years about the Newquay / Godolphin fixtures fiasco are of course right. Now that Godolphin have floodlights, the task of changing some fixtures will be easier, but why were NQY & G not just scheduled home & away on the same Saturdays ? Surely that was not too difficult to do ? As for other clubs, if they have a problem, perhaps they too should complain... or are they happy to just sit meekly by and let a potential £2k+ a season drift down the road.
