Mike Odgers Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 With the F A who do not allow any extension to the season, I note Saltash who are in contention for four titles are now beginning to fixture 3 games per week eg. 28/3 away v Falmouth (L), 30/3 v Launceston (L), 1/4 v Falmouth (C) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 No problem, Combo been playing 3 games a week from mid-April for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Absolutely ridiculous for the FA to expect players to play every other day. Do they not take into account that these guys all go to work as well. What is the issue with extending into the first 2 weeks of May? Can anyone give a logical reason as to why this can’t happen? why don’t they build in a contingency couple of weeks to fall back on in the event of a bad winter?

Paul Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Totally agree. Especially as there is no play offs in this region. Playing 3 games a week is not ideal for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby191 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Haven’t looked across the leagues but teams already fixtured in the SWPL east to play a Saturday then a Sunday. FA need to extend the season as it’s dangerous. Players will get injured. At grass roots level do teams need to be playing 40+ games with cups. Would it be the end of the world if leagues like the SWPL were 18 teams. Just reducing it by 2 teams could theoretically free up a month of Saturday’s for the inevitable games that need to be caught up on. Lots of players will not be relishing playing 3 times a week for a month with family and work.
