Is this the one that will kills us?

I hope not Harvey

I read on the ryman forum that last season-Dovers game at chatham was abandonned with two minutes left-and result allowed to stand.

 

Not sure of score-or the competition-cup or league-but i assume it was under ryman governance.

 

Does that give us hope ?

[BlueGate Alan]

Lets hope som ehh Michael, could understand a replayed game if only one goal in it, but four!!!

[the lord]

believe the referee could have a big part to play here?,if my information is correct the power cut only lasted for about 5/10 min:.

when the club tried to get the lights back on they would not work,this i believe should make canvey island f.c the club at fault.

pretty sure the referee will have this in his report

[seasidesteve]

reading that is seems it is purely a board decision but if it has to be replayed canvey must have to pay allour clubs expenses

No, it wasn't the clubs fault. The lights when out along with the rest of the Island and then refused to come back on when some power across Canvey came back.

Some is the key point there - not all of Canvey had power straight away and it would seem the floodlights were the same.

it was strange that the power came back at my house, but certain appliances were not working. The high powered ones: TV, computer etc.

[coupwotcoup]

Concord's lights went out at the same time too...

[Coffin Ender]

AB, the way I read the first bit of that is that it is pretty much at the discretion of the league.

 

MM, yes, Chatham were 3-1 up with two minutes left when the lights went.

[the lord]

it was not my intention to sugest your club had any intentions of not getting the game started.

but i am led to believe the power supply was back on at the ground?,the referee orderd the players back on the pitch?,it was then lights would not work.

this would sugest to me the fault (in the end)was with the lights.

as i see it 82 min; game STOPPED power failure,5?10min;later game on referee ready to play,few more minutes game abandoned floodlights failed.

why the lights would not come on will be down to the league officials to decide.

 

[Coxyhammer]

Isn't it normally after 75mins off the match or have they change it ?

[BlueGate Alan]

That rule finished several seasons ago unforunately.

[Coxyhammer]

I only ask Alan because sunday league still play by that rule which i think are the rules off the kent fa
