Update

[lazarus]

I confirm that the match between Wembley and Windsor has now been postponed, greatly to Wembley's annoyance.

 

The advice and information I received from various parties was that trouble was not anticipated at Vale Farm nor along the route that Windsor would be likely to take. The Club though were unwilling to travel and I gave them the same advice that I have given one or two others who have contacted me, which is that, whilst one match in particular is postponed (at Croydon) and the others still on, that if a club feels that their players are genuinely at risk, they should call the match off and the matter will be sorted out later.

 

We could have called every match in the League off which I am sure would have been criticised but equally I do not feel I can insist upon a club travelling against its will in the present circumstances.

 

All other games are on at the moment but there could be further late postponements, hopefully not at Hartley Wintney where I am now heading. It's been quite a day: Guernsey have just contacted me to say their kit has gone missing at Gatwick. Fortunately HW are standing by to provide a spare set if it does not come to light in time.

The animals at Chessington have more sense and are better behaved than the idiots that you see on the news

I can understand Windsor not wanting to go to Wembley on a tuesday night because of the riots, but Farnham not going to Chessington Im not so sure about that one,I know Linden had a player play last night who came from Hackney,and one from Dulwich, and one from Crystal Palace so it could be done, saying that this was an unusual situation and I hope the league allow these games to be played at a later date
