eoflwatcher Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 After reading yesterdays topic and being fairly shocked at some comments thought id lighten the mood on here, being as the forum is surely meant for gentle banter and opinions.......... Predictions for opening day of season? - any predicted shocks? Mine are are follows:- Buck Hill 2-1 Hutton Hannakins 1-2 Frenford - very tough start for champions Harold Hill 3-0 Manford - Hill to get off to a flyer Wood 1-1 Hamians Rayleigh 2-1 Ensign - Strong side at home Rayleigh Southminster 2-0 Alborough - Minster getting off to good start Many games to choose to go and watch, shame all 2.30 ko and cant get to more than 1 fixture.

Stop Whinging Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Why isn't there a full list of Premier League fixtures this week. No Kelvedon or M and B ...surely clubs in the profile division should all be made to play on the first saturday of the season. Weddings etc etc holidays no pitch (move the fixtures around) are not acceptable excuses. I think fixtures will be a bit of an issue this season .....Can't predict the results wait for a little bit of form. Speaking to players/ managers from various clubs they all think they are going to win it. Never heard a murmur from Dave Forbes last year and he did!.

eoflwatcher Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Suppose the fixture sec is only person who can answer that, seems a fair point youve made. Wouldnt know if Frenford said a word last season as only joined forum recently and with all this username debate you could be Dave Forbes for all I know haha. Agree tho "actions speak louder than words" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookey Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 While you're there, ask him why neither Basildon Town First team or Ressies have a game on the 8th despite having a pitch available??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoflwatcher Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Would have thought with last few winters we have had the fixtures early in season would of been fully filled to save on build up of games towards end of season which always seems to have a big say in title and relegation battles. Lets hope the snow stays away and not many weekends are called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I may be stupid in saying this but why is it hard to do the fixtures Why don't they keep the same fixtures as last season and who ever came up replaces the teams that went down and the same goes for the reserve league. Don't get me wrong their will be a couple of changes but 90 per cent could surely stay the same ????? All pitches would be avaliable unless grounds change their opening dates from year to buy on my experience they open the same time every year. As I said I may be way off the mark here !

Hookey Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Because they are letting a website that they haven't got the hang of dictate the fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop Whinging Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Wizard - it is not that easy. There are all sorts of things that need to be taken into account . For those sharing pitches ie Harold Hill use Brentwood and even where two of our clubs share the same facility or share a facility with a team outside of the League fixtures have to waited for and of course cricket!. Then there are County competitions and cup draws if a ressie is drawn at home etc etc. It is not an easy job , don't underestimate it-and not helped by clubs phoning up saying 'can we not have a game that saturday as or centre forward is going on holiday ' - it happens. Peter Godfrey ignored it (that is why a few to$$ers got the asse with him) I hope the new Fix Sec does as well (ignore it I mean but I suspect not). My point was how can a league start and two teams in the top division do not have a game. If they cannot comply with the kick off they should not be in the top division!

Hookey Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 For sure Duncan Charlick (Fixture Sec) has walked into a tough role with a new format, i.e. The Full Time website. He also has to follow the very experienced Peter Godfrey, so we should all give him our backing and support where possible. That said, it is very frustrating at this time of the season, after a dormant summer, when all we want to do is get games on and get cracking, I guess we will all just have to be patient in these early weeks and give Duncan time. .
