Smudge Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Personally think now is the time for all Non Leagues and Clubs to unite,and approach the FA as one,regards a months extension to the current season.Think it is about time that the hierachy,started helping their Member Clubs,the local F.A.s should also add their voice to this request as well.Never will there be a better time to stand up to the FA,already this week,their has been great Newspaper coverage,about the ridiculous fixture backlog that Guernsey FC face.When will the FA,realise that Non League Clubs do not have state of the art facilities like their Premier League counterparts,but are a big part of the British way of life,and have been for generations.Stand up as one,and they would at least have to consider a longer extension to this season.

Non League Nigel Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Fully agree but as I said earlier it will probably mess up the holiday plans of a few chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil-Don Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 At most clubs once the first team play their last match they cant start working on the pitch for at least a month until the youth,pub teams finish their matches on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncs Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 to be honest Smudge unless they do extend it we might as well stop now otherwise ther is no way any of our clubs will fulfill thier fixtures,have you seen the long range weather forecast if it aint snowing its gonna be raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Clapham Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Have to add that I agree totally with Smudge as do Cobham FC who I spoke to this morning. Perhaps our parent FA's and league officers can bring some pressure to bear on the FA. Pro football is far removed from what we have to deal with at step 5.

Smudge Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Our parent FA's should definitely be pressing the FA on this matter.Reason all Clubs pay them a Membership Fee,so that they act in all Clubs Interests.ITS A NO BRAINER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 In full agreement with Smudge, but the FA hierarchy will not bend. Newport County wanted the season extended, but were told flatly no and they will have to complete their fixtures by a pre-arranged date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
