rebel voyeur Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Given all the fixture congestion last year why have we had a free saturday and two free midweeks when we have decent pitches and weather ? It's just common sense to plan for a game in the event of draws or early exits and then stand down officials if necessary rather than scramble around trying to switch it all on at short notice ?? Surely it must be more sensible to get ahead of the game and mitigate what the future weather challenges may bring...especially after the past couple of winters...The club should be trying to force matters so we avoid the issues we had from albeit a successful cup run last year which probably cost us a promotion as we were twiddling our thumbs most weeks during september and october....will the leagues ever learn !

Sir Rebel1965 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Poor planning, maybe, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Not sure about your league but last Tuesday when England had an important game against Ukraine,most Ryman Premier fans were forced to choose between club or country as there was pretty much a full fixture list that night.Despite the previous Tuesday,no games being scheduled to my knowledge. I know a couple of clubs moved their games back or forward to avoid a clash but others like ours (afc hornchurch) had no choice but to play the game that night as we can't use Monday or Wednesdays due to our groundshare with the local athletics club. Stupidity rules it seems!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEAVY TRUCKER Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 going by the quality of the games played by the national team then it is a no brainer the club wins every time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEAVY TRUCKER Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 cannot believe that even though we are out of the fa cup ( something this season i'm not to bothered about) that it is still cocking up our fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelsAndBlues Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Although it is starting to feel like deja vu, trying to take any kind of possitive from these games being postponed (including tonight v Chalfont), that it gives our players extra 5 days to recover. I know some on here say dont use that as an excuse, but surely, can only help .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 going by the quality of the games played by the national team then it is a no brainer the club wins every time . Unfortunately not everyone sees it like that. Most clubs have a hardcore of fans who will choose to watch club before country but every club relies on drifting fans.By playing league fixtures the same day as the national team not only are you making sure the hardcore club fans can't watch their national side but the club suffers due to lack of interest from the drifting fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
