Can someone explain.

[Smudge]

Now everyone knows what a fair person I am,and many times I have been castigated on here for my views.Sometimes rightly.But in fairness,to all,and not being biased to anyone can someone explain,how AFC Croydon Athletic's first home game is October 15th against Chessington and Hook.Their own website states that they were let down by the Contractors,who were supposed to rectify the problems,and they now have a new one in,and it should be ready in weeks?I hope they do being a Fan of theirs. They also mention that the F.A. and League are aware of the situation and have been since early August,and been helpful in altering the fixtures accordingly.This beggars the question,why was the same facility not offered to Eversley and California regarding their lights by the F.A. and League,They did have a pitch after all,so as to take their rightful place in the Premier,coincidentally they could not play at home until October.I was critical of Guernsey when they had 8 out of 10 of their last games at Home,when they won Promotion,However according to Reg Miles site AFC Croydon Ath will have 9 of their last 11 games at home.Probably going to lose a few more friends over this post,but did not want to be called a Hypocrite for not bringing the matter to everyones attention.Equal playing field is great,hope AFC Croydon get their problems sorted quickly,as they are a decent bunch,who have worked very hard to get where they are.

I would hazard a guess that the League have far more leeway to be "accommodating" at Step 6 than they do at Step 5. Whether that is right or wrong in another debate.

I supppose it's a case of accomodating the clubs that have problems beyond their control or kicking them out.

 

I don't really have a view one way or the other.
