[Smudge]

How come Dorking and Epsom Athletic are free surely fixtures could of been juggled to allow both these sides to play.

Playing each other on Wednesday Smudge.

[Smudge]

Yeah I see that Chris,but no Saturday Fixture for either is poor in my opinion.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

We would both have to play away as our landlords are at home.

 

Fair point,though smudge, can you work out a better programme for Saturday that means all sides play in Div one and the rest of the season is all fine too?

[Big J R]

Looks like I'll be dragged out shopping on Saturday, then !

[lazarus]

In response to the comment concerning Epsom Athletic, they have only one away match left, with the remainder of their backlog being home games.  As both Chessington and Epsom cannot play at home on the same day, it is inevitable that Epsom will have a few Saturdays over the rest of the season when they don't have a match.  That inevitably means that another club in the Division will also be without a game, on this occasion Dorking, hence the fact that the two clubs are due to play each other this evening.

Which is now postponed.

Alan,fact is Epsom Athletic and Chessington and Hook have 19 home games still left to play at Chalky Lane,are there only 2 days in the week when they can play? Molesey had agreed with Badshot Lea if there game last night had been postponed,they would play Thursday this week,thankfully the game went ahead,the League should act,and tell them all days are to be used,if the pitch is ever playable,Sundays included.

Watch this space ????????

[lazarus]

I don't think that we can make clubs play on a Sunday.

 

The Thursday option is now very likely.

[salv]

so why did league make clubs go and play on sundays then??!!

[salv]

in guernsey

[duncs]

If not mistaken the year we won the CCL Prem cup (i mean Cove ) which was at Staines on a friday evening, we were told to play Guildford on the Sunday to help complete our fixtures.

[salv]

ridicolous remark by lazarus 'we cant make clubs play on a sunday'

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

Why ridiculous?

 

Many clubs have got two games to play at Chalky Lane, Im sure they dont want to play Saturday and Sunday, and Smudge teams and officials  cant be on permanent standby for the first evening the pitch is playable at a few hours notice.

[Terrence Collina]

and isn't Sunday football played at Chalky Lane as well?

Jeff,what about Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,are they no go as well.As for Officials, I am sure they can be found at a days notice.

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

I think if a club knew it was expected to play on a Monday or a Thursday in a few weeks it would be ok. Smudge.

 

Can't expect Epsom Ath to call Dorking at 4pm today and say we can play, bring your boots.
