GlenSTFC Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Someone has got it in for us!!! I wasn’t even concerned until I read they’d be an inspection then I just knew it’ll be off. We must now be playing every midweek until the season ends? I know you can’t use it as an excuse but it certainly makes it a lot harder with all these games including long midweek matches to play. Looks like we’ll have to get promoted the hard way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishadrian Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 On the plus side It'll be played hopefully on a better surface and at a better temperature later on in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 From what I can see, the first opportunity to replay it is next Tuesday, if it can be arranged as Biggleswade do not have a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I’m sure the club are, hoping a fixture can be rearranged for next week to replace the Hitchin game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 What's the forecast for next week looking like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Not sure about the timing. The forecast for Biggleswade this afternoon is dry now, perhaps it could've waited until 4pm or sometime around then to see. Given it's been dry for Sunday and Monday, it's very annoying that the pitch can be pushed over the top by a bit of rain this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Maybe the only official they could get was only available at 12pm? Otherwise you could have another scenario where the game is called off once everyone has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Baker Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Their pitch was in a bad state from the Biggleswade FC game their Saturday and were unable to even get on the pitch to do any work to it... Whilst frustrating, 100% the right decision to call it off early, they cant win however... they leave it late and we get there and a ref calls it off... From a practical point of view, some players have to get out of work between 3/4pm, myself I would have had to leave my office by 3pm, so has saved people using holiday etc by the early inspection.

Irishadrian Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 There were 10 games scheduled across the 3 divisions of our league tonight Only Merthyr has survived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Carpenter Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 There was widespread rain overnight Monday/Tuesday and it was certainly lashing down in the wee small hours when I had to arise for a wee small purpose. Frustrating all round and causing Mike Lightfoot and co. major headaches with the coach bookings. Please remember whoever is in charge up there that COYR means "Come on you Rebels" not "Come on you Rain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rebel and a Saint Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Neil/Jon, given that the current forecast for Biggleswade is dry until at least Tuesday (with the exception of a bit of Sunday night), and with both teams having no game next week, is there any chance of the game being rescheduled for Tuesday?

Neil Baker Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I believe it has been rearranged for Tuesday, however will let Kay confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin rebel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Has the Biggleswade game been rearranged for this Tuesday (20th Feb)????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Baker Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Nope I actually posted yesterday but with the problems with server it was deleted. Few issues which I won’t go into on here, but suffice to say we have been working very hard on trying to get a midweek game, but everything seems to have conspired against us. This therefore means we go with the following away midweek games. 27th v Royston 6th March v Basingstoke 13th v Kings Lynn 20th v St Ives 27th will more than likely be County Cup semi final, but we also play Dunstable on Friday the 30th and Chesham home on Monday the 2nd April 4th April v Frome (Wednesday) 9th/10th v Hitchin/Biggleswade 16th/17th v Hitchin/Biggleswade Which leaves us the last midweek spare at the moment. A very tough ask, and we will really need everyone to get behind the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Shame Biggles couldn't do us a favour after our fruitless midweek trip up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
