Run-in

[Barry Scott]

And I thought ours last season was tough, as I present Witton Albions final fixtures from last Friday:

 

Fri 14th Apr Marine

Mon 17th Apr Farsley Celtic

Wed 19th Apr Blyth Spartans

Thu 20th Apr Ilkeston Town <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bawling.gif" alt="" />

Sat 22nd Apr North Ferriby United

Mon 24th Apr Gateshead

Wed 26th Apr Radcliffe Borough

Sat 29th Apr Matlock Town

 

I'd love to see some professionals try that

That's amazing. Fair play to the players who have to do that. Wasn't it Canvey a few years ago that had a ridiculous number in the space of two weeks?

I noticed that too - pretty gruelling stuff. As well as Witton, title contenders Blyth Spartans are bang in the middle of a similar schedule - and have just won 3 games in 4 days!

Ian you're right, Canvey had the same problem (albeit slightly worse I think) and I seem to remember the 'old' Hornchurch having to play twice on the same day, one at home and one away, back in the old Ryman 2 (or maybe 3)

[Ian]

A bit of investigation shows that Canvey in 2003/4 had 10 games between Sat 3rd April and Sat 1st May. To their credit they won 4 and drew 3 but that's not as bad as 8 in 15 days or 9 in 18 for Witton Albion or Blyth Spartans above. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I thought that was weird. on my non league coupion i had blyth spartans to beat gateshead but when checking my other results a day later they had played again.
