Spidermanor - Why don't we just enjoy the festive season without any football and chill out whilst watching the Great Escape on tv, afterall it is a religious holiday and I make Phil Rolt spot on. As I said if some of us are desperate to go to a game on Boxing Day why not go to the 61FC and support our good friend AWK and still be home in time for your cold turkey sarnies!


Well, as a newcomer, it seems clear that the fixtures secretary doesn't look for attractive bank holiday fixtures -I'll put it no stronger than that!

You are sir, quite the imbecile as once again you quite deliberately miss the point of the post. But to answer:

1.Because I will be at Vicarage Road watching Watford vs Arsenal, that is if i can arrange a lift to the ground.

2.Because I am not in the slightest bit religous, and it is actually a pagan winter festival, hijacked by the by then Christian Romans to keep the locals happy after they invaded Britain.

Oh, and please explain exactly why 'Phil Rolt is 'spot on'.

Particularly The 61FC. As for Spidermanor's amusing post and question you already know how I feel about Phil Rolt, his common sense approach is second to none in a 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' sort of way and he's probably of the opinion that families should be together over the Christmas period. Also with a game on Boxing Day players can't pig out or have a good drink on Christmas night, he has his priorities right and is trying to do everyone a favour.

But the Boxing Day game is the best occasion of the season! After 34 seasons in a league with proper fuxtures (you know, the whole season in one go!) it was a shock to have to have Mickey Mouse monthly fixtures ,and NO bank holiday games!

I know you are in love with Phil Rolt (but don't let 'Beware of Rhodents' see this, or you'll be in trouble again) as you and he are very like minded in the way you completely ignore what everyone else says or does in order to further your own idiosyncratic idiocies. However, the problem with the fixtures is that the way they are done is 'broke' and does need fixing. Most clubs who post on hereand agree fixtures for a season and local derbies on bank holidays would be a progressive step for this league except you.

Rolt is incompetent, he doesn't communicate which leads him to make embarrassing mistakes, like the recent debacle when he forgot to tell the Hellenic league about certain games forcing us to play our scheduled home game vs Kingsbury away. How do you explain commonsense then, was it commonsense to give The 61 a run of 7 consecutive home games. I don't think so. Over to you oh idiom addict.

Now why can't more people have this sensible view, it is obviously where Phil Rolt is coming from, afterall Christmas is a time for families rather than going off to far flung places like Biggleswade, Royston or Langford on Boxing Day.

but it shouldn't be a unilateral decision by the fixtures secretary! It may well be that the majority of players welcome this view, and if so I respect that viewpoint, but on recent Boxing Day's we have taken well over £1,000 at the gate and a similar amount in the bar - important revenue fo a small club. This is equivalent to several gates on "normal" days. Also Easter Monday attracts similar crowds and I'm not sure that players are so reluctant to play aftenoon games on that day. Whatever, it needs a debate, not the personal choice of the fixtures secretary.

Totally agree Horace.

Unfortunately the powers that be refuse to even discuss the issue, whenever its raised at the AGM. They seem to think its acceptable to have all the other step 5 leagues laughing at them.
