Play off dates confirmed.

[The Town Crier]

The League have now confirmed dates for the semi final playoffs.

 

If Chelmsford are at home, it will be Monday

If Hampton are at home, it will be Wednesday

Anyone else will be a Tuesday.

 

 

No decision has been made yet with regards to a possible Friday final at Chelmsford.

The Ryman Leagues definition of "Confirmed" is obviously different to that in popular usage. I'm going to struggle with that Monday. Just hope Chelmo lose and we get enough to go above them.

[coupwotcoup]

If the current four teams who occupy the play-off slots stay there, then there should be some massive attendances for all three matches.

[sargon]

yep...if its a Chelmo v AFC final at Layer(as some are saying)could well be 5000 plus,all games will have 4 fig gates especially if Hampton,as champs,are not in it and Bromley are.

Sods law and bloody AFC will win it...would even prefer Chelmo over those cheatin' £$%$.

I wasnt saying Chelmo would beat you,by the way,just what could happen and lets be honest both clubs dwarf the others attendence wise...even Bromley.

It is a bit odd that once again some clubs seem to be able to change things as they see fit.

 

That said if we had to play Chelmsford away the day earlier fixture could be to our advantage.

 

The final should be on the Saturday whatever happens.

 

Let's get there first tho!!!

[The Town Crier]

 

Clubs can't change things at will, they have to be agreed by the League, and as of this morning, arrangements for the final had NOT been agreed.

[Ryan.c]

So everyone else will be conforming to Saturday May 5th for the final EXCEPT Chelmo?

 

Throw 'em out I say.

So, that infers that the League did agree to any Home Semi-Final Chelmo are involved in being pulled forwards a day to Monday. I still think that them losing Home advantage is a better option

 

A semi on the Monday followed by a Final on the Saturday gives an extra day or two to recover so maybe isn't all bad. Just annoying that I've had the original dates in my diary all season and planned work around them! But I suppose it's no worse than Cup replays being organised at short-notice. There's even talk on the Soppybox of a Bank Holiday Monday Final if Chelmo should get there and are the Home team.

If Chelmsford are to play Billericay at home then they should find out when the Billericay fans can attend and play it then. If that is say, 2.25 on a Thursday morning, so be it. It's the only right and proper thing to do.

[Rick the Dick]

Ahhh... Sarcasm. The highest form of wit, in my opinion; but only when done well.

[GazzaBTFC]

Hey, I can make 2.25am Thursday morning but will the Council allow you to play on their pitch at that time....

 

[Ryan.c]

They might do if you wear tight shorts and call yourself Daley!

[Mr. Pharmacist]

Unlike you, I was a fool. When I saw the Ryman League had confirmed Tuesday and Wednesday for the play-offs I thought, "mmmm, this is the Ryman League, better keep the whole week free". How could I be so stupid!

Really? That was so good he had to repeat it....

 

...wasn't really worth the effort

[Mr. Pharmacist]

Bloody pharmaceuticals! How could I fail to believe the Ryman League! My humble apologies O pompous one, who is soooo up himself, Mr. GazzaBTFC (the very lifeblood of BTFC/North Basildon).

[Keith.P]

Mr Pharmasist - Easy fella. Never knock Anyone who puts in time and effort for "whatever" club(S) we all follow. Tis only a message board

 

Now then, either way i have also been cunning - I have a deal going with myself meaning "if" we make the playoffs I will be there, and if not i will not be.

Nice of you to say so but I think you should consult a map every now and again...
