How did I guess. The remaining fixtures are sorted and surprise surprise the game between Rothwell Town and Eynesbury Rovers, that was postponed late on the Saturday morning of the game,due to Rothwell not bing able to raise a full side, has been arranged for a Tuesday night. !
Now I expressed sympathy at the time for the club, and realise they will be fined £250, but im angry with the league that they did not lose the points for not being able to play the game. Now we have the inconvience of going over there on a Tuesday evening, and because its a mid week fixture, run the possibility of not being at full strength, due to work committments etc.
So they have turned the match in their favour which I feel strongly about, and will be contacting the league to express my issues.
We cant win the league, or even get promoted, so that is not my concern, its the principal that a club is allowed to do this at this level. Even at youth level, if you call the game off on the day of the game, or even 3 weeks before the match, because you cant raise a side, you lose the points - end of.
Can someone in authority reply to this and explain why Rothwell didnt. I would be interested to hear the rules.....

People in glass houses...
I seem to remember Eynesbury calling off their under 18 game against R&H earlier this season due to a player availability problem !

I suppose I didnt expect a serious comment back. And on the point you raised, I have no idea about this, and if its even true or not.

Lad appears to be the appropriate pseudonymn in this case. Grow up, there but for the grace of you know who goes Eynesbury or any other Club it would appear in the modern football world. Good of you to kick a Club when they're down, lad.

Grow up ? An intelligent answer. Im probably older and wiser than you young man. It looks like I will have to leave this subject, as you feel Im kicking a team while they are down. Far from it, but it seems pointless going into it anymore.
I just stated that I feel that the ruling is wrong that you dont sacrifice the game if you call it off on the morning of a game at this level. And I stand by that.

Here is an intelligent answer, perhaps it was felt that re-playing the game on a tuesday night might allow potential additonally revenue for Rothwell helping them out of there current situation. It maybe be poss that players would available, players from other local clubs might come and watch, pay to watch ? As you put, you can not get promoted so what does it matter ? If anything, players especially younger players love playing under floodlights and I am sure if you ask the bulk of any players do they might playing mid week or do you actually want to play the re-arrange mid week game then they would say Yes. You as a supporter having to travel mid week after a days work instead of leaving the missus and having a few pints woth your mates does not seem the same Tuesday compared to a Sat ?

Rothwell Town's floodlights aren't working at the moment which is why the match in question is taking place at 6.30pm. |

Thanks. Yes that was more of an intelligent reply. And I also agree with what you say about the lads enjoy playing under lights mid-week. And as I do have sympathy for the struggling club, and appreciate that every chance they get of a home fixture, of course is much needed potential revenue. My next point was going to be the early k.o time, due to floodlight problems, and the hassle that causes with players getting there from work. And on your point about why does it matter regarding league positions, we just want to finish a high up in the league as possible.

Weren't Eynesbury granted dispensation from the League to have early kick-offs for Saturday games some seasons ago? Something to do with televised games and revenue? :-)

Give up, were they ? You are obviously an expert on past Eynesbury Rovers events. I am only interest in the present. Looks like this subject is closed as everyone seems anti -Eynesbury for some unknown reason. ?

No not an expert on past Eynesbury events, I read the League Meeting minutes and weekly fixture bulletins. If you can't remember early kick-offs (First and Ressies) then you haven't followed Eynesbury for very long. Four years at most. Or is it again 'selctive memory-loss'. :-) ;-)
