More cancellations this week?
More cancellations this week?
dont need to be Micheal Fish to see that this weeks NL games are already in doubt........still no sign of a season extension? but when will it become inevitable to the FA? - when teams have to play three, four......even five games in a week? Ok, its to our advantage, but even so if it was the other way round I'd be screaming blue murder

Re: More cancellations this week?
if spenny get to the final and they want a few days to prepare,lets say they play their last game on tuesday 30th april.
they dont have a league game now till the 1st april.
not including the cup final vs bish and league cup, they would have 18 league games in 30 days. that is a massive ask.

If they think they need vase weeks off just to be like Shildon, I have no sympathy.

Re: More cancellations this week?
There has to be a cut off point. I mean you couldn't play 9 games in 9 days could you. How about 9 games in 10 days? The F.A. I suppose could just forfeit games and be done with it.jimmyht wrote:dont need to be Micheal Fish to see that this weeks NL games are already in doubt........still no sign of a season extension? but when will it become inevitable to the FA? - when teams have to play three, four......even five games in a week?

Re: More cancellations this week?
Obviously, but any idea what that cut off point is? - do the FA have any sort of policy or, as we have found to our cost in our FA dealings, do they just make it up as they go along?theoriginalfatcat wrote:There has to be a cut off point.

Re: More cancellations this week?
The FA really could not care at all about football outside of the premiershit.
They would worry if sides had to play 2 games a day every day for a week as long as Sir Alex, Arsene Wenger etc are happy- the rest of us can go and jump.
The FA have shown contempt for football outside the top division for years

Re: More cancellations this week?
I think they can all have an extension at the discretion of the Northern League - all except us and (possibly) Spenny if they still want to go for promotion. So long as we finish our games by the 4th May we should go up. I don't think Spenny can seriously consider going for promotion now, so they may as well just take the extension and focus on the Vase.

Feck that. I want us to beat them fair and square with no accusations that we were gifted the league!
Waiting for Raj to shaft them!

Re: More cancellations this week?
Countryfile weather which is normally quite good seems to think possible snow next weekend again, although this may well be the south it hits first.
The winter that never stops giving, it's like the film "A day after Tomorrow". Is 8c and a some dry weather too much to ask.

Re: More cancellations this week?
I know they have games in hand and can mathematically catch us, but I think they're going to end up about 10 points behind us once they've ploughed through all their backlog. I think we just have to carry on as we are and the title will be ours, and good luck to Spennymoor in the Vase - I was pleased for them and their fans who made it down there yesterday.Fatty eats roadkill wrote:Feck that.

Re: More cancellations this week?
Even if Spennymoor get a 3 or 4 week extension, there will still be people who claim that they would have won the league if they didn't play so many cup games. There's a few people doing it now despite it being before the major effects of their backlog kick in, we've taken 4 points off them, we have more points per game than them, and we haven't even won the league yet!Fatty eats roadkill wrote:Feck that.

Re: More cancellations this week?
Fair and square, we drew 0-0 on our patch and beat them 3-1 on theirs.
We've been gifted nothing.

We have if they pull their promotion.

Re: More cancellations this week?
And I suppose our 32 victories so far this season were gifted as well.
Nothing has or will be gifted, the success of our season is down to hard work by the players,manager,club and volunteers of Darlington FC. No gifts.

Re: More cancellations this week?
I agree totally. What was our only aim this season? To go up. If they play their last game on the day we play ours, they deserve it. If they don't, they have an unfair advantage, and finishing top means nothing in their case.banktopp wrote:And I suppose our 32 victories so far this season were gifted as well.

Its all about promotion.
