Its a no win situation, you give a club struggling financially a huge fine, they fold. I think if there is a genuine, amicable reason and not a club struggling through miss management ie. throwing silly money at underachieving players, then a big fine isnt plausible. Dock points, relegate them, but dont fold them. I would much rather see a club be given a chance to pull themselves around, look at Hebburn, South Shields.. Dont recall hebburn or shields cancelling several games Where did i say they did? |

Boldon playing there next few games at Ford hub. Not sure about tomorrow's game then as jarrow are on there tomorrow. Out of interest is the Ford hub up to NL standards? I'm hearing on the grapevine the Wearside league are trying to stop games at certain hubs as they dont come up to WL standards  |

It doesn't float my boat but its getting games on. If the wearside league knock the hubs on the head then they'll probably lose a few clubs. Not sure why there trying to knock the hubs on the head. I would for the wearside league Premier division but the other two divisions are pretty much park pitches anyway. |

You said give a club chance to pull themseleves round which i agree is right and maybe not worded right from me but even when hebburn and s shields were at there lowest and looked like going out of business they never did a north shields. |

Shields and Hebburn didn’t cancel games , that’s correct . Both now have a lot of money put up from some very wealthy people. The worry I would have is if those wealthy people walk away the it’s going to be another Durham City scenario . I really do hope both reach their targets , if the money men get bored and decide to find another hobby it will be impossible to cover the wage bill. Redcar Athletic are the latest to go down the buy the league route. Very dangerous game to play imo . Y |

He put it on the market a few month back but not sure what interest there's been but I'd say not a lot by the looks of it. This season has been one of the worst I've known not only for games being called off but every other week now there's clubs up and down the country either gone to the wall or on the brink. Are these clubs chasing a dream or what. |

Are the league covering the costs if that's the case or down to clubs to try and cover it. This could financially cripple a club and on top sure they will send refs from furthest away just to add pain with fees. Boldon playing there next few games at Ford hub. Not sure about tomorrow's game then as jarrow are on there tomorrow. |

Don't think the league are paying for it. If I was Boldon I'd be doing everything I can to get today's game on at home then that's one less hub game to worry about. If you can't get a game on today then you have got problems. Not that much rain through the week and it's lovely outside at the minute. Not sure of the cost to stage a game at a hub presuming it's not cheap.
Think all this came about after the league visited the clubs that are struggling to get games on.

Your probably right but at the same time they are totally different clubs, and, quite probably totally different scenarios. No-one other than club officials know the reasons for the actions taken. Must be pretty desperate though. |

Well I hope the committee at Boldon go all out to get today's game on like I said it's one less hub game to worry about. The less time spent there the better. |

What I don't get with the boldon carry on is they've stated they don't have a groundsman so is it then down to the committee to try and get a game on. They must have somebody that goes in and cuts and marks the pitch. Are they actually doing anything to get a game on or do they just turn up on a matchday and say not today folks games off.
