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 is pal it is sunderland west ends home ground. 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. Wearside have games at the hub today. They have been paying 50% of costs for teams moving to 4G pitches to get games on.

NO Extension for those in for promotion
The FA has written to leagues at Steps 5&6 telling them there will be no extension to the season.
(Games that don't involve clubs with a possibility of promotion or relegation may be rescheduled to no later than 4th May.)

There’s no way fixtures will be completed anytime in April if this constant rain doesn’t dissapear.

Absolutely useless tossers. Why? Why can't they extend it? Other than "we don't feel like it".
How many more times will the FA prove they are completely unfit and useless?
Should be a separate FA for steps 6-1 of non league than the EFL. The knobs in suits just don't grasp football at this level, it's infuriating.

Probably because there’s no precedent for extending. I think it was season 2013 when Spenny had many postponed games due to bad weather in the winter, a run to the Vase final and they were chasing down 1883 for the northern league title. If I recall correctly, Spenny played 17 games in 25 days at the end of the season. I am pretty sure Chris Mason played every minute of all of those games. What a player.
The most league games any NL1 team has to play is 15 and there are 60 days left until the end of the season, no FA Vase runs, very few playing league cup, Bishops have won the title.
Seriously, get a grip. Nobody needs and extension.

It got extended literally last year in division two, what's changed since then?

There are so few games left why extend it with so long left in the season? If the wet weather leads to more widespread postponements in the next month then fair do’s there’s a case for extending but certainly not now.

10 games for bishops and 13 games for Blyth Town in 49 days that’s one Saturday game and one midweek game per week. That’s the normal situation. Like I say, if all the games are postponed for the next 3-4 weeks then fair do’s but the FA wouldn’t extend when they don’t need to.

I think the Northern League put out on there wesbite in regards their request for an extension that fixtures are scheduled to finish 20th April, but at Step 4 fixtures are scheduled upto 27th April and have been all season. Not sure why it should be different as they bpth have palyoffs to schedule

Looks like Crook have the most league games left of anyone - 15 remaining and 8 weeks to play them (no idea if they've any cup games to fit in on top of that) so not sure an extension is necessary at this point, and as ever this scenario could've been avoided if the league were a bit more proactive at the start of a season instead of being surprised by the bad weather ever single year.

Said that all along mate.id made no sense whatsoever.no August Bank Holiday games neither.that was just asking for trouble I think what most tend not to take into account is that normally we don’t have such long periods of constant rain. Pitches aren’t getting enough rain free days so when heavy rain comes and pitches have not had enough time to fully drain off so even if it’s just a few hours of heavy rain and the water table is high then there’s no chance. ( except for Bishops of course ). We got some unnecessary stick from Redcar for not calling the game off before 5pm . The pitch was due the inspection at 3pm but there was a delay beyond our control which lead to the late inspection.
