What an I’m all right Jack post . Absolute bollox spouted yet again . What about the lost income. Officials to pay could end up with home clubs having to fork out over £400.00 plus expenses with no consideration to how much the home club are forfeiting. But hey ho as long as Bishops are ok Fcuk the rest. What is needed if for every club to petition the National FA to extend the season . Or pay clubs lost revenue . Big C - it is already happening. Games are being switched left right and centre Never said it wasn’t happening . All this is happening because the men in suits at FA headquarters refuse to extend the season. 1 week to 27th when hundreds if not thousands of games lost up and down the country is not much help at all. Doesn’t help when people like you encourage them to just hire a venue instead of giving clubs some support in challenging it.

I know its been a bad winter and even summer weather wise but you also have to think how bad boldons and washingtons pitches are due to lack of games been played there. Also if the fa dont want to extend the season by much why not just award teams with nothing to play for 0-0 draws to help get fixtures out the way, not good but better than loads of money been lost and paid out to play several games at hubs surely

Might seem a bit radical, but there will be loads of fixtures taking place that will cost clubs a lot of money, for very little reason!

Its reminding me of covid where you wont satisfy everyone with purists saying it ruins the credibility of the game. Folk may change there mind if there clubs in financial trouble over playing games elsewhere though

The Wearside League were paying for HUB ground hire for it's clubs to play midweek fixtures, this from the front end of the season. National League yesterday acquired Gloucester's pitch for Taunton's home fixture with Maidstone, Northern Premier League has changed venue's for a number of club's, including Dunston with some of their home games. The Northern League does not have that power yet, though that may change at the AGM for 24/25 season. Why haven't Sunday's been considered, as the way this is creeping forward a club may have to play two games in one day, and been done a few times in the Northern League.

Hoping the league are already looking into this for Bishops away games v Tow law and Criok. Perhaps play both games at Consett if viable as Bishops already playing Sat, Mon, Weds, Sat in final week of regular season. Can't see any other options if as expected this Saturdays game is postponed. Whickham had an attendance of 45 at Consett on Tuesday night. It’s an insult to the clubs having to pay for these neutral venues. Surely if that become the case Bishop would be better off offering use of Heritage Park and letting Crook/Tow Law keep majority of gate. At least they’ll be guaranteed a 300+ attendance.

Because players in the North east prioritise Sunday league over actual Saturday football.

And Bishops would be given an unfair advantage over Shildon by having an extra home game to them. Grossly unfair and an absolute non-starter unless you play it behind closed doors and have Bishops pay for the match day expenses

I can see the FA doing that before letting Bishops have an unfair advantage tbh! Seriously though, lessons need to be learned from this season as I can see this weather being the norm going forward. As has been said they need to ensure as many midweeks as possible are utilised in the first 3-4 months of the season.

As u said just award teams 0-0 rests for games that mean nothing in terms of relegation or promotion and iron out a solution for next season like starting in july
