Bit rough on clubs facing relegation . And those on the edge of playoffs Was thinking more games where teams who have nothing to play for. Seems a waste renting hubs for dead rubber games Any dead rubber games I'd knock on the head. Whoever the officials were meant to be for those games I'd make sure they were paid. Apart from that jobs a good one no renting of hubs etc.

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. 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 Well Shildon have Birtley and Heaton to play away, both have struggled to get home games on this season I believe. If Dean Street is playable why not alternate the fixture. It’s got to be better than going to Ford hub or consett to play it and losing 100/150 through the gate & then having to fork out for use of facility on top of that.

We have Shildon to play home and away in the final week with the last game played Birtley v Shildon. We have had the 2 Shildon games scheduled for the last 2 Saturdays for months .Spent last 2 days pumping water off the pitch , unfortunately didn’t get it all off so game tomorrow v Seaham is postponed. Our final 5 games are 1 away 4 at home

A lot of overnight rain in Durham. Could be another washout other than the hub games

Unbelievable absolutely Unbelievable this weather. God only knows when the season will finish. Local cricket has already been put back a week which was meant to start in 2 weeks. Surely the dead rubber games get binned. Clubs with 8 or 9 games still play.

Spenny in 2012-13 played about 20 games in the final month of the season, chasing 1883, FA Vase, League cup and DCC.
I’m guessing most of the pitches are flooding because of all the bed wetting on here. Just get on with it and play the games even if you have to play on consecutive days.
I must say, it does make the run in interesting. If there was plenty of time to play the games you’d expect Bishops to walk it but 4-5 games in the last 7 days makes it very interesting. I can see there being plenty of twists and turns in the final couple of weeks.

Bishop's home record this season is identical to their away record so cant see it being advantageous ( only to the visiting clubs ).

Tow Law lose one of their best earning fixtures and they get an advantage. Dear me.
