is it just me or are the efl (and non leagues) not really helping themselves with these early finishes to seasons.

It isnt too long ago that regular last day of the season was pushing towards mid may and now some leagues finish as early as 20th April, even ours appears early being on the 27th April.

Balls to the Summer tournaments we have these days, it wont affect sides in leagues one and two, plan the season better and get it back open for a couple of weeks in May. Failing that, alter the league cup or scrap the silly group games in the EFL trophy and there are 3 weeks there that can be used for regular league fixtures whilst the weather is "better"

 

Sounds Ebeneezer Goode to me.

 

I’m sure people were using Halifax as an example of a good pitch a bit ago

 

It's really bizarre that L2 & NL end so early when the PL goes on to 19th May, despite the Euros being this summer.

 

Those bods in Stanmore that rent out their drives when Wembley is in use, are going to be creaming it in this summer !

 

Be better off going to Huddersfield.

Or just flip it to Oldham. Short hop over Rishworth Moor.

 

“Anybody got any Veras?”

Asking for a friend.

 

100 %.

 

And then after that you've got concerts going on there with Taylor Swift doing 8 days there. 80% of the house value is probably in the drive alone

 

Grimsby v Solihull final was at our gaff, 29,000

 

Surely Hudderfield Town is closer for them, and the pitch is playable there. I mean our pitch is as bad as theirs. Imagine moving it to our for it to just be called off after todays rain.

 

Look at it from my point of view!!!!

 

Play at Marley

 

They were, and then a few days after, Halifax had a game postponed due to waterlogged pitch!

 

I can't see them using our pitch unless there was absolutely no other options as it would be too much of a risk with the rain since Sunday and the forecast for tomorrow isn't great.

Huddersfield would be the logical choice as it's a much better pitch and the next match scheduled there is Huddersfield Town a week on Saturday so plenty of time for the pitch to recover if needed.

Whatever they do they need to get it rearranged very soon as the season ends on 20th.

It's a big problem across all of non-league at the moment as I don't think there is any league which doesn't have a few teams that are looking at Saturday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.

 

I've seen that before, it doesn't look like they are the only ones as well and it's a big issue for all of non-league. Tonight Gateshead have desperately tried to get their game on but it's been postponed, their current schedule is Thursday/Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday with tonights game to fit in so that will have to go next Thursday. The schedule is bad enough just on the face of it for Truro but when you factor in that the 'home' games are a nearly a 400 mile round journey. Luckily for them they are probably just far enough away from the relegation zone so they only probably need 1 win to be sure of staying up. I assume they are part time players so no idea how the players will be able to get to the games with work never mind play them at a decent level.

 

Gatesheads postponed game at 7.25 against Aldershot would irritate the hell out of me, especially if I was an Aldershot fan

 

It's a consequence of the desperation to get the game on that they tried to give it every chance to be on even if it was always looking very unlikely. If there is a lot of rain over the next 10 days I'd worry for the National League play offs as the 4 teams chasing the last 2 play off spots were due to play each other tonight/tomorrow and all have been postponed with only the Thursday before the end of the season left available in the schedule.
