Dont think will p11s smudge off to much when he has a big wager on it at 20/1 lol

 

Show us the ante post slip Smudge. We were 16s back in October so you needed to have got on before then.

[Eastside Urchin]

If it is postponed GF that would be the 4th time,this fixture will end up as a pre-season friendly soon

 

 

Tough,get over it.

[Big J R]

I hear that The League are due to discuss the match back-log later this week.

Got to extend to the end of May, surely.

Think your find smudge backed them at start of the season before it kicked off.hope guernsey win it will be a great achievement

The League has discussed it and a statement will be issued this week. We would like to extend the season further but the FA will not allow it beyond Sat 4 May, at least for clubs involved in possible promotion from the Premier Division.

Good old sensible FA. Need to get the paperwork sorted so as to not interfere with their summer holidays.

 

Looks like we could only get in 3 more games this month, leaving 20 in a max of 34 days. Double header Sundays on the cards !

Looking forward to what the league come up with, they have a hard job with one hand tied behind their back.

Ridiculous isn't it. Doddery old fools need some fresh blood in there.

It's not just the FA. Whilst Mitoo might not be entirely accurate, and will not give the 'whole' picture the fact that Guernsey did not play in eight midweeks before the end of October - and I've ignored dates after that because of the weather - probably has something to do with the fixture backlog.

 

So the CCL must take some responsibility for allowing this to happen - presumably because sides did not want to travel to Guernsey midweek? Not sure how that's the FA's fault?

 

If they had played one fixture in each of those midweeks, that would mean twelve games in five weeks - therefore two or possibly three weeks, with three games in that week - which would not be 'unusual' for a Non League side who have had a 'Guernsey' style Cup Run!!

If they had not played 9 games in the F.A. Vase,everything in the garden would be Rosy.Have said from day one,that the Guernsey Squad was miles better than CCL,of course with 6 key players missing from the original squad it is harder.COME ON GUERNSEY.

Jumping to the CCL (and GFC) defence, some dates weren't scheduled due to preceding FA Cup or Vase games (ie possible midweek replays).

I am sure that will change next season with more provisional fixtures allocated.
