Evo-stick officials
Need to get their arses in gear and get some of these games re-arranged.
We've had at least 2 games waiting to be re-arranged for more than a month now. We could have had those games played. Instead they now add to the other 4 games we have to get in in an even shorter period.

Re: Evo-stick officials
I seem to recall they don't rearrange matches for January because the weather is too unpredictable. I guess they'll wait until the end of the month and then assess all of the games to fit in, and when best to arrange for the benefit of all teams. As frustrating as it is, it makes sense

Didn't the Northwich game get canned in October?

Re: Evo-stick officials
Wasn't the Kendal game re-arranged on the same day? Why was that one done so quick while the others haven't been?

Re: Evo-stick officials
I suppose both clubs had that weekend free and agreed it between each other, but it would've been better to take that weekend for a re-arranged home game and tell Kendal to go and fuck themselves.mikkyx wrote:Wasn't the Kendal game re-arranged on the same day?

Re: Evo-stick officials
Theres no accounting for blazers, but maybe they use some long range weather forecasting and see which clubs are still in cup competitions, as called off games are a massive cost burden for all of the clubs that have tiny gate revenues.

Re: Evo-stick officials
Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments. No reply or acknowledgement to my original e mail or to my follow up a week later.

Why comment on something they can have no control over, either then or in the future.feethamslad wrote:Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments. No reply or acknowledgement to my original e mail or to my follow up a week later.
You might as well have e-mailed the owner of Kendal's burger van with your thoughts on the debacle.

I was asking for information on the League rules on refunds for abandoned matches - something that the Legaue clearly has control over.lo36789 wrote:Why comment on something they can have no control over, either then or in the future.feethamslad wrote:Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments.

The fact is that Kendal did what they were entitled to, the same as we did for the Warrington game.feethamslad wrote:I was asking for information on the League rules on refunds for abandoned matches - something that the Legaue clearly has control over.lo36789 wrote:Why comment on something they can have no control over, either then or in the future.feethamslad wrote:Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments.

Which is fine (though I'm annoyed that I will not be able to attend the rearranged match - I have since given my revalidated ticket to someone that can attend). However, no excuse for the League to neither acknowledge nor respond to a genuine query.

It's not quite the same though is it, it's not like we refused to play

I wrote to them re the warrington thing and it took ages for them to get back to me with a one paragraph, pre-prepared reply.
I got the impression that "The League" is - one little old chap, working part time, out of an unheated shed, on the outskirts of Heckmondflatcapdyke.

Re: Evo-stick officials
Its exactly the same, the game started, and was stopped before it was finished.charlie wrote:shawry wrote:The fact is that Kendal did what they were entitled to, the same as we did for the Warrington game.feethamslad wrote:I was asking for information on the League rules on refunds for abandoned matches - something that the Legaue clearly has control over.lo36789 wrote:Why comment on something they can have no control over, either then or in the future.feethamslad wrote:Following the debacle of the Kendal game I emailed the League with my thoughts and asked for their comments.

Away supporters are generally hit hardest with these sort of things though, as a lot of the time you are unable to attend the rearranged game.
We would have done exactly what Kendal did, at the end of the day, those that did attend will get the opportunity to see the full game, with the Warrington game, despite us being awarded the game, I feel a bit cheated in that I paid for a full game, and only got a third.
I'm not saying we could have, or should have done anything differently, its Warrington that has annoyed me.

In any other business where you pay for something and only get a third you would do something about it, but it wasn't the club's fault and they too were messed about and most likely lost money.
I really hope the away game goes to plan.

Re: Evo-stick officials
It's not though, Warrington refused to come out n play whereas both teams were on the pitch that day. Because Warrington broke the rules that's why we were awarded the points.
The Kendal match has to be replayed because officially no rules were broken it was match abandoned due to the weather and state of the pitch
I can't go to the replay I've got a 12 hr shift so I do see where your coming from with both games however I really don't think they can be compared
