Fixture Changes

Post by super_les_mcjannet » Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:31 am

Chorley Home on Tuesday 9th August is now Wednesday 24th August
Gloucester City Away on Sat 20th August is now Sunday 21st August

Our home midweek games this season have been switched back to Wednesdays from Tuesdays, didn't notice that when the fixtures came out.

Heard on the grape vine it is more to do with the contractual agreement we have with Bishop Auckland.

Not if a signed agreement says otherwise.

Saturday games, I believe our higher league standing gives us priority but midweek games, I would assume we were allocated Wednesday nights and Bishop Auckland have taken the Tuesday nights. The Bishop Auckland fixture list would add credence to that.

*Edit - Link to BAFC Chairman Notes gives us the reason
