Happy Hunter 370 Posted September 8, 2022 In 2019 the Lion's and Cubs between them rode 6 matches in September and 9 in October. 15 in all. So yes, nothing changes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole had the first leg on the 12th and we finished the job on 16th. plus in them days you had qualifying rounds for the 4's and other stuff 10 Teams in the League and it might be finished by end of October.Tells it all.It will be interesting how many fans turn up for Berwick’s final matches in a few weeks time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That left 1 other possible Saturday for a meeting and my understanding is that Leicester tried to get a fixture on but there were no teams willing or able to visit us. I don't no if allowed but there is other days in the month, I'm more on about how there is goin to be a rush to fit fixtures in as inevitable the weather gets worse(no dig at Leicester) Edited September 8, 2022 by mc131 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Hunter 370 Posted September 13, 2022 Now that the Plymouth v Poole leg of the play off quarter final has been postponed to the 20th September and we can't be sure who the other two semi finalists will be until after then, what are the odds on the second leg of the KOC semi final against Poole taking place at Poole in the 21st? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,162 Posted September 13, 2022 Same happens every year, but just seems to get worse every year. It's about time a cut off point meant a cut off point. Only 10 teams in league 9 home matches plus Cup to fit in over 5 months and it still fails. In 2018 when Workington won the lot we were still trying to run a cup and league double header on the 32st October Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
