HibeeJibee Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Undeniably. Of 28 matches scheduled for Saughton since the start of November, only 8 have gone ahead. However, 6-in-a-row had gone ahead before tonight's postponement, tbf. Before that it was a meagre 2 in 21 (including 16-in-a-row postponed/relocated streak).

tynie1874 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Always looks fine going past it, drainage must be shocking. Assume Edinburgh leisure upkeep this pitch? Always confused how Amateur games get the go ahead on worse parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Confirmation on twitter that tomorrow's King Cup QF between Tynecastle and Ormiston has been reversed, and so is now Ormiston's home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsPhil Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I see the League Cup SF has now been rearranged for next Monday (11th April) but it's listed on the EOSFL fixtures page as Spartans v Tynecastle, so taken away from Saughton Enclosure and switched onto the Ainslie Park plastic instead.

LeedsPhil Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I see the League Cup SF has now been rearranged for next Monday (11th April) but it's listed on the EOSFL fixtures page as Spartans v Tynecastle, so taken away from Saughton Enclosure and switched onto the Ainslie Park plastic instead. And next Wednesday's league fixture Tynecastle v CSS has disappeared (CSS will now play H v Peebles). Again presumably because of the state of Saughton Enclosure.

snowball Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Was always going to be a problem with 2 teams playing on that pitch. Will soon have amateurs and juveniles playing finals on it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Indeed. Having successfully staged 9 games in 5 months (8 EOSL & 1 Womens PL2), from tonight Saughton was due to host games on... Friday (SE Region Youth FAs 'Peter O'Neill' Cup Final); Saturday (Tynecastle v Ormiston); Monday (LTHV v Burntisland); Wednesday (Tynecastle v Spartans EOS); Friday (SE Region Youth FAs 'Polars Foods' Cup Final); Saturday (LTHV v Spartans EOS); Sunday (Hutchison Vale Ladies v Jeanfield Swift Ladies) ... 7 games in 10 days. Madness. It'll be like that, sometimes with 2 finals back-to-back on Fridays, until June. http://www.eosfl.com/matches.asp?ResultsFixtures=fixtures http://www.seryfa-online.info/coming-cup-finals-20152016 http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/swf/competitions.cfm?page=1599&competitionID=1BAE9995-F271-DC49-393809220DFB64C4&displayID=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surely not! Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Was always going to be a problem with 2 teams playing on that pitch. Will soon have amateurs and juveniles playing finals on it as well. Problem is that for ages, zero teams played on the pitch. Even with one team using it it would be goosed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
