archieb Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just noticed that in the seven weeks of League fixtures published so far, Neilston are at home SIX times and away just the once! (4 homes, one away then 2 more homes). How utterly ludicrous is that? Not to mention unnecessary and a fine display of incompetence on the part of the setter. Are any other clubs faced with a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKIEBILL Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 We have 8 league fixtures up already ... 4 home and 4 away. Better than anything we've had in the past I'd suggest ... so no issues here. However the Neilston situation doesn't seem right - although the individual club page shows them with 5 at home and 2 away. Maybe there's specific circumstances ?

It seems that there have already been some changes to the fixtures in the Central Div1 since I posted!! Neilston now start with a free Saturday (as do St Roch's and Perthshire!!) followed by 3 home fixtures, one away, two homes, and one away. A slight improvement but still not ideal. More importantly the fixtures as set originally should have avoided such a crazy sequence - exactly the sort of thing we wanted to get away from with advance fixture setting!!

Neilston were free on the original fixtures issued this Saturday. Perthshire were due to play St. Roch's, but the Shire then asked for the day off. Neilston v St. Roch's was then arranged but Neilston complained that they had already told their players that they had no game and a lot of them had already made other plans.

They can have a Tuesday then. Saturday's are for playing football matches like agreed to do when registering for the season. Days off will have to end next season.

That is a club position. The person who schedules the fixtures is the general secretary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
