Village elder Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 So how does this affect the absolute vast majority of teams and fans ? Not reading any stories about sell out crowds being forecast . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's an utter nonsense, to be honest. The same as having no fixtures on 23rd and 30th December. Totally unnecessary and out of touch with the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 There is fixture list in the East. Seems ludicrous to cancel the West fixtures as pretty much no bugger is interested in this tournament other than those playing in it and the freeloaders of course.

Casey Jones Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Fixture list in the East up to and including 21 October, with 28 October mainly for Scottish Junior cup ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unnecessary and out of touch with the fans. I definitely agree that not having a fixture on the 14th October is a nonsense but I think there is an argument for the 23rd and 30th of December. Your saying they're out of touch of with the fans but it's the players that make the sacrifice. So the players would need to train over the Christmas and New Year period when players may have commitments to families etc over the holidays. Fans don't have to do that. Surely players are entitled to a break. Without contradicting myself I would like them to be on but can see the argument of having them off.

It's hardly a chore. Is there a player on less than 60 a week in west super premier? . I'd be happy to play on 23rd and have a few extra quid in my pocket. Infact some get paid weekly whether there's a game or not. And they'll be training regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree players are paid to play and never mentioned it was a chore at all. Most if not all guys play because they want to play but there is definitely a sacrifice to be made by players to train twice a week and play. Not saying I wouldn't like to play because I would but can understand the argument for not having games over the holiday season. If both days are off I wouldn't imagine there would be much training done by teams over that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point to being with was Glensmad said out of touch with the fans when in reality it the players that are the most important for as they are the ones that will have to train and play over the period the fans just have to turn up on the Saturday. That's what I was getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglelok Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Surely they could at least play 23rd Dec most poeple will be working up to that date anyway then give them the 30th off in between . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. There not be many guys that don't stop work on the 22nd. Perfect for big turn outs at games. Folk chuffed there on holiday.
