All I know is that Pollok were ready and willing for this game to be played but the request was turned down.

JackD1908 100 Report post Posted April 19 Salcoats v Pollok will be the 7th of May at the earliest, unless the fixtures get backdated. The final was the 27th of May last year. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archieb 540 Report post Posted April 19 Irrespective of the usual back-of-a-fag-packet errors, it's pretty clear he's decided to prioritise getting the league positions finalised over the cups. Which makes complete sense given the need to identify participants not only for the ETC this year but also for the play-offs which clubs voted for at last year's AGM (Larkhall amendment). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At first glance it looks quite frustrating but as long as it is fair ....which it seems to be .. then it is ok by me! If you agree there are realistically 6 teams competing for top 4 places then they are all in much of the same place Between Saturday 21st and Saturday 5th the following fixtures have been allocated - just so happens the one we miss is the Saturday. Wishaw 7 Neilston 7 Roch 6 Shire 6 Rossvale 5 Bens 5 When you consider that Rossvale and Bens have played a couple more it seems pretty fair - the only thing I find frustrating from a Roch point of view is that our scheduled game against the Gow was postponed twice during the season (on a Saturday) we switched ties the 3rd time - and we now need to travel there on a Wednesday night - as you say it would probably have been more sensible for us to go to the Gow on the Saturday and host the Shire mid week - this would be better for supporters too. Don't suppose it is ever going to be perfect - can only hope that all the other challengers have similar issues to us when it comes to midweek games - let the madness commence!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
