LT1878 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 There can only be a couple of weeks of the season left, so why the hell not do we have fixtures from now until the end of the season! Teams looking to confirm play off places and then play the play off games! By default it looks like we’ll have a same day decider for the super premier league title through no thanks to the fixture man! To have 3rd round ties of a cup competition still to be played is a disgrace! To have fixtures only until next Saturday is an embarrassment!

The Ilford Drummer Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 If it wasn't so painful it would be quite funny. A title hanging in the balance between Beith and Talbot and the date of their last games is written on the back of an old guys fag packet to be revealed when he finds it.

I don't think it's a particularly illustrious remuneration package which is probably why they haven't managed to attract someone competent. Someone will correct me if this isn't right but I'm sure I read it was only about £7,000 p/a. Basically a part time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a part time job. 7k is a nice wee supplement to a pension especially as if you're over 65 it's not subject to NI. Add to that free football with hospitality, even if it's only tea and biscuits then it mounts up. IMO it's the Kudos rather than the money that drives those who won't give it up.

classof2010 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I was against a full fixture list especially with the movement to 16 team league but having sat down without a computer I managed to do a complete fixture list with about 10 weeks for fixture catch ups without having the 6 weeks of 4 games a week I know it’s all dependant on the weather and Scottish cup so if I can do it then guys with more experience than me should have no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Wishae as an example. Their fixtures have been dreadfully affected by weather. That has a knock on effect with others. I’m doubtful it’s as easy as you think.

I said weather and Scottish cup dependant as most people know and have said on here that the Scottish shud be moved that’s a no brainier and with the east haemorrhaging clubs the west are in such a strong position now to try and force such changes through for the good of our game and how often does a team ie wishaw have 13 Scottish postponements and throw in a couple of replays in the Scottish. The problem is our fixture guru isn’t proactive enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
