It was really weird after tropical conditions there was a sharp frost last night. However they have 24 hours at above 7 degrees. No chance of being off.
Unless of course [emoji57]
Report we've had is that even if it's not frozen then it will be very heavy and will need an inspection either way. Has there been much rain up that way this week?

Sad news about ‘The Burgh’. Sadly they appear to have been bumping along the bottom for a few seasons now. I hope they can turn a corner soon and almost certainly could if some people from a big catchment area step up to help. Burgh used to be a really successful side years ago and were of the big names in the game.

Burgh have forfeited the tie

Sad sad day for the juniors , it's making our grade look amateur it really is

This is what happens when you give clubs (some of whom had been under the impression they had no fixture) less than 1 weeks notice for matches on the far side of the country on the 23rd of December. 

 

Earlier in this thread someone moaned about teams having been told they had this weekend off on the basis that players should just be told to get on with it because “they’re supposed to be semi professional”. But surely arranging matches on supposedly free weekends with 6 days notice is as amateur as it gets?

These cup fixtures shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, all clubs know that Scottish ties if cancelled will be played following week and the next and carry on till fulfilled,

Naw it’s no. This is what happens when someone for a few years pumps some cash into a club. They do well for a few seasons reach a cup final & hang around the top league for a season or 2 . The money man who incidentally was sponsoring the whole league at the time takes the huff & goes to an Ayrshire side sucked in by his promise of indescribable funds . 1st season he does great & gets the club to the quarters of the cup & mid table in the league . 2nd season it goes tits up. 3rd season the club is still blind until they have spent their budget & then sack him . He then returns to Burgh but by then it’s only him & a n other & that continues for 15 years until he chucks it eventually & leaves poor Ricky in the shit . The End

They actually done more than just reach a cup final.  Never been the same since Archie Halley retired.

No bloody much. Just like Pillok circa afore Thirds chucked it or is that another whole ball game? Ps we didn’t sack him . He was asked to resign emoji23.pngemoji23.png

A know we asked him to resign...we are good at that. Burgh won the league. Along with Jim Sillett , Walker was  probably in form manager in Central league at the time....just not the right guy for us , the right guy was already there.
