The time for a change of the rules is not today, it's too late for that. But when the AGM's come around everyone has forgotten about it, so nothing changes. Next winter we will have the same situation and still the same guidelines to adhere to. I know we're looking at an almost total wipe-out of tomorrow's fixtures, but until tomorrow, all games are on.

The1andonly Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, DanMan said: I get that, Its more about the time. If Hurlford and Larkhall are not playable today, I would doubt very much they would be playable tomorrow. So if game C was then to be played, (which is more likely) it would at least give both teams a chance to prepare, sort catering etc. As I say, not having a go, but I think the rules need looked at for call offs I assume that all parties involved are happy enough with the time period between games being called off ,this has happened for many years in the east so Kennie is to be applauded for allowing games to be rearranged in the event of call offs . Keep up the good work Kennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffiti on the wall Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I totally get Dan man's point it's absolutely ridiculous to wait till 9/10 to call of games then arrange another game within 4 hrs arranging food , hospitality,stewarding etc and especially for Dalry fans trying to get to Glasgow.Also I have a booked a bus for Larkhall for next Saturday so do I wait to monday to cancel as it's not opened over the weekend as that game will now be rescheduled .

Tom Wilson Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Only three games still on in the East Region are the ones at Lochore, Pumpherston and Rosyth. Rosyth the only ones who play on an artificial surface I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will still be dangerous even if there's not frost sitting on the top of the surface. You are right we started a friendly last year at Broadwood against cumbernauld colts and it got called off after 55 mins as the 3g pitch was frozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clash city rocker Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Joonyer fitba is slowly emerging from the Stoneage and Kennie is playing big part in that with a fixtures scenario that seemed nigh impossible to obtain only a season ago. Hopefully somebody will remind their delegate to raise the early postponement issue prior to AGM...and prior to the onset of alcohol consumption...then it may actually have a chance to be voted on.

combineharvester Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Let’s be realistic without officially postponing it teams would hv contacted traveling team to let them aware that game is off... most teams hv no doubt already made other arrangements for boys to train or let them no they hv sat off and to enjoy there weekend no dramas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
