Was about to post the same thing, it could be a lot worse, it's March and they haven't even played half their season yet because of their Vase run and the weather! At the end of the season in May, they'll even have to play in the league twice in 24 hours.

Obviously success in Cup competition is partly responsible for any clubs back log of fixtures but it does seem to be a particular issue with non-league clubs who ground share and, in this respect, this has hit us very hard this season coupled with the exceptionally wet and inclement weather over the last two months and the drainage problems. I recall when a match was postponed earlier in the season Rushden & Higham tweeting to say it was the first in a number of seasons at Hayden Road. It is rather ironic to see the excellent condition at the Dog & Duck as a result of reduced usage although clearly that won’t survive the snow which has even scuppered matches on 3G surfaces.

The Non League Paper will be a bit thin this week!! But the letters page may be worth reading.

Indeed, this is the list of games that are currently on as it stands and as you can see there are just 7 games in the entirety of steps 1-4 that haven't already been postponed and I imagine a few of these won't pass inspections either, an extremely quiet weekend... :sad:
