How do the UCL......

Post by Trek »

.......sort out the fixture list? Whitworths have played 5 matches, all at home whereas we've only played one match at home out of 6. Buckingham and Harrowby are playing back to back league matches.
Where's the logic?

There is no logic, we have to take what is thrown at us I'm afraid - in the words of the big man "we shall overcome" :D

Keep an eye on Bugbrook, 3 games, 3 wins. +9 GD and 6-2 winners yesterday !!

The point I'm making doesn't just apply to us. Most leagues are sorted out on the basis of home one week away the next. I accept that our fixtures have to be arranged to accommodate Wellingborough but for some clubs to play blocks of home and away matches seems very strange.
Perhaps one of our 'UCL experts' can throw more light on to this?

We would have had 3 homes by now if the cup hadn't of taken priority, but least we can look forward to a good run of home games

It all comes down to pitch availability and the amount of Cup games that are being played at this time of the year.
John Walker the UCL Fixture Sec has been doing the job for about 20 years now and tries his hardest to juggle the fixtures, but unfortunately year on year they never appear to follow the week home, week away that everyone would like.
