The referee probably just didn't want to get cold. Women in football...it'll never work.

Apparently the rumour going around now is that Grays should of had a local referee look at the pitch earlier but didn't. So when the ref rolled up she was the first person to view the pitch other than the teams and decided it was unplayable. So it would appear that it was Grays dropping the ball and not the ref. Whatever happened its all very poorly managed

Article on the York Press site about saturdays game. Maybe it was the refs fault. Like i say it's a complete mess whatever has happened.

Wakefield.F.C. Vs Ossett Albion 1pm kick off Sunday 3rd Jan, should be a cracking local match, nutrals welcome

, for Directions see my Signature...

Warrington Town v Halifax this Saturday.



Weather permitting, this should be a cracker, and a 'money spinner' of course!



Really hope this game gets the nod, not played in a month but what a return of a match it promises, on and off the pitch.

It'll be off.



We've got a 'home' game at Ashton Utd against Curzon Ashton, but apparently the pitch is still under 6 inches of snow.

It's supposed to get up to 5 degrees in Durham on Saturday, and we've got an artificial pitch (the source of many woes, incidentally), but this was the latest photo of the pitch:

Clubs themselves cannot say whether a game is on or off - that decision is purely down to the match referee - or, indeed, a local referee if needed. They should've got someone down there earlier to look at it and decide. It was Grays' fault.



As for the weather... It'll be like starting a new season by the time we next play. I reckon our game against Bradford PA on Saturday will be called off tomorrow.

Think the UniBond can get a lot of credit for finally showing some common sense and allowing games to be postponed on the Friday (without an inspection by a referee, I might add, as long as the visiting club agrees to it). Looking at Hurst Cross (below), I don't think our game has much chance of going ahead! Scouring the fixtures for back-up plans which will all inevitably be called off by half 12 on Saturday.

Do you know if Durham University rugby league play on this pitch?



We're scheduled to play them next Wednesday on an artificial pitch!

FC Halifax Town 4

Bamber Bridge 1



last night,



was a good game, another Deano hattrick 28 goals from 28 games for him.



still games in hand on teams above and below us, am pretty confident of a play off place already.

Warrington Town v Leigh Genesis tomorrow evening, another interesting game in prospect.
