Shed load of non league games cancelled now

Brexit still going well I see.

I think that you'll find most non league fixtures at this time of the year are postponed for clashes with the Trophy and Vase games.

The postponed matches were midweek (over 30 matches) and were because of the 'fuel crisis'. There was a round of Vase matches last weekend, I went to watch one. I'm not sure how far the Trophy has progressed, but the postponements were nothing to do with Cup fixtures.

This is from the Plymouth local paper.......

Truro City’s Southern League clash with Dorchester Town has been postponed due to the shortage of fuel in some areas.

Tuesday’s fixture is one of more than 35 non-league games due to be played this midweek that has bitten the dust.

The match, which would have been played at Bolitho Park in Plymouth, where the White Tigers are playing this season, is one four games from the same level of the Southern League to have been postponed.

Frome Town's match at Bideford this evening is postponed due to a floodlight issue.

I left my Barrow hotel at 7:30 am on Saturday to ensure I could get enough fuel at the nearby Tesco to get home.

Apparently tarpaulin had become wrapped around some of the lights and there were all sorts of health & safety and ownership hoops to jump through before someone was allowed to climb up and remove it!
