The most ridiculous set of fixtures ever concocted by a Football authority .
You have to feel sorry for these guys, whether you like 'em or not.
What a fantastic effort by this team, who have surely been ROBBED of any chance of making the play offs, simply because of an unrealistic schedule !

Wow that's an incredible pileup of fixtures. Is this due to bass weather during the winter?

I would like someone to tell me 'why'..coz I just don't know.
I did notice that they had many games in hand though..months ago., & wondered how the problem would be resolved,
But it hardly seems fair to me, compiling so many games into 1 month.
almost a game every 2 days !
That ain't right.

Never prioritise the West Ridings County Cup, even big Duzza doesn't bother with that comp!

Yeah it has been a farce really, but we have managed to get in the play-offs which was a minimum at the start of the season. The reason for the backlog was due to the FA Trophy due to reaching the quarter finals stage. Also due to the Shay pitch been unplayable due to the adverse weather over autumn/winter we went nearly a month without a home game.
Its Guernsey who I feel sorry for playing every other day and even asking Matt Le Tissier to play for some of the games.

Shayman...
Do you think you would have finished higher had the games been spread out a little more ?
They would have to have been bug Argh'd even half way through that lot.

I think we could have finished 3rd but don't think we would have finished higher or even challenged Chester if we planned all our games on the set date.
