Dick_Valentine Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 You’d expect whoever initially piped up with the Chesterfield plan to have been led off to the bottom block, but only Latics could agree to that. What a shit show. If Chesterfield have got anything about them, they’ll have print offs of James Norwood and his pre season ‘let’s go win the league’ nonsense stuck up all over the gaff. Can’t think of anything worse. Bobbins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Halifax have pissed us about long enough with this fixture. Playing at chesterfield is a joke, 100 mile round trip. Get a refund so it costs Halifax more to host this fixtur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Is anyone that bothered anymore? Even Southend are likely to finish above us now even if Halifax and Aldershot bottle it. I'm going to neither game, it's pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Well I won't be going to Chesterfield on a Thursday night, I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of refunds tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishfly Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Have I missed something or is there any reason it could not have been switched to BP with agreement? Much closer for Halifax etc. - and they know our home form isn't exactly great don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 From a relatively cursory examination of league rules the only possible sanction for Halifax if they hadn't been able to fulfil the fixture at all is a fine of between £2,500 and £10,000. They do have an obligation to have a pitch that is fit for purpose but there is no specific sanction for not doing so. The rules in that section are more about the pitch itself rather than its condition at any particular time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Surely with the better weather Halifax pitch will be just fine on Thursday?. It's almost as if both clubs dont want any fans there which is shocking really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Game needs to be Thursday next week, no ifs or buts. It’s not up to us in anyway to find alternative arrangements. We may well have objected, but what else can they do? MM was complaining about the situation in his pre-match presser for yesterday, so i’m pretty sure we’ve expressed our dissatisfaction with the situation. What next shall we complain about and blame the club for? I think it’s a disgrace we are having to play at 12:15 on Saturday to be honest, and it’s the clubs fault we are having to play our 3rd consecutive Saturday home game at dinner time! MM out!

I imagine if we didn't agree to it, it would class as us forfeiting the match and a 3-0 win would go to Halifax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
