Off again tonight v Chippenham!! Surely questions have to be asked now by the League!
Reversing the fixture might be the answer now, but shortly we have Truro v Taunton!! Just where can they play that?

Surely there’s a rule that covers if a game gets called off more than once against the same opponent at the same ground that the affected team gets a 3-0 win

Not sure such a rule exists, but it should do!! At the very least they should forfeit home advantage and play it at the other teams ground!!

It happened earlier this season with a team I help out with. Three postponements at home due to a waterlogged pitch and then the tie was reversed, before two more postponements meant the tie was played four days before the next round! I imagine some sort of rule must exist with the league though because I doubt this is the first time something like this has happened in recent years with the amount things get called off. Of course, if that is the correct rule for the league, what the heck happens with Truro and Taunton?  |

I'll repeat again, there's been heck of a lot of rain in the West Country and Taunton's pitch is on low-lying land. Where is the water to go? |

Wealdstone v Hendon in the Trophy today was a reversed fixture following what has been said in the comment above!

But don't let something trivial like the weather get in the way of a good conspiracy  |

Where is the water to go? Ahh yes, good point! But don't let something trivial like the weather get in the way of a good conspiracy I appreciate there’s been a lot of rain and the weather can play havoc but Truro and Taunton now both have 6 games in hand on some of the teams in the league and Taunton had the same issue last season, if I remember rightly they almost had a game a day by the end. I appreciate you can’t punish teams because of weather but there’s got to be some sort of rule as someone said above where the fixture is reversed. The bigger concern is knowing the Taunto pitch / Weather issue who in the league agreed the Truro & Taunton ground share and what happens if the teams haven’t completed their fixtures when the season ends. |

They have 6 games in hand on just 2 teams in the league. Most of the league are only 3/4 in front. Also it affects them and their own performances, visiting clubs only have to reschedule one game in a week where Taunton are playing multiple - that's punishment enough. |
