Looking at the weather forecast I’m thinking I may have a free evening tomorrow - not looking great is it?

Fingers crossed but forecast is grim, not only today but for a few days not impossible that we could loose all 3 home games over next week to this bloody weather last thing we need in our current form.
Feel sorry for Clubs and officials when it’s like this, Hitchin tried and got last nights game on Leiston make the long trip, delayed start due to traffic then match abandoned before halftime, 1st comment from the nice lady at Hitchin who allows us all an opinion on Southern league forum but reminds us we’re wrong should it differ from hers is “should never have been on in the first place” Stourbridge have a late afternoon downpour and ref calls it off early and 1st comment regarding that decision was he obviously doesn’t know our pitch and how well it drains if he’d have waited it would have been fine.

It would be a real shame for any of the three games to be postponed as they represent a good chance to get some points and really move us into the play off zone . Especially as we are playing so well at the moment. At the turn of the year I genuinely thought we could win all seven games in January!
From I personal view I returned to Northants last night specifically to attend these three home games, so will be very disappointed to have them postponed.
I know I have griped about this before, but why do the League insist on re arranging postponed matches within a certain number of weeks. Invariably January is a bad month for weather, plus Tuesday night attendances are often very poor. Both the NM and Hednesford games could easily be fitted into Feb or March.
Anyway fingers crossed for tonight, at the moment the sun is shinning and the wind is strong.

Tonights game against Needham Market has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Rain forecast for the rest of this week also, so I would expect the Stratford game on Saturday to go a similar way.

Hednesford next Tuesday has got a chance if the forecast is accurate.

I don't understand that as well, why the league insist on these league games being re arranged within a certain number of weeks, makes no sense to me, and befalls me, weather can be a right nonsense.

Needham Market and Royston matches both need rearranging.

Needham Market and Royston matches both need rearranging.

I’m absolutely certain that our Club Secretary knows this and is working on it. As stated elsewhere, once the new dates have been agreed, supporters will be advised and the fixture list updated.
