Who has signed up to the Wednesday Night Football Special???

After speaking with Dennis earlier regarding the Wednesday Night football, what teams have said they fancy it?

I think its a great idea from the league, a one-off night game under the floodlights in front of a crowd more than 1, hope our reserves get a game in before December (hint hint!).

After attending the general meeting last night, for those that do not know, the games are now likely to happen at Friar Lane and Epworth instead of Oadby Town.

Thanks for the positive comments Tom. We hope other clubs take on board your comments and enthusiasm.

After further developments this evening, the first Wednesday Night Football game is scheduled for 22nd September at FLAE, Knighton Lane East. More details are to be announced soon. Please keep checking the forum and website for further details.

We've signed up for it, so at the moment its AC vs Sparta Parva!

We have signed up to, great idea, as the cost is not going to be substanitally different to normal match days

Looking forward to watching a few games to!

A nominal admission to the ground will be charged by the League which will used to pay for the ground. The clubs will only be responsible for sharing the cost of the 3 officials.

Inter Mivan has shown intrest from Div 4, the lads are well up for it so hope we can get a game sorted!!

I know nothing about this. Can someone enlighten me on the details in full? Cheers

The League is keen to promote an initiative to play some League fixtures on a Wednesday evening under floodlights on a ground with decent facilities. Having agreed matters, we were let down by Oadby Town, but Friar Lane and Epworth have now kindly agreed to join with us in the arrangement.

It should provide a night out for Alliance League followers, and others interested in local football, and we hope to make it a regular monthly feature.

The League will charge a nominal admission to cover ground costs. The competing teams will cover the Referee and Assistants costs, as with any other game.

Hopefully a good night out for all - and we can talk about it in the bar afterwards.

Teams have been asked to declare an interest, and those who have not yet done so, but wish to be considered should contact James

The first fixture has been arranged for Wednesday 22 September - 7.30pm kick off. The participating teams for that game will be disclosed in due course.
