Pitch fees

If your game gets called off and the opposition offer there pitch and we agree are they In a position to try and rape us for 45 in pitch fees?

I would say that they deserve to get at least what your pitch would have cost you. I personally would then needs to split the difference with the other club.

So if your teams pitch is usually 35 and the opposition is 45, i think you should pay 40. If you catch my drift

To be fair are pitch is almost free so that wouldn't satisfy them

We pay £45 for our pitch,(just ask o+w council). Over the years we have had to switch grounds and have always paid for it. I thought it was standard. Our pitch took a battering but both teams were up for a game,no silly weds night fixture yet you still feel hard done by. Baffles me but as I say it seems logical

If you had announced u were going to bill us 45 for the privilege of traveling across leicester the game would never of taken place

so, say your pitch cost you 15, then as a minimum i would suggest you pay 15 and then split the balance.

I don't think you can have too many complaints here, plus, if your pitch is nearly free, your club must be loaded, share the wealth

If people like myself paid up we would be I'm a sinner this year

Like we travelled to thurnby after I texted your sec who said a light covering of water on the pitch and would be fine. The referee and the league thought it a good idea as did the majority of your lads. Despite your reluctance to help with the goals I thought it went well. We have paid more for switched games and it isn't like we're tryin to rip you off. Very sad indeed. Unfortunately I may be forced to ask the league to intervene as we didn't do anything wrong

Mate I asked a simple question stop spilling emotional dribble it don't come out my pocket I was curious as never known it to happen

Fair enough, questions hopefully answered and end of

Normally if I get a game reversed or if teams ask me if they can reverse a game I say that this will be the home game of the club actually hosting the game and then we will reverse later in the season to be fair.

Cup games are obviously different and then I always get the clubs to negotiate and agree.

When a game has already been played such as Niffy Reserves v Humberstone and then the second game gets reversed because of a problem so the second league game gets played at the same venue as the first it's my opinion that the away team pick up the full costs so the venue and referee, they are classed as the home team after all and yesterday's result went onto the grid as Humberstones home game?

I always try to get the teams to agree before the game to avoid conflict but understand this is not always possible and rushing on a Sunday morning can restrict this!!

Set rules need putting in place.

We are getting the money changed into coppers I believe haha

If we had let u win would it have been silver? Ah well it all goes to the bank, cheers

Would of made no difference we have nothing to aim for and as far as I'm aware at the end of the season we are no more will ya take two pound a month them adverts do

We had no issue when we reversed with QPR for our second game, I thought it was just obvious that we would have to pay as it would be unfair for them to pay for the same fixture twice.

My only point was if this was mentioned when stood at our place we would of not bothered

A wonderful example of the great spirit within the Alliance League.

Why would we volunteer to pay treble out costs when we could just wait lol

Did you volunteer to pay anything?

I think you are on a loser here mate. Most people would expect to pay, why you would expect a team to pay over a ton to play you is beyond me lol

Whats your real name tightarse bramble...

Like I said it doesn't come out my pocket I don't remember anything being discussed I've moved on now

Both teams are free to agree to accept any form of payment whether legal tender or otherwise according to their wishes... seashells

we had loughbro in county cup 2 seasons ago, game got reversed as it kept getting called off at their ground, cant say too much on here but i didnt half rape their treasurer

He wouldnt of felt it any way, not with your little todger.
