GAMES OFF ON SUNDAY - ANY NEWS?

A mate who plays for a LSL team has had a message saying all Western Park games off this Sunday? Any confirmation on this?

All pitches will still be frozen over, if you dont get any sun on yours early enough, no game.

oadby should be fine then!

According to James, Leicester City Council have postponed some venues but not all. James is aware and is working on the issue. I have no other news yet as to which venues are involved.

When playing on a school pitch, is it down to the school itself to decide in advance? (IE Judgemeadow where we play CFA on Sunday)

In the first instance - yes. A third party pitch provider will always have an over-riding authority regarding the fitness of a pitch. This applies to Local Authorities, Education sites etc etc. There can be no argument with that decision irrespective of what an individual club may think - as was the issue last Sunday.

Even if the pitch provider permits a game to be played, the appointed match referee still has a duty to determine that the pitch is actually fit for play.

Thanks for clearing that up.

oadby council have not cancelled any pitches yet. bingo bango boys and girls

Victoria Park appears to be on if that helps anyone?!

Hi Karl,

There are cancelations this week at a few locations, but Victoria Park is on.

If the ground is frozen like it was this morning, then it would be down to the referee to make the call on the day.

If a ref turns up and says pitch not playable due to frost or whatever do we still have to pay him?

In the event of a match not being played because of circumstances over which the clubs have no control, the Match Officials if in attendance at the ground are entitled to half fee

Our pitch will be fine what are the council doing. Can't we just play it anyway

PM sent - but the information is readily available in the County FA handbook and in the Cup Draw booklet/email

Our Sunday Premier Cup game away at Loughborough Saints if off due to their first team having an FA Cup fixture from last week to play and that takes priority.
