Default Re: Covid and the National league

As the Winter weather really sets in, more postponements are inevitable. Currently, 4 or 5 games are being postponed from each full schedule due to Covid-19, I expect this to continue for several more weeks.

The full season has 506 games; only 167 have been played, an average of 14.5 per team, when at this stage all teams should have played 19 games for a total of 218 games. So 51 games are currently to be rescheduled.

There are full fixture lists scheduled on 6 Tuesdays, 2 Mondays and 1 Friday during the remaining 20 weeks. This leaves 8 or 9 'slots' available for a mid-week game. Geraint and his opposite numbers have an insurmountable task.

“ Hello, we need to reschedule our game.”
“Yes, how about this date.”
“Sorry, we already rescheduled another game into that slot how about this one.”
“Ah, I just filled that one an hour ago, I’ve got this one.”
“No, can’t do that, there’s space on ….”
