Ya heard it from horses mouth if home team pitch was unplayable day of match and Aul said they had to give away team option to take it that was rubbish imagine teams that lost points because of this surely clubs will ask this question be interesting to hear if any club secretary’s got email from peppa or Martin to say they didn’t have to travel if pitch wasn’t playable
Harsh your in the game awhile now to understand that the cork aul only make up the rules as they go on for years that was SUPPOSEDLY the rule and which team wiggled out of that rule CASTLEVIEW and where is the astro pitches going with funding from the cork aul I'm smelling something fishy here, obviously peppa is looking after them like bowing down to there own demands and rules instead of implementing the rules, couldn't make this upOriginally Posted by Harsh ref
Fish I see your not pal of Aul but I just want it out there is it right teams do not have to reverse fixtures and have every club person received this email telling um they don’t let me know here I’m building a profile against all Aul slip ups where.
There has never been a rule that for a league fixture if the homes team pitch isn’t playable it must be reversed if you haven’t already played at the other venue.
Fruice I’m sure any secretary from any club on here will definitely confirm that if their pitch was unplayable they have being told by Aul to ring other team to see if their pitch is playable game must go ahead that was happening when I was secretary of my club
Any games going ahead today lads
Coachford 5 - 0 Castleview
Hat trick for Casey
That 100% was never in rule you may have been asked at times but were under no obligation to travel if you refused to reverse a league fixture you do not have to travel
I'm not sure what the rule is but not sure what reason you could use for not playing the reverse fixture.
From what I’ve been told and have been asked is that if your pitch is deemed as unplayable that you play reverse fixture but not on a different day maybe it changes for each situation like if the ref can travel from the city to the country etc for example few weeks ago i asked to play other fixture team agreed but ref wouldn’t travel
Heard J C gone to Temple utd from Village?? Anyone confirming?
Heard it was a 3rd division AUL team he went to, he’s working outside the city Monday to Saturday so the games on a Saturday were killing him, heard it from a village player but it was in the pub so who knows what the story is
Check the connect app that will tell you
Says Temple United on the App doesn't say if it Senior or Junior
I’ll repeat what I’m saying last few years if Aul block booked all weathers pay half both teams pay half we’d have a lot more football but that cult only interested in what they bring in for their day out 20 years same ol story. and on Johnny C is any person that knows him on here or ye actually surprised All his career John was never a player who knuckled down worked hard when times got tough he’d moan get booked either be taking off or sent off so if anyone here believed John was going to dig deep work hard help village when they weren’t going to win anything yer mad rant over
What astro are the meant to block book?
Mayfield unite? As an example Used by 2 AUL teams as home pitch, all of mayfield school boys, youths and adult teams. Add in the CBL teams plus the underage city boys and girl teams you’d be hard pushed to block that pitch. Mayfield school is not approved so that can’t be used. All other Astros belong to clubs so it would be the same as mayfield united so that’s not really and option until they build there own. Heard it’s in trouble too and Castleview may not go ahead. Easy to blame the league here but let’s be honest it’s up to the clubs to provide a pitch not the league.
And John is a top man and player.
This level of consistent rain is impossible to deal with since November we have had one dry week and that was durning the Christmas break.
A lot of AUL teams are one team clubs who could normally take a chance at playing a game as a pitch might not be needed for a week or two after and could have time to recover.
But this season no club can take a chance on pitches such is the volume of rain.
Next week is somewhat better but if you played on 90% of grass pitches in the next two weeks you would destroy them.
Whilst I agree you can’t block book facilities such is the demand by the host club.
We must think outside the box and head to some place like Banteer.
Book it for something like the 1st weekend after Christmas and play all the first round of games of the AOH there one after the other.
Or book it twice in the year for each division and play a round of fixtures there on a Sunday for example do this twice in the winter months so no club is disadvantaged.
I choose Banteer as I know it’s not owned by any club.
Just a few ideas might be a bit mad.
Some teams haven't played in 6 or 7 weeks. That's nowhere near enough astro pitches but they are a huge financial undertaking
In Trouble as in the Aul pulling out or the whole thing in general? My 2 boys play with Castleviews schoolboys Academy. There full boot up there. Dressing rooms look done all the banks are dug up and there started the carpark up there its some difference already.
New entrance there aswell. There Chairman is the manager of the Academy aswell amd it seems all go from them even tellong the kids its there last season on the small astro.
Its badly needed in the northside.
Won everything in the game scored some magnificent goal s ..mouth like a hippo..fantastic player drive team mates on got them mad but it drove them in ..more good than bad to be fair as for booking s refs just couldn’t wait to do it .. some good some bad ref 25% hadn’t a clue and did it for the money and their little agenda..I say he has no regrets..
