shawy13 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Shocked at Clock Face applying. They just got relegated from NWML Premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopping Mad Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Does this mean Barrow Island have sorted out the pitch (by the clubhouse) they had relaid a couple of years ago? It was unusable. Would the NCL be happy for them to play on the odd, turtle-shaped field out the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The rfl should be helping out if the pitch hasn't already been sorted, it was a contractor working for them that done the damage I was told, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Rooster Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Clock Face could not raise a team to play Shevington this season. On the same day their second team thrashed Salford City Roosters second team? Decent set up there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Clock Face could not raise a team to play Shevington this season. On the same day their second team thrashed Salford City Roosters second team? Decent set up there though. That's bonkers playing a second team fixture when the first team can't raise a side - in fact it used to be against the rules didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonch Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Pitch hasn't been sorted the other one is a shocker "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

TaxiEgg Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 One of my fondest memories was when I coached the Miners 18s we played Barrow Island on a sloping pitch at the side of a farmers field , there was a hand bags at dawns episode which spilled over into the said field , full of cow pats we didn't have camera phones back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the NCL be happy for them to play on the odd, turtle-shaped field out the back? Is the quality of the pitch one of the factors that's taken into consideration when the management are looking into allowing teams to enter the league? Serious question. I don't know exactly what the criteria is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question. I don't know exactly what the criteria is. Be good to know. Shame the criteria aren't listed on the NCL website. Did Barrow Island use the 'back pitch' during their previous membership of the NCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopping Mad Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Good to hear. Does that net gain of five Div Three teams on 2016 come from three down (from Div Two), only one promoted and the three newcomers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They're promoting two so the only thing I can think of is they might have dropped Elland an extra division for calling off a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They're promoting two so the only thing I can think of is they might have dropped Elland an extra division for calling off a game? Yes. It's 12 12 12 14 for the divisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutralfan Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Beefy1 and hoppingmad if you go onto the NCL website go into downloads on the top right and then go into ncl appendices and it shows you the criteria to get into the NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Do all 3 entrants have youth setups? What happened to Doncaster Toll Bar - did they not apply or not meet some criteria? What does the future hold for Cas Panthers now - will they compete in Yorkshire Premier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopping Mad Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Looks like West Bowling will be using Clayton's ground at Lidget Green. The pitch, next to Bankfoot Cricket Club, on which they played during their previous spell in the NCL is now used by Wibsey FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
