I must say as a Swinton fan I am disappointed that the game cannot go ahead.The Second league game at home we have had postponed. In my opinion I question the wisdom of the league starting in February. I think it might be time to consider starting the league in say Mid/late March or even the start of April with this weather we seem to be getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they could play on it, they don’t want to ruin it then no one will be able to play on it and it’ll cost money to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIWIT Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's supposed to be a summer game. February in the Northern Hemisphere is NOT summer. Start the season in March and play fewer games - the crowds in the winter are negligible anyway. And, speaking selfishly, it helps with TWP's scheduling problems. Doesn't solve them, but every little bit helps. Just for the record, we've had over a foot of snow the past few days and today is the first day the temp has climbed over freezing.

Barring the freak weather 2 years ago, summer in Manchester lasts around 3 weeks so it would be a pretty short season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
