Unfortunately the Cambridge University v Cambridge University Press Match tonight has been postponed. Parts of the pitch are rock solid and icy, there is no sun this morning to start a thaw and in they we now have fog come in to add to very cold conditions.
They will try hard to reschedule the match.
If the forecast is correct they are very optimistic that Thursday afternoon's Match between The Falcons and Newport County FC U.18`s will be played and, more so, Sunday morning's Match ( 10.30 ) between The Blues and The Territorial Army F.A.

Have just heard from Chris Berezei that the CML Easter hop is fully booked
both for the coach and accommodation. I would like to do the four matches
scheduled for Good Friday and was wondering if any car driver planning to do
these games had a spare place in their car. I would, of course, be happy to
contribute towards the petrol. I can contacted either at
icsbursar@skola.co.uk or on 07985 423181.

18/2/08 14:21 Brian Buck - From Cambridge University: With deep frosts and unhelpful weather forecasts it looks like we may have some problems again!
Tomorrow evening is the first doubt - v Cambridge University Press. Pitch Inspection at 10a.m. tomorrow ( Tuesday.)
For Thursday's Match between The Falcons and Newport County FC Under 18`s a decision will have to be made on Wednesday as NC will leave about 7a.m.
For Sunday's Match v TA, as they are travelling to Cambridge on Friday we may have to make a decision late on Thursday or, at the latest, on Friday Morning to stop them travelling and incurring huge Hotel Bills and travel costs including for some, flights into Stansted.
Hopefully there will be a sudden heat wave!

| 15/2/08 20:54 Roderick Grubb - Two Midland Combination clubs are reported to be looking for new grounds next season as the Newbury Lane, Oldbury Leisure Centre is being developed later this year and the pitch will be lost.

| 14/2/08 20:57 Webmaster- Gremlins have struck in my inbox. Please could those who forwarded messages earlier in the week (one which included a ground in the West Midlands that will soon be redeveloped and another about a trip to Poland) please forward again. Sorry about that.

7/2/08 00:48 Stuart J.Pykett- For those interested Silksworth Community of the Wearside League look to be issuing programmes on a regular basis.They issued for my midweek visit on Wednesday 6th February versus Hartlepool F.C.
It is a computer produced eight pager given away with the £2.00 addmission charge.
It contained two lengthy articles by the manager and a commitee member plus stats and visitors information taken from the Wearside League website.The Hartlepool team wasn't listed though the Silksworth squad was.There was also a quiz. A very worthwhile effort
|
5/2/08 12:18 George and Maureen Osborne- I've found postees on this site are very knowledgable and helpful.On this occasion I am seeking info on visiting Cracovia FC in Krakow .I've learned that they are at home weekend 15/3 to Gornick Zabreze.What worries me is that some sites mention the problem of violence at games.I am travelling with the wife and to put it politely we are now of an age where we can't run very fast(or at all).Any comments,thoughts, experiences from travellers would be greatfully received.

4/2/08 19:15 Mark Dawson- Visited Guilsfield FC of Cymru Alliance for their ''giantkilling'' Welsh Cup victory v Caernarfon Town. Their new ground which I was unaware of is directly adjacent to the current ground and looks ready for use. One supporter I spoke to said they are hoping to put seats into the stand and he expects it to be ready for next seaon. However I wouldn't delay if you haven't yet ticked this off. I can confim that the new ground is behind the hedge and in no way overlaps the current ground. |
| 2/2/08 10:02 Mike Floate- The Football Grounds of South East London: I apologise for the delay in publication but a combination of last-minute research becoming necessary to tie down facts on Woolwich Arsenal and also Bostall Heath coupled with my spotting a problem with boxes around photos being wrongly aligned after the proof copy was done have caused a delay. I hope it will prove popular with the new format allowing better use of the excellent photos available. Also any photo taken in colour has been printed in colour! It should be ready for me to collect on Friday Feb 15th (More) |
