Game off today

According to club Facebook post.

Yes due to a waterlogged pitch

Must be in a bad way if they've called it off so early.

Surprisingly WsM's game is off

Will see how many other games in the area are affected. No idea if it's just the location or how the pitch is maintained, but Havant seem to suffer a number of postponements. Pretty sure this is the third or fourth time it has been against us.

Hey ho, I wasn't going anyway, now have to decide if I search afar for another game or have an afternoon off.

Perhaps WSM can be paired with Havant next year at this time. I see Poole look likely to come up - perhaps they will be our Xmas opponents in 2016.

Personally, I'd kill off these Bank Holiday fixtures - the Boxing Day and New Years Day fixtures are fine and tend to attract good crowds but this one is just one game too many for clubs - and fans too if attendances over the last few years are taken into account - the nadir was surely reached last year when we had to go to Maidenhead on a Sunday and just over 300 turned up. Part time players don't need 2 games in 3 days and the pitches could do with a break as well. Those games played today may well put Saturday's matches at risk.

I see there are no Southern League games today - time for the same to apply at this level.

Unfortunately that's exactly what we will get now. Havant play at home on a Monday, so we will still have 2 games in 3 days......although an extra 4 hours 45 minutes to recover.
