theshed Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The fixture list is riddled with such anomalies. For example Yoker have 4 away games in their first 6 league fixtures, including 3 Saturdays away in a row. It's just more of the same. Put simply, the man is utterly out of his depth and hasn't got a clue how to schedule fixtures in a fair and balanced way, doing everything on bits of paper and complaining how difficult it is! He's also apparently unaware that Glenafton (and possibly Girvan) will be involved in a First Preliminary Round tie of the "big" Scottish Cup on 12th August as he has them playing Lugar in the Ardagh on that date, which will HAVE to be changed (and Girvan vs Craigmark has to be regarded as provisional). Girvan and Glenafton's fixtures listed for 2nd September, when the Second Preliminary Round is played, may also need shifting. At least with advance release of the fixtures clubs should have plenty of warning about their schedule, chaotic though it may be, and can hopefully get errors corrected. As for those runs of home or away fixtures ...... Why moan ? The clubs had a chance tae change n they bottled it. Out of interest and seen as you're so clued up wae pollok which way did your club vote? Robertson or kennie Young? I'm sure you will know as you seem to huv all the answers .

passbackdave Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Clydebank and Yoker are both away from home on the 9th September This sums Robertson up. The guy ain't got a clue. The seasons no even started n loads of clubs moaning about there fixtures. My club have 3 midweek sectional games then away 2 the league and Scottish winners some would moan but it gets ye nowhere cos some clubs don't want 2 progress so the junior game doesn't move forward n it's a shame cos there is some really good teams and grounds at this level but some smaller clubs holding the bigger clubs back. Mon the papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenafton v Lugar in the Ardagh has been moved to Monday 14th August so, barring a postponement or (heaven forefend) a replay, the Glenafton v Newton Stewart tie is taken care of. On 2nd September, when Girvan are away to St Cuthbert's in the SFA Cup and Glenafton/Newton Stewart home to Golspie, BOTH Girvan and Glenafton are still shown playing home league games, vs Cumnock and Talbot, respectively. Presumably if Glenafton defeat NS, that will be changed to a Talbot v Cumnock derby, either at Beechwood or Townhead. But why not change it NOW and give the home club adequate warning and time to plan for such a high-profile fixture? Too much like common sense?

If the 2nd Sept is rearranged to Cumnock V Talbot that will be both games played within the first 7 fixtures.

The issue does illustrate the usual lack of joined-up thinking though, as the alternative means at least a third scheduled fixture needing to be changed. These situations ought to be anticipated and avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and that wasn't ideal either but Talbot wanted a game on the September weekend and Arthurlie were the only possible opponents but as I say I would rather have a game than not.
