Duraglit shareholder Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 After the recent spell of trying to get games on, or playing in force 10 winds that reduces games to a farce, why are so many reluctant to even try playing football in better conditions.Wouldn't it be better for kids football if they could play while actually being able to feel their toes through soaking wet boots.I always smile in June/July walking round the local football pitches, the grass nice and short looking perfect to play on. yet the council have taken the goalposts down.IMO summer football would improve what we watch, would bring more spectators to games, and seems it could be worth a shot, if it fails revert back to the howling wind and rain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only benefit is playing June and a week or two in May and July.It means you need to start the season in Feb or March and end it around December. Starting and ending the season when we have the most postponements would be difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they don't like change and obviously like seeing games getting postponed week in week out, standing in freezing conditions, getting soaked, it's mental in our climate we don't play summer football 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz5 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Or maybe because a summer season would run Feb/March to December so number of games off would remain high in any event. And you'd be playing through the summer school holidays for players and coaches who have kids so teams would be playing with weakened sides almost every week during July and August as a result.Personally, I don't see the benefit in summer football having looked at the pros and cons and I'm hardly one who would be categorised as change averse.

Kennie Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Now that we've moved to align everyone with 'Senior' football and therefore the Senior calendar. I think we can forget about this debate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Doesn't seem really viable as councils shut down council owned parks during the summer and Clubs with grass surfaces usually have to close parks for 4-6 weeks for annual maintance work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
