Must say Normy didn't seem like they wanted to play. They claimed all morning how their ground was perfect but when the ref and King Cross offered to go to Normanton to play the pitch was suddenly unfit. Surely can't be related to KXP having their England players unavailable next week.
Now then, now then, shall I put my our side of the storey across.
You quote " THE REF AND KING CROSS" offered to go to Normanton.
When our U14's left to go to your place they did'nt know our U15's and one of the junior games had been called off by a referee.
We ALL know this was a semi-final for the BARLA Yorkshire Cup, and we ALL know if it is cancelled twice at the home ground it goes to the oppositions ground.
I was informed by people that were there that,THE REFEREE OFFERED IT TO BOTH COACHES, for the game to be played but would they both sign a bit of paper saying that they (COACHES) agreed the game should be played.
So we have to ask some questions here?
1. If the pitch/pitches were playable, why did'nt the game go ahead.
2. The referee gets paid to make decisions, so why is he asking coaches if the pitch is fit enough?
3. Games are called off at Normanton for other teams, so how could this game go ahead.
4.Its irrelevent that KX have players out for England the following week, who can predict that this game will happen next week?
5. This game has to go ahead choose what, so lets just play the game whatever and where ever its played, at the end of the day a field is just a field.
Just had to pop that one in there
