TimmyRaa Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Twitter states that floodlights on one side of the pitch aren’t working..... roughly translated as “our north Devon ringers aren't available tonight”!!!!!!! herbie777, Tribute, silly billy and 5 others 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Boy Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Can’t afford to lose another game so blame the floodlights 🏟️ Philheybrookbay and silly billy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky170267 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Plenty of time to switch the game to Kimberley Stadium, I just can’t understand why they’re allowed to get away with it every year. As if somebody would’ve tried to put the floodlights on in the middle of the day. How gullible are the league officials Philheybrookbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philheybrookbay Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm reminded of last season when that horrendous isolated storm hit Priory Park which led to Bodmin v Saltash being the only game cancelled throughout the whole of not just Cornwall but Devon, Somerset Dorset and Wiltshire. I'd be asking for the electrical quotes if I was on the league management committee. Its laughable and not a funny one at that.

tizcornish Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Farcical only Gilbert can get away with that one remember last season when the only match to be cancelled on that day in the whole of the south/west due to a water logged Priory Park, come on league officials get a grip, Guzzvaliant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How gullible are the league officials Clubs regularly test their floodlights during the day before an evening game for a pre-use check. Saves teams and officials travelling if there is an issue. OR, allows time for rectification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobjfh Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Last season was a bit different as in fairness to Bodmin the flooded pitch was caused by Highways work that diverted all the water from the road onto their pitch - I was in Bodmin that week and it was sodden. The lights issue, for me is different though - to play at this level you must have lights unless dispensation given. With the backlog of fixtures we will get and whatever happens with COVID the league cannot allow such cancellations. If you can’t play (other than a ref stating the pitch is waterlogged) either offer a switch or forfeit. I am not suggesting this is Bodmins fault but why should Saltash be effectively penalised. Test the lights earlier or the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Two Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 9 hours ago, leedsunited said: Blazey done it twice, Bodmin still got one in the bag.. 😉 Guess that makes it O.K. then Leeds, if St Blazeys situation was an avoidable one for a team of their stature, what's Bodmins excuse ? As we've said before, the league needs to have an updated statement of the condition of the facilities and equipment at ALL grounds before the season starts. Unforseen cicumstances such as power surges, lightning strikes etc are unavoidable, but general maintenance on site is paramount for the benefit of all concerned. Unfortunately some small cliques put the contents of the trophy cabinet before the wellbeing of their club and its supporters, and need to be reminded of the committment required for the game to survive at this level, off the pitch as well as on.
