They should be docked points for being unable to fulfil fixtures in accordance with the rules.

Playing home games at other venues mid season, without prior agreement, is wrong.

Yes agree .. isnt this breaking the NL rules ? would have thought a small points deduction in this case but appears lucky to get away with it.

Not if you do the correct way and ask the leagues permission which was granted.

Nothing happened to Morecambe did it.

Dale saying their new pitch is being laid on 17 Jan and will be playable 7 days later on 24th for their match v Truro. Seems an optimistic turnaround.

New Year Pitch Progress Update

I can imagine there being stability issues.
I can remember our first seasons at Glanford Park, the pitch was free draining and was based on sand. Later in the season the linos were ankle deep in sand.
It takes time to settle.

Our match there is now 17 Feb.

Isn’t it one of those semi synthetic pitches or have I just made that up?

[Iron-awe]

Google reckons it takes 4 to 8 weeks for a new pitch to settle before regular games are played on it and warmer temperatures settle the pitch quicker, certainly nothing in that information suggests Rochdales time scale sounds right.

[Awaywego]

No you haven’t made it up Ironawe, they’ve put down an hybrid pitch, supposedly you can play on it 5 days after being laid.

[Deereyme66]

The proof will be in the puddle. Sorry, pudding.
