Not a fine, but there's a big presentation made to Stoke every year they manage to complete their fixtures. Not sure what the presentation consists of because I haven't seen it, as I have only followed the sport since 1956 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Tbf Stoke have previous, Buxton don’t, and Coventry seem to have stadium availability issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argos Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 So does a team get fined if they don’t complete there fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icicle Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Why should they? Not all their fault the fixtures for this season have been arranged by an idiot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they had no say in the fixture arrangements ? They didn't agree to any of the dates , they were just told when I ride ? I think not.

It’s very unprofessional though. When clubs decide it’s cheaper not to complete their fixtures as they would loose more money than to run it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I feel sure that Stoke have not completed their fixtures in the last three seasons. There are fines for not completing fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I half hope it pisses down all september and eastbourne dont get fixtures completed due to em swerving virtually the whole summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Fines can be applied if a team does not complete their official fixtures by 31st October and have been in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 What if you have fixtures planned in (like Worky did for example) and then get them removed? A bit harsh penalising teams then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Scunthorpe kings Lynn wolves and Poole are exempt but the others have to do as they are told. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of fining Coventry? They won't be in existence beyond this season. Leicester will be running their own NL team next year and no way will Brandon be rebuilt, so the Bees will be hive-less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a quite reasonable point of view to take if you're an official at the BSPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the explanation re the post poning of the Buxton match on 10 June been made yet? I ask as I was waiting for this before deciding whether to go to the Buxton match on July 8th. As I had not heard anything decided to go to Scunthorpe instead. Also a home National League match against Stoke which was Tbc on the fixtures now removed. Has this been cancelled altogether?

Stoke weren't keen on visiting Buxton on 16th September as they are at Eastbourne the night before - hence the TBC. This date has now been utilised by Bham in order for them to get their fixture in before the cut off (weather permitting). The Stoke match will be run on a date to be agreed in Oct.

Islander15 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 A genuine question Jayne (and I know it’s not only Buxton that this happens to) but given the fixture congestion every year in September and then meetings that don’t affect anything in October, is there any cohesion to avoid this in future? Surely more meetings in June, July & August make sense with September for finals, POs etc with no league fixtures in Oct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
