2015 NEW FM League thread

Not having watched them at all this year so just a guess, Ty Jones would have to be a major factor in their success so far. great skill and always looks like he wants it more than everyone else. #fanboy.

I have heard that their keeper has been keeping them in most of their games. That was certainly the case when I watched the lakes match. They are doing well,but I think wallsend and valentine will be too good for them

After the pasting we got from rain the last few days my plans for today are screwed.

Any of the New FM games survive the weather????

Wallsend were a few levels ahead of westy on the day . Looked like Wallsend were the top of the table side and westy a mid table side which is where they will probably finish. Wheeler and Hodgson may be past there best but were still way too classy for westy and if Wallsend can keep these two injury free they will go close to beating valo and lakes to promotion. If they meet the criteria that is

All games were washed out due to Saturday's heavy rain.

Thanks.

Didnt realise we lost all three matches

[NewyTy]

Yeah they called them all off Saturday and now it's been sunny all day today. I was keen to go watch a game but can't control the weather.

[onthebench]

Does anybody know if the washed out games will be resheduled, if so will that include 17s-19s
or 1st grade and 23s only ?

Why would they not be rescheduled?

Why would they not be rescheduled?

I hear that the next time each of the teams play each other it's for double points...

[NewyTy]

Checked the rulebook. 1st and 23's most likely be rescheduled for a Wednesday night whilst club has to pick either Thursday or Tuesday for 19's/17's.

Thats crazy, there is ample time to get the matches replayed.

I thought it was a sarcastic dig at the farce that is the NPL Yoof comp that has gone straight over your head

Check the competition rules-clause 10 states that matches postponed must be played the second week after the postponment with firsts and U23 played on the Wednesday and the home team deciding whether to play the other two teams on the Tuesday or Thursday.Check the NFF website-that has been the policy for the last few years like it or not.

[front2]

I read it the same way.

[Old Boy]

Very very True Sancho... I put that to the Secretary of a local club and he confirmed it. Due to a lack of desire by NewFM Clubs to voluntarily go and steal local junior sides and have their own 13, 15, 17's Northern put out a survey asking about expansion. What ages, how many in first year, hub or game day scenario etc.

It came back and clubs were informed it would be 17's, the clubs voted down the hub idea and voted in the interchange not subs for 17's.

It was LATER informed to the clubs the refereeing would be a concern, you may not get all you may not get any officials at times during the year and it may impact NewFm, WPL and NPL Youth. Clubs were told to send min 3 max 5 people to one of two nights to do a 2 hour course on being a linesman.

The next step where the U15's are introduced will be a huge test as then clubs will be forced to run Sat & Sun games which most clubs just don't have the volunteers to do, only other alternative is that I can see if we will start playing 1st Grade at 6pm and clubs won't be going back to sponsors for after match day drinks/dinner any more. But that's an argument for the future.

Do you know when Northern are thinking about introducing the Under 15s?
