I agree with Mick Hill how is it 4 years ago

Very fair report. Congratulations to Grimsby and good luck for the further rounds.

“The decision to cancel a Game”

It’s easy to criticise the decision to cancel a game, but before you do just take a second to think what has gone into making that decision first.

1) Is it safe for everyone and is the forecast safe?
2) Is it currently playable and what is the forecast?
3) Is there a weather warning in place now or whilst the games are on?
4) Will the pitch drain water or thaw frost in time?
5) What’s the temperature forecast now, overnight and during the game?
6) What time is KO and how far are the opposition travelling from?
7) If it’s a central venue, thousands of people will be affected, is an earlier decision better?

Sometimes the decision to cancel is made at the last minute if a belief that the game can be playable will be made, other times an early decision will be made. All decisions are made with the available information at the time and the available upto date weather forecasts. Often the decision is right, sometimes the decision can “in hindsight” be wrong due to many factors such as drainage, temperature, wind etc but always the decision is made in good faith.

Many times we’ve personally made this decision and know it’s not an exact science at times, so a little shoutout of support from teamgrassroots to those with the decision on their shoulders and who will quite often be up late and up early doing last minute checks and obsessively checking weather forecasts. We appreciate it 🙌🏻🙌🏽🙌🏿

RESPECT

Each Lincoln Invictus Training Session when you play Walking Football errors will occur and maybe you make a bad pass or mis control

You will have a little jog to get to the ball first

You will tackle from behind and endanger a fellow Walking Footballer to try and win the ball

You will make many mistakes, fouls and errors

The Referee will Respect all of the above and more

The Referee will try and make the game safe for all
Regardless of Age or Ability

The Referee will make mistakes, there are no Referee’s Assistants, no Linesmen and no VAR

Our Refs at training are volunteers who ask for nothing more than RESPECT

If you don’t understand this then you are probably
attending the wrong game and the wrong club

RESPECT

Something to think about when watching the film on Netflix Bank of Dave. Dave Fishwick and Alan Lee both went to the same school Edge End Tech School. Both of them support. Burnley FC! Today’s interesting factoid!!
