Not pissed off with you about anything. Not sure why you removed your original post, but no problem here.

The relevance as to why the Semi wasn't played at the Farley is simple. We were advised by Mark Halsey that we had until the 24th to play the match so we were going to play it on Monday 22nd. Then the Final was brought forward to the 17th, so Stacey informed me the only possible evening she could do it before then were Wednesday 10th, so I agreed.

The 10th was the evening of the KO Cup final at the aforementioned venue, therefore we were unable to play it there then. So we had 2 choices.

1) Play it at another venue (which meant it wasn't played at the Farley)

or 2) I claimed the match (which meant it wasn't played at the Farley).


I would be more than grateful to hear from anyone how this was EVER going to be played at the current sponsors venue of choice, considering the options we had. Which is why the replay is such a ridiculous idea.

But hey - I'll always do what the C&DPL Committee tell me to do - after all, I don't run Croydon Pool and I doubt I ever will . . . :)
