This is a bit harsh really, i think east would have really shocked a few teams in the play offs, i also think east will go on to win the national cup.

In a good vein of form at the moment with a full squad we could have troubled anybody , if we get the chance that is

As for the cup well the final possibly we might get there , but then the Miners are the best under 18 team outside the SL academies , so

East have 3 games left but now will only get the chance to play one

The other 2 games have been ' decided ' as drawn games , Easts getting 1 point off each

Both games are definately winnable but now it is unlikely they will make the play offs

They have finally managed to get a full squad fit and ready to play and are quite capable of beating anybody on thier day

They have not called any matches off but are now possibly going to suffer bcause of others problems

Thats boll0cks that, its a joke. Sheepshaggers should't be allowed in the league if they cant complete their fixtures. I hope someone at your club causes a stink over it.

Well done Leigh Miners, seems East may not make the playoffs due to not being allowed to complete their fixtures. We are in the Barla National Cup semi this weekend, but for progressing in this comp, we would have nt completed our fixtures. We have been awarded two drawn games= 2 points. We could had 4 and that would have most probably sealed a playoff spot. Now we have to hope for a miracle.
Was told season had to be completed this coming weekend, but East Leeds are down for playingthis coming WED after!!!!!

Also whats more annoying is the fact that we havent cancelled one single league match at home, how is that fair.
