Very noticeable that very few National League teams were playing in midweek this week. Why was it necessary to pile in with midweek league fixtures days after the FA Trophy games? These things are done seemingly without any consideration for the clubs themselves, yet when they react by fielding much-weakened teams they are left to look like the only bad guys on the block.
Every year has 52 weeks. 12 weeks at least of that is close season every single year. Should it be beyond the wit of man to arrange leagues and fixtures with an eye to these facts? Why have leagues with 46 games when we know they cannot help but trigger the process of congestion? Why whine about the effect on devalued cup competitions when you know very well that the amount of games scheduled exceeds the time naturally available?
