Sutekh Just wondering if it's normal this time of year for the Hellenic League to be more or less nothing but various league cup games every weekend (seems to be several different ones for some reason as well rather than just one for the leagues).
And even when you do get a Saturday with league fixtures it seems half the clubs aren't playing anywhere so really don't get the Hellenic fixtures "computer" - or is it just a couple of people deciding the league fixtures by drawing random team names out of a hat a few weeks before each game until they get everyone to have played everyone else?
...I think (quite sensibly) they seem to have set aside Jan/Feb to clear up the Challenge/Floodlit/Supplementary ( a.k.a. Losers) Cup & all the various County Level cups round here. Doubtless over the past few years they've got fed up with re-scheduling numerous League games very late in the season - somewhere like Bracknell (in the past) Woodley/Holyport or Letcombe (just some examples of grounds that drain badly) might end up with half-a-doz league games or more to cram in during April - there always seems to be a 'cliff-edge' date enforced far too early in May every year to get the fixtures finished.
The CCL and Wessex have suffered similarly over the years - often the same clubs that struggle to complete their fixtures - end up dropping out of Cup competitions etc.
Warlingham (nr Croydon) for example have endured so many issues with a number of their grounds, that I believe earlier this year they packed up altogether (had already dropped into the Surrey leagues) - having failed to come up with an adequate drainage solution at any of their locations used - they had about four.
Ironically the one league game scheduled in the Hellenic tonight [Bracknell at Ardley] is OFF .... due to a Floodlight problem !
... the Cup game at Scours (Highmoor v Woodcote SR) is OFF too by the way..... presumably that's waterlogged.
and generally rambled around as a lengthy discourse, relating to the Midlands getting a STEP03 league - or maybe at STEP02 - which might make more sense (?) - will go back and try and fathom it out and provide a summary where possible.
... so my planned leisurely trundle to a NL game, a bit further away than usual for midweek, has been scuppered. I now need to drop middle-one off around 18:45 ish - might still ponder a lunatic dash down to Dorking Wanderers v Chipstead but fully expect traffic through Bracknell-Bagshot and up M3 this evening, to be royally kf£(ked - 'Smart' Motorway? - 
- so might just bury myself into the sofa, hit the few remaining Xmas present Beers and fall asleep in front of Bayern vs Arse
