Resting players

[NLG]

Conner G had his worst game this season yesterday, hopefully a weeks rest will help him and others. Mayor was carrying an injury, Broom and Cam need rest. Interesting to see how we will organise with Houghton's enforced rest.

Of course all teams had the same schedule, I was merely confirming what BG recollected.
We played just as many competitive games then too unless you are now including pizza cup games which are for the youngsters and fringe players predominantly, a bit like the old Football Combination fixtures.
It is very different now though with players running vast distances and no let up in the play with the back pass for the keeper to pick up no longer allowed meaning it is 90 minutes non stop.

Funnily enough I don't think all teams did have same schedule. If I'm correct we were home Good Friday and Easter Saturday! The team playing us on Saturday had to travel on Friday so didn't play. How unfair was that? Still think we didn't lose.

We did indeed and it was the norm for all teams to play Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday until fairly recently.

Fairly recently? Been watchin Argyle for nigh on 25 years and I don't remember 3 games over an easter weekend.
