Southern Belle

I hate to keep carping on about the Southern League - but I hope somebody takes notice.
I don't think the Southern League have won many friends over the way they've compiled their fixture list this season.
Too many clubs have suffered blank Saturday's and lost valuable income as a result.
It's an issue that seriously needs to be addressed at the end of season AGM.
However the Southern League can redeem themselves with the end of season play-offs.
Play the matches on Saturday - even if it means extending the season by a week. I'm sure the clubs concerned won't mind.
Supposing Aylesbury United get drawn away, to say Stourbridge on a Tuesday night. How many supporters from Aylesbury would be able to make the trip?
Saturday offers much more opportunity.
Don't rush through the play-offs as before. They should be a showpiece and the more people who can attend, the better!
