If your pitch is unavailable, speak to your opposition first & see if they can accommodate you with the fixture at their ground or seek an alternative venue suitable for housing the fixture to league standards.

Ensure no players are contacted prior to this stage being carried out.

1) If all else fails, then ring Referee & Referees Secretary, so that he can re-direct your Referee to another fixture.

2) Contact the Match Secretary & alert him that your game is postponed & give reason for cancellation.

3) Contact preferably by email – The re-arrangements co-ordinator with the information as you supplied to the Match Secretary & copy in the other Sub-committee members.

4) Any fixtures other than where you have been able to raise a side should be re-arranged with-in 14 days of the original fixture date. A further 7 days will be given to set a date before the date is set by the league.
