Apparently, we were playing them on Tuesday. First I’d heard of it. Thought it was Buxton. Anyway, Frickley reckon we’ve called it off due to a lack of players. According to a text I’ve had, from someone linking to twitter. That I don’t use. Hence no link.
In a nutshell we were hosting a XI which would have been mainly 21s and fringe players but due to a few injuries picked up over the past two friendlies they can’t accommodate both us and Buxton, is what it is they’ve offered to re arrange but we can’t fit them in. these things happen and it’s always the risk when playing a pro club that it can get pulled late on. no issues at our end.
Saw something yesterday from Frickley stating if Buxton was too far then they were hosting an 11 from Barnsley and w e would be welcome. I hadnt seen anything from the club prior to that.
We can't be playing a football giant like Frickley without at least a squad of 50 fully fit players they'd hammer us.
Think the issue is the 18s are playing Dearne we were hosting a mixed side Buxton first team, that was my understanding anyway it’s a shame the club don’t advertise the more local XI/18s games to assist with a few through the gate but that’s out of our control. we’ll be fine though heading the owls are bringing 52000 Friday when we play them.
That confused me until I realised you were talking from a Frickley perspective! That’s a shame. There does seem a bizarre amount of kids involved in BFC’s early friendlies.
Apologies, Chairman up there hence why I push the games when I can. As a Reds fan too I was looking forward to this one and building some links with the club but we’ll try again next year.
I notice that we have the U21’s at Athersley Rec on the 22nd July, same night as the first team travel to York. Hopefully we will have enough players to fulfil both fixtures that evening.
Probably find they’ll add some 18s into that match day squad, probably now got enough to cover three games like they had this coming Tuesday
