IMPORTANT NOTE - Council Owned Pitches
Published April 15th
Newcastle City Council have advised that they intend to re-seed / sand ALL council owned pitches from Monday 12th May. Therefore any pitches under their control will NOT be available after Sunday 11th May. Please make sure those clubs who may be affected take this account as there will be no movement from the council on this matter!
This is completely out of the control of the NABC League and we have no influence over this decision, therefore we will not enter into any communications about this matter.
Remaining Fixtures for May:
We would advise all managers to check the NABC News Forum for updates on the remaining fixtures

Fixture Arrangements
2007 / 2008 NABC League rule 5. Fixtures (section A)
(i) The fixture list is official notice of the match to both clubs. Home Team Secretaries must confirm the match
with their opponents by the Tuesday before the date of the game, also confirming venue and colours.
(ii) When two teams have still to play each other twice, and the pitch of the home team is not available for any
reason, the match MUST be reversed to the ground of their opponents even at short notice. A decision to
reverse the fixture on the day of the match must be made by mutual consent.(Download the 2007/2008 League rules PDF)
Following on from the special league meeting for club secretaries we also remind ALL MANAGERS that should you fail to confirm the fixture in accordance with Rule 5 A (i) above you may face a league fine.
