THX1138 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm playing two games in two days! Surely that can't be right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Fixture congestion, pretty common at lower leagues tbh. I was forced to play 4 matches in the space of 5 days, no surprise I attempted to grind out 0-0 borefests every chance I got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've done that as well, think it was a postponed match due to international call ups in lower league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX1138 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm getting absolutely hammered in the run-in, mainly because of fatigue from so many games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It happens all over the shop. Some leagues are more problematic than others - some of the South American ones are insane in terms of fixture congestion, for no real reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugpin Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I had that at low league but they moved the fixture the day before. My squad was a right mess and we'd lost a lot of ground in the league because of it. Just glad I had a strong start to cushion the blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferJames Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 in lower leagues this isn't uncommon to see due to fixture,dates congestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It happens all over the shop.

Yeah, I play in Colombia and frequently have four games in five days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV054 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yeah it happens now and then when you play in lower leagues. Multiple postponed games due to unplayable pitch is always the reason why the games stack up like that, for me at least. Damn you English winter.

Fond Foat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 But does it happen in real life? I thought there was a required gap. I just looked through the teams in the same league as teh OP and none of the have any games within a day of each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Brazil are having players in their league protesting the fixture congestion now as we speak. http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/south-america/179661/brazilian-footballers-cross-their-arms-and-refuse-to-play-in-common-sense-protest-over-fixture-congestion.html/comment-page-1#comment-367356 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee50_11 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have found teh same in the same league as you OP, it seems that you play 3 league games in 9 days then there's a long break then it happens again. I checked teams fixtures IRL and they are nothing like this they are normal weekend games with maybe 1 midweek if there's a cup congestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan BHTFC Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Guernsey had to play Friday, Saturday, Sunday games at the end of last season due to loads of postponements last winter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppy12 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Back in 2001 Canvey island had to play their last 12 games in 13 days after big cup runs and flooding that winter. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/mar/14/the-knowledge-most-games-played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
