Reminds me of playing local league football years ago. If we’d had a bad winter after the clocks went forward it was Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, to catch up, sometimes two games in two days midweek if you were still in the cups. 5.45pm kick offs, straight from work. How the f*ck did we do it? Jesus, forgot Sunday League as well, can remember playing Sunday League games on a Wednesday() to catch up. Usually a couple of pints after each game as well, I was like the lodger in my house
You’re right, it was a pleasure to play on, say, Guest Keen’s or The Civil Service where there was some semblance of ground maintenance, council pitches were a twisted ankle waiting to happen, rutted with stud marks from previous games. Welsh League wasn’t much better either, some right dodgy pitches.
