It effects teams % if you don't play them compared with if you do so how is that a fair situation and some clubs go to a lot of trouble in preparation of games.
We have Stirling this week and being a night game they will probably be too scared of the cold and the long drive! So come 4.45pm we will probably be told there will be no game again!! Same goes with Wembley, they were put into the comp at the last minute so why waste other teams time if they aren't going to have the numbers each week ??

The league have rules in place for this. If a team forfeits 3 times in a season, they are removed from the competition for the remainder of the year and are not permitted to enter that team the next season.

Swans_ old man27 did you play on the weekend forrestdale look to be very strong

Word has it that Wembley has withdrawn from the Comp.... and after playing Stirling at home and them only managing to get 15 blokes for a home game.... can't see them making the trip to Warnbro this week..... which will be their 3rd forfeit so we all may be having a few more byes than what we want ...... Unfortunately !

The game at Forrestdale was a hard fought game. Forry were just stronger on the day. The weather played a big part too. Well done to Forrestdale.

Any predictions for the weekend?

Bit hard to do the predictions when the team sheets are yet to be submitted. Nevertheless I think I'll be tipping the High Wycombe Wanderers this week.

Yeh it was a hard fought out game all night.
Lucky for us we had the legs in the end. I was playing on some pretty tall timber in our backline in the last quarter and was a bit worried.
Just a suggestion if you guys are going to play night games make sure the lights work in the changerooms. Other than that great hosts (except the weather you put on )

Big question this week, will Stirling field a team against Warnbro?? If not there's goes another club after there 3rd forfeit!! Down to 8 teams maybe, top 4 instead of 5 ???

Can now answer my own question after being informed that Stirling have forfeited this weekends game already, obviously short of numbers and being a shit club! So now with this weeks forfeit, the general bye, forfeit with Wembley that means NO game for our thirds players for 3 weeks!!!
What a joke of a comp!!

Alright, let's see what we've got going on here shall we:

Noranda vs Wembley - I've been informed that Wembley have pulled out of the E2 Particular so the Lightning Park gentlemen can enjoy a Friday night out without having to worry about playing hungover in the rain on Saturday. Take it from my recent experience, this is a big win for you.

CWP vs Forrestdale - With one hand on the cup already Forrestdale will pick up another win here. Can anyone stop this juggernaut? They're trying to play down the hype, but I'm sure they've already started blowing up balloons for the big party.

Kingsway vs Collegians - Isn't this a bumper clash. This will show if there is a big gap between the top two and the rest of us plebs. Kingsway will drive the mustard to it, but I feel the Collegians will have their own condiments and get the win.

High Wycombe vs Bulldogs - The lippy Bulldogs have come crashing down with two big losses in a row. Probably back us to get a win this week considering High Wycombe didn't register a point last week. How many points will we win by? Just let me get my megaphone, is it India?

Warnbro vs Stirling - I am guessing a 90-1 point win to the Swans. Mr Old Man Swans, those 3 weeks off sound ideal! Just imagine how many DIY projects could have been completed around the home or hours logged enjoying some family time. You're welcome.

All the best and my many warmest and most kind regards.
