Club Statement On postponement Of The Whitby Game

Despite a certain amount of rumour & conjecture on social media, here is a factual timeline of events leading up to the postponement of the match at Whitby Town on Tuesday 11th October.

Following news coming to light on Saturday morning of the Southern League allowing 3 Clubs to postpone their respective midweek fixtures ahead of the FA Cup 4th Qualifying round, the Football management team asked if this was possible in our circumstances in order to allow for additional player preparation and so match that of Buxton who have no midweek game?

  • Sat 8th Oct 11.38am – As there is nothing prescriptive in the NPL rules, an e-mail enquiry was issued to the NPL Secretary & Chair as to whether the NPL Board could grant any dispensation in this instance.
  • Sat 8th Oct 9.32pm – As both respective Clubs exited the FA Trophy, an e-mail enquiry made to Whitby Town to see if they were agreeable to change the Tuesday 11th fixture to the now vacant date for the next Trophy round of Saturday 29th Oct, citing a potentially larger attendance and offering to kick off at 2pm if that helped on lighting costs..
  • Sun 9th Oct 9.20am – Text from Whitby Secretary which stated they would send an e-mail to confirm, but looked like they didn’t want to change from Tuesday – Hyde Uniteds view is that is entirely Whitby Town’s prerogative.
  • Sun 9th Oct 1.26pm – As no reply was received, an e-mail reminder was issued to the NPL Sec & Chair and also stated we had approached Whitby Town, but they were not inclined to agree to the request. The NPL Chair said to expect a reply from the Secretary on Monday morning (10th).
  • Sun 9th Oct 8.17pm – Email from Whitby Match Secretary formally stating they had considered our reasons and offer but wished to proceed with the fixture.
  • Sun 9th Oct 9.23pm – Email from NPL Sec stating NPL agreed to postpone the fixture and would advise Whitby and other parties – this email was picked up Monday morning (10th) by which time news was out via other sources!

The Club will be writing further to the NPL on this matter, but we made the enquiry in good faith and as per our Managers request, as we weren’t certain this could be allowable.

Our only other experience of this type of situation was when the NPL agreed to postpone the fixture prior to our FA Cup 1st Round tie v MK Dons in 2017, which was a high profile game on TV of course.

A Message From The Board

Hyde United would like to remind our younger supporters that it is imperative that during a first team game no one encroaches onto the pitch. This includes at the final whistle whilst any players are on the pitch, be it our own players showing their appreciation to the supporters or the visiting team, who maybe using the pitch to warm down after the game.

There are several reasons no one should go onto the pitch whilst players and officials are still on it, including rules laid down by The FA “It is illegal to enter the pitch area in any stadium and these actions are putting players, fans and people who run the game at great risk.” A person entering the field of play could themselves become injured and could lead to an FA investigation and ultimately the football club being fined and/or sanctioned.

A number of young supporters going onto the pitch at the final whistle could be viewed as a pitch invasion and again could lead to an investigation by The FA, which could also lead to the football club being fined and/or sanctioned.

We have no problems with our younger supporters, many of whom are members of our junior teams, having a kick about on the pitch after a game, but this must only be done once all players and officials have left the pitch. After all, we are a community club with over 400 junior members of our junior teams, and don’t want to stop anyone playing football.

Unfortunately, even though announcements are made during a game for to tell everyone not to enter the field of play until all players and officials have left the pitch, it has become evident that this alone is not preventing it from happening. So, we have now had to go to the expense of putting up signage all around the perimeter fencing to remind people. These signs also will have the warning that anyone identified not abiding to the rules “risks being banned from the ground indefinitely”. Which would include not only first team games, but any games, training, or events at the ground. This might sound harsh, but polite reminders do not seem to have worked, and we must ensure the safety of everyone and protect the football club.

The football club has a large number of CCTV cameras around the ground and also the camera used to film our games sees 180 degrees and can see the entire pitch, so we will be able to identify those that enter the field of play when players and officials are still on it.
