Playing in the Combined Counties League Premier Division, which is the fifth-tier of non-league football in England, Guernsey FC have quite a month ahead of them.
With the weather buggering up a lot of their fixtures this season, the Channel Islanders will be forced to play a total of 17 games in April, which is, er, quite a lot.
And remember these guys are part-time, with jobs to do as well. I couldn’t see many of those megabucks Premier League poseurs surviving that kind of schedule, could you!?
Here’s the fixture list…

do they have to play so many matches? Is there no recourse for any sort of rescheduling? That schedule looks absurd to me.
Can the team afford that? Can the players afford that, with their regular jobs? Wow.
this is when being a goalkeeper is ‘handy’
It’s actually ridiculous, but if we can win the majority of those we can catapult ourselves to top position!
If they forced that on the likes of Lelsea or Man Shitty, the players would walk out!
