Actually, I've just seen pictures of it - deeply flooded, several feet under

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
Yes, the "direct" trains are all cancelled, so the alternative is via Leeds; though that's an issue as some Leeds to Kings Cross trains are fully bookedMartinCarpenter wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 5:26 pmI think they might be being optimistic about those Manchester to Doncaster services. The big thing is that Sheffield to Doncaster is out, with no estimate for a time to reopen. So it might be back tomorrow, maybe not.
(That's the main Manchester service)
Leeds/York to Doncaster have got some services running but that makes the trip from Manchester a real haul. At least, as per Google maps, the main roads through Doncaster to/from the station are OK.
Looks like the main roads near Doncaster are ok, but lots of issues especially in Derbyshire

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
I think that’s all the LNER trains - preplanned engineering works. The Leeds train is an hourly, 45 minute service so really is a silly journey and not precisely reliable.
Pick ups from Sheffield station or something perhaps, but getting back on Sunday has to be a real worry. The river isn’t due to drop until quite late today.

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
Well it all worked well in the end
Bradford A to go up if they keep that strength of team, you presume, no idea who'll go with them. Shropshire?
J'Adoube appear to be more of an effort to combine teams for numbers than to field strong ones.

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
I'd have thought it would be between the 6 teams on 100%, with Bradford A, Shrops 1 & Manticores 2 more likely than 3Cs 2, J'Adoube 1 and SoA B
It will be clearer after weekend 2 at Bolton, though, as one side of the Pennines can make some teams stronger and others weaker
We look forward to seeing the pairings

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
So do I!!
I will look at this at the end of the week and let the teams know.
Like you I would like to wait until after weekend 2 before finalising the pairings but that, because of the complications, might make things extremely difficult.

Shropshire 2 will be unable to field a team in rds3 and 4.
An altered set of fixtures will appear this evening or tomorrow morning. (I'm a bit busy at Hastings.)

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
Triangular matches at Hastings - now there's an idea.
Just about to put the new fixtures up now.
Minimum disruption attempted (including future rounds).

Re: Div 3 North 2019-20
After weekend 2, we have:
8 points - Shrops 1, MM2, 3Cs 2
6 points - SoA B, Bradford A, J'adoube 1
Looks like the 2 promoted teams will come from those 6
