Just want to add to this situation Ben has a holiday booked so we had a pee arrangement that Ben wud come down my place tomorrow and we wud play the match which I was happy to do not a problem now that was all done n dusted now pat Flynn was the only person that new this as I told pat yesterday coz wen he was leaving he said see you Monday at frames I replied u won't mate coz I am playing my game Thursday as Ben is going on holiday why then has pat gone to Mark and told him this I will never no??? Mark then has said under no circumstances will the game be played Thursday at the windmill it will be Monday at frames now Ben obviously mot able to make that! Or the other option was me to travel to frames when Ben comes bk why Shud I have to do that it's miles from me and it's on another day. I don't have days where I can just run up to frames. I think this is unfair on Ben a bit the game Shud go ahead tomorrow as planned. So I be a big man about this n say on here Ben come to my pub tomorrow play the game has planned and if u win I give u the walk over mate.

Dan,I am very sorry that your singles match has reached this impasse,mainly due to my intervention. I had previously asked Mark Halsey why the quarter-finals had to be played at Frames as the competition sponsor was the Farley. I was told that the reason was that there were four quarter-finals and the Farley could only accommodate three games. When you told me of your intention to play your game on an earlier date,I thought that this would solve the numerical problem at the Farley. I e-mailed Mark to try to have the venue changed for the three remaining matches. He rang me back to affirm the fact that the venue could not be changed under any circumstances. With this in mind, I can only assume that the result of your match would have been voided when notified because it would have been played at an "ineligible" venue. Would it not be possible for you and Ben to play your match at the Farley before the semi-final ? The most important fact in this unfortunate episode is that the match needs to be played wherever and whenever it can be !! Surely an exception can be made in these unique circumstances. We must always be aware that this is, after all, the SPORTING Summer League. I'm sure that Tony at Frames would be sympathetic to this suggestion. It is definitely worth exploring the viability. Good Luck mate.

Danny I think somehow your missing the point !!! It cannot be played at your home venue as the pub u play from doesn't sponsor the singles ko ... But the Farley does, and am sure if ben was to come off his much need break from pool that u could arrange to play this at the Farley which isn't that far to travel un like frames !!!

Pat I think since mr Saxton step down from the committee u should put yourself forward .... You'd have my vote !! The league needs a common sense voice

I have had a text from Ben about this thread so I thought I'd have a look at what was going on. Just for the record Ben has asked as to whether this match could be played before the semi's at the Thomas Farley to which I have agreed that this would be acceptable subject to Danny's agreement.

When we played our match against you Tuesday you spoke about how drainied the better half boys was you have to remember pat it's a quarter final and my slf or Ben cud put all into that 1 match to try and win it sum times takes it out if u wen u put all into a game then to come on and player a even bigger moutain n play a semi? That's really not a option for me as I said I was happy to play what we agreed but that can't happen now..... Ben has closed the case now and i am sure he will be bk nxt year and give it ago again case is closed on this now for me I have had multiple chats with Ben over the fore seen circumstances and we have put the case to bed.
