You have to feel sorry for Deal. They were told yesterday the game was on, and presumably this morning before they set out on the long journey. Everyone knew what the weather forecast was, which turned out to be accurate. I hope the Vase prize money covers their expenses for the last two weekends. Bad luck on Corsham too.

Travel has to be covered by home team except hotel costs until it goes National at qf stage when hotel costs can be included. Deal had a hotel stay last week but that was at their cost. They didn’t stay overnight last night.
Not sure how many Deal fans would’ve travelled but they will be right out of pocket.

It does make you wonder about the sense of this stage of comp being in depths of winter. Play early rounds in August /Sept. The waiti till March would seem to make more sense.

Corsham Town FC, Club Statement - Deal Town

Our club would have done well to issue such a statement after the late call on the Weymough game
