Alvechurch manager Ian Long has told the Redditch Standard that he would like to see an extension to the Midland Premier League season which is due to end on April 30th.
His comments come after Alvechurch face having to play 21 league games and several cup games in the next 12 weeks.
Hereford FC manager Peter Beadle isn't so keen on an extension despite the Bulls being in three cup competitions.
“I think it would benefit not just us but the majority of clubs. We’ve got half a season to play – we’ve played 21 and got 21 to play – but there’s a lot of teams worse off than us. Coventry Sphinx have played only 18 games, Highgate and Stourport have played 19 and Sporting Khalsa 20.
“We’re already playing every midweek but adding an extra week will allow us to fit in another three games.
“I think it’s something the league should really look at. I know leagues have extended seasons before because of bad weather and the clubs should have a say. It is a democracy and the clubs should be able to vote. I hope common sense prevails.
“I’ve read the Hereford manager (Peter Beadle) saying it shouldn’t be extended, but they’re a massive club with a former League ground, with the ground staff and the resources. They’re still a Conference Premier club.
“They’ve still got the FA Vase as well as the league so they have got a busy run and I’m sure they wouldn’t want to win the league by default because other teams are ending the season playing four or five games a week.”
Alvechurch are set to play at Rocester tomorrow and are at Lye Town next Tuesday evening.
