I rang the County FA to advise of the events of Friday night and was greeted by a non-plussed AC. His response to the home team's predicament of not having my correct phone number was, "Why didn't they phone here?" Quite pragmatic and of course entirely correct. He was surprised that the game was being re-aranged so quickly and for a weekday (evening) kick off.
He then rang back later to confirm the game was definitely on Wednesday February 20. This clashes with a District FA Council meeting but the game comes first, so I will have to make my apologies.
The Liaison Officer for Leeds & District FA left me a voicemail while I was training at the gym tonight. The game is a 7:45 kick off at the home of Yorkshire Amateurs, Bracken Edge, Leeds. I've texted my two Assistants to let them know and I'll be in touch once we have directions. On checking the North East Counties League website I found that the ground is not far from where I lived and worked in Harehills for over 6 years back in the 1980s!!!
