Thackley manager Chris Reape
Thackley will have to replay their abandoned Toolstation NCEL Premier Division clash at Garforth Town – a decision that Chris Reape has slammed.
Thackley were winning 4-0 with 15 minutes to go when referee Pete Walker called a halt to proceedings because of fog last month.
The match will be replayed in mid-January.
“I think it is a disgrace,” Reape told Non League Yorkshire.
“I cannot see where they get the decision from? Now the game should have been finished because the referee could see both ends. He just couldn’t see the corner flags.
“We were comfortable and 4-0 up and it could have been more. They never looked like scoring.
“Some of the Garforth players tried to get the game off and he (the referee) fell for it.
“The match was dead and buried so I now cannot see why we have been made go back and replay it?
“We have the expense of going back there as well. Tom Dugdale has lost his hat-trick, but speak to our left-back Jerry White because he’s fuming.
“He got booked, but even if the game is abandoned, cautions still stand so he has to pay the fine. Personally I think that’s wrong.”
If the score-line had been close, Reape would have accepted that his side would have to go back to Garforth.
He added: “Then that’s the different game because you can score one goal in the 15 minutes.
“I’d happily replay the game if it was 1-0, but at 4-0, you ask anyone in football and they can’t believe we have to go back there.”
