FC Matches
We are unfortunately currently experiencing problems very similar to the ones we saw during the aborted week 1 FC games this season.

We have now stopped the engine from processing any further games until we can determine what is happening and why.

We hope to be able to avoid having to take the same action as was taken in week 1, but certainly expect some delays to your games today. Please bear with us whilst we make these investigations and apologies for the inconvenience.

 

[MrB]

Cheers.

I would love it, love it if they had to reset the games again!

 

[Napster]

Cheers.

I would love it, love it if they had to reset the games again!

As would I.

 

[Napster]

Well we seem to have some problems with the FC games again today. Problems that are very similar to the ones we saw on the first week of the season that we had to postpone by 1 week. Some players are returning from the grave and some are trying to turn out for their old clubs. We thought we had sorted this problem, but it seems to have returned somehow. We are currently taking a toothcomb to go through the code and try and work out what is going on.

We have managed to get the matches that are not experiencing problems running again though and we hope that the engine will get through them shortly.

As for the ones that are experience the issues, we are looking at what we can do and will be getting back to you.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Mine was very late starting yesterday, so hopefully it's one of the problem games and we can have another go at them.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Mine not started again, here's hoping :)
