Dear all, take note of the following.
Dear Teams,
As we work with the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) for pitch allocations for our league games on a monthly basis, it has just come to our attention that the SSC, will be closing a big percentage of its pitches in November and December of 2009. This is in line with SSC's yearly maintenance and repair works during these months. With that our league will be affected. This is a first for D2D, as we usually experience the SSC to stagger its maintenance programme so as not to close a majority of pitches at the same time. This we feel will affect other leagues and organisers.
During this period, D2D will continue with our league games with some challenges, an example being - teams may not be playing every week. D2D is also in the midst of negotiations with private field owners to secure non-SSC fields during this time. As is usually the case, there will be not be any league games organised in the last two weeks of December due to the festive season's holidays. Looking at the positive side of the situation, we will have better pitches come January 2010, and considering the upcoming monsoon season, we may experience alot of call-offs or rain-offs due to bad weather if the league will go on as originally planned.
We understand that this may significantly affect the league schedule and your teams' commitments. We appreciate your patience, understanding and cooperation and are happy to discuss further to explain details. Fixtures will continue to be updated on our website. Kindly direct any queries on the above matter to info@d2dsports.com or contact your main D2D liaison staff.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
