Booking Abuse!

The sites that have appeared could be where teh club has released some grass pitches as the weather has improved, or another site has opened after the winter, not attributed to cancellations especially as the weather is supposed to get warmer this weekend.

Your clutching at straws JVB.

It has been confirmed in the past by the club that a number of pitches may be held back and released into the system.  I've seen it happen myself on a bank holiday weekend when the weather forecast was good and grass pitches were going to be usable.  This was at Wirral CP which gets very boggy in wet weather.

We will never get a clear picture as the information we need to get it is held by the CC and cannot be determined by the data available.  We can only make assumptions which may or may not be accurate

There doesn't seem to be any bookable grass pitches available on the sites I have checked. I don't think any have been released yet?

I doubt that they have peedee.  I was just using an example of one occasion when there was a sudden boost in available pitches. 

I have no clue how many pitches get held back and released later but the Club did confirm that it happened.  It wasn't many per site as I recall

Lots of sites opened up a few days ago, is this reason that more pitches have appeared?

No, these site have been bookable for some time and included in the late availablity I have been monitoring for this weekend 11/13 March. e.g. Stover.which incidently is now all hardstanding.

Jayess, I haven't notice any significant jumps in availablity on the 6 days betwen the 27th March and 8th of March I have so far monitored. The trend until early this morning had been a reducing availability. I don't believe the Club suddenly released a big block on deadline day, I am firmly of the believe these were last minute cancellations and if you inlcude the figures for Friday and Sunday it is very much worse and the total cancellation between the 6th and this morning for this weekend was 486 nights. That said there does seem to be some late booking activity and it could well be by Friday these might all be snapped up?

That's the pattern I've noticed in the past as well.  I have seen jumps in availability on some sites during the summer which I have always put down to grass pitches being able to be used but not at this time of year.

It very likely is late cancellations but if they  get rebooked then the Club aren't going to see that it's a problem

No my figures are based on the Clubs published availabilty figures not some nebulous figure in the ether.
