DON'T GO TO BELLE VUE AT 7.30!
THIS is the last appeal to Rhyl supporters not to turn up at Belle Vue at 7.30pm tonight!
The game against TNS took place this afternoon at 2.30 and sadly the Lilywhites lost 2-1.
Unfortunately the local weekly papers stated today's match was on at 7.30pm. It was our mistake and boy do we know about it!
People who never normally say a word to me were only too happy to point out the error at today's game.
One individual, who I've never given the time of day, was even heard to say the papers should give Rhyl FC financial compensation for affecting the crowd.
What a load of cack! Since the weekly papers appeared, several media have carried the correct kick-off time, including this blog, the club's other two websites, the Welsh Premier website and the Daily Post stated TWICE today that the kick-off was 2.30pm.
One herbert even tried to tell me that the Post had stated the wrong kick-off time.
Poppycock! In both the match preview and the fixtures 2.30pm was clearly stated.
If you are THAT much of a Rhyl fan you'd have known the game was on at 2.30pm.
Of course an error was made, and we apologise, but you can only say sorry so many times.
Well, one good thing will come of this. I'll certainly be more meticulous in future when announcing kick-off times, a rare mistake it was, but a mistake all the same.
As I speak, I am already booking my first Timekeeping night class at Llandrillo College.

Dave; nobody would blame you at all for a one off wrong kick off time; what you do for the club is tremendous.
I only rang you so as you could put the record straight in Friday's Daily Post. Sorry it was late evening when I rang, I didn't realise the time, so maybe I need to check on my times as well! 587 people there today with great support, so the crowd was one of the best anyway.
I had no problem with you ringing me, it's a good job you did as I don't ever see the Visitor or Journal these days so wouldn't have known the need to correct the kick-off time in the Daily Post and on the internet.
The thing I don't find so pleasant is people who have so little going on in their lives they constantly feel the need to trawl for mistakes and then take great pleasure in telling people about them, one area of the Rhyl ground is particularly notorious for this. Of course these people have never made one mistake in life themselves and forget there are others who spend many painstaking hours doing their best for Rhyl Football Club.
Heck of a job there, it absloutely helps me out.
