League Saturdays 2007/08
Easter Saturday is early in 2008 - it falls on Saturday 22nd March.
Consequently the League Committee has decided that as for the 2004/05 season 12 matches will be played
before the mid season break and 10 matches in the spring. The matches this season thus start
on 29th September and run to 15th December 2007 - then continue on 12th January thru to 15th March 2008.
In line with previous seasons the Committee will continue the concession to the university
sides that fixtures falling within their vacations will be rearranged. Full details available here.
Additionally
Fixtures in the 3rd XI East Mids 2 and Central North West 2 and South West 2 (with just 10 teams each) will also have games rescheduled from 15th December back to 1st December to give a natural break for Christmas.

New for 2007/08     MRHA Fixtures Bureau.
The MRHA Fixtures bureau is intended to help clubs find opposition to fill those blank dates in the fixture calendar.
Match/Fixture Secretaries can Login to the MRHA system (using their Administration Logon details) follow the Fixtures Bureau on the Details drop-down menu - and register that they are looking for a fixture, for one of their sides, on a particular date. By leaving specific contact details officials from other clubs can then contact them with a view to arranging a formal fixture.
All we ask of Club Administrators is that they use the same Login to DELETE their entry when contact has been made and firm arrangemets are in place - thereby saving everyone's time.
And if you are a Club Administrator that has forgotten your Login details - post us a note on the Contact page ...

Transfers 2007/08
All clubs are reminded that:

    A player may not play in a League match without written confirmation from the 
    League Secretary that the circumstances of his transfer have been approved if 
    he has at any time during the previous twelve months played in a Midland League 
    game for another club or has played in a EHL game for a Midlands club.
