Should junior football leagues shift to summer months?

Almost all of the clubs in their league have backed the idea, after becoming frustrated by seeing games frustrated because of waterlogged or frozen pitches.

So it is something which should be looked at in this area?

The leagues in Manchester will run from March to October with a six-week break for the summer holidays, if the proposal is formally accepted.

Officials say it will give juniors the opportunity to play on better pitches with fewer games postponed.

Critics are worried it could have a negative effect on the number of children playing cricket and other traditional summer sports.

What do you think? Would summer games benefit our area’s young footballers?
