MALDON & Tiptree boss Terry Spillane insisted that the busy beginning to the Ryman League Division OneNorth season does not bother him.
In an attempt to prevent a backlog of fixtures towards the backend of the season, the Ryman League have decided to pack in games in August and September.
The Jammers are due to play 15 League games by the end of September, with Spillane hoping that the load will not be too much for his players.
He said: "To be honest it was never really something that particularly bothered us. We had very few games postponed last season as our ground is really good for draining and we had little problems.
"As a manager now I don't care if we play three games in the week, but obviously the players might say something different about that. They must remember that these are non-league players with other commitments."
With the horrendous winter in the 2013/14 season causing havoc on the fixture list, most non-league teams were forced to play three days a week.
For this reason, Spillane accepts the fact that the League had to act to make sure that the same outcome does not happen.
He added: "I know it has it's doubters, however, I completely understand why the League has decided to do it, as the end of last season was ridiculous to be honest.
"But there is no point whinging and moaning about it, clubs have just got to get on with it. It all swings in roundabouts and the end of season showed a true reflection of the teams so it didn't make too much difference."
