This might be better placed in the ‘unpopular opinions’ thread but I’d propose that the ‘core’ NH season be shifted forward a month to run from early November to late May. May might have long warm, sunny days but the ground is invariably more forgiving after winter than it is in gloomier, cooler October after summer.
As for the intervening summer jumps fixtures I’d propose they become evening-only from June to end-August which, while firm going concerns wouldn’t be mitigated, high temperatures would be.
