T R Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I was just about to say it would be ironic if it called off, looking at their badge design. Mind you I am a bit surprised they haven't got the pier incorporated on it as well. Good luck seagulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Talking to ref now, top penalty area a concern, standing water draining from rest of the pitch, water wasnt there before. Managers both wanted to play, ref stated safety. Ref can understand fans frustrations. Ref said he been there since 8am and it's got worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Terrible decision, if both managers and teams are happy enough to go ahead that should be it. Some of the best games (& worst games) back in the day were played in mud baths... Part of what made cup games in days gone by so unpredictable too, blood and guts etc... Suspect conditions would have favoured Weston more than Donny - bit of a match equaliser probably, but not playing today will affect Doncaster in long run having to rearrange etc then the travelling supporters feel so sorry for them, I'm sure watching a mud bath game that wouldn't suit their team would have been preferable to sitting on the prom with a Cod Lot waiting for the tide to come in... The game is getting a little too clinical nowadays, when you think of the old days playing on snow covered pitches with just the lines marked out and orange balls, its gone from sublime to ridiculous. Everyone's a loser today, specially the travelling contingent. Who's yer father referee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 No he facking can't. He still gets paid but the Donny fans have wasted a day and the cost of a 500 mile round trip. I'm not saying that it was the right decision to call it off, but I'm not sure that the lateness of it really matters in terms of the distance travelled by Donny fans that much. If this morning it looked ok, then what would be the latest time to call it off that wouldn't have been an inconvenience? A 500 mile round trip, if it was called off with fans still 100 miles away, then it would still have been a 300 mile round trip, which wouldn't have been much fun either. My guess is that he left it late because of the fans that had travelled down. If he has guidelines that he has to stick to then he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. He could, and probably should, have just delayed kick off to give the ground staff a chance to get it played, however.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I was there and as peed off as everyone else. But, it could be a brilliant decision for WSM FC,good chance that the game will now be live on tv,67k to Weston,plus more massive bar sales ( they were doing a roaring trade today) . This money ( if it happens) will set them up for the next few years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
