Red-Robbo Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 TBF to Crawley, even more rain has fallen on West Sussex than it has in the West Country. The figure I've read for there is 250% of the normal winter rainfall level and at that saturation you won't need to be near a river, groundwater will flood you. Aquifers will soak sports pitches regardless on whether covers are on. It is a situation unique in 250 years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted February 18, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's not just their home games though. So far in 2014 we have played 9 league games, they have played 2. The missing 7 can't all have been at their place? We've been lucky that none of our away games have been affected, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sure they'd do all they could to avoid that scenario but time is running out for them. Could they play elsewhere? They must be getting nervous now. If this happens would it mean one less relegated team from the division? It would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If they have to play 3 times a week for the rest if the season, fine by me. They'll go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thing is they are playing a lot of the teams below us. If anything we could have done with them winning a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 All good news for us, surely nailed on for the drop. You can't play 2-3 times a week with their squad and pick up many points surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If they have to play 3 times a week for the rest if the season, fine by me. They'll go down. Think we are clutching at straws here. All for points instead of games in hand, but not at an exchange rate of 7 games to one point! They will be knackered by the end, but should be fresher than most for a while, and a lot of their games left are home ones. I look at more interest at Sheff Utd who whilst they do have games in hand are stil playing tough games in the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of their 25 league games played so far 13 have been at home and only 12 away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It would. Think in the circumstances this would be very unlikely, but if it did happen, think I am right in saying all their results are also scratched, which would cost us three points. The unable to fulfill your fixtures one is usually if they go bust or whatever and in essense seize to exist. They may well be forced to play elsewhere, but will find some way of muddling through. Hopefully by the last game they are safely up or down, and completely knackered. Other results ok tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - had just assumed most of their cancelled ones were at home. It must be a bit scary to be looking at March fast approaching and still have pretty much half your league season still to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I BELIEVE Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Absolute shambles. What makes me even more angry is that they are complaining they do not have the squad to play 3 games a week, this just 3 weeks after the club shut down the youth academy (not because of finances but because of a lack of academy garduates progressing into the first team). Makes my blood boil, hope they are relegated more than any other club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If the league starts pushing other teams to play them on Mondays and Thursdays there will be some unhappy teams/fans about. At least our match there cannot be moved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne allisons tongues Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If they've spent all there money on there squad instead of there pitch,then that's not fair on other teams who make sure they have a suitable playing surface. Think league should say or bring in rules about playing surfaces. Guess playing rovers in that abandoned match didn't help for that totally wrecked the pitch that evening.

CotswoldRed Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 So, they've barely played on it for weeks and now they expect to play on it on a frequent basis to catch up? No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 So, they've barely played on it for weeks and now they expect to play on it on a frequent basis to catch up? No chance. That's my thinking too; not only will it need to get up to playing condition, but maintain that with game after game after game on it. Never happening, especially if the weather doesn't lift completely in the next month (which it likely won't). Think the league must (surely) be thinking about what to do, as they'll face a scheduling crisis very soon unless something is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
