petehinton Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Imagine your facilities still being so bad as a ‘promotion chasing’ side in league one, you’re still postponing games the day before. Dear oh dear oh dear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Don't get them postponing the game, it's been a bit cold and a bit damp but conditions have been worse this year than they have been in the last 24/48 hours. What happened to the fantastic playing surface and the championship ready sprinkler system? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they must have some injuries, though when they cheated to avoid Stockport that time it was because their opponents were on a 10 match unbeaten (winning?) run (games took place at Eastville park on the same day!) & when they called their league game off before the second leg of the JPT with us (when Lambert scored) it was clearly so they had a free weekend whilst we played up at Oldham. Remember being due to play them around ‘84 at Eastville, their goalie was injured so they said their pitch was “waterlogged”, I lived in St. George at the time & it hadn’t rained in 2 days. It’s what they do. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what they do. New signings to bed in. Cancelled because standing water that was "left on the pitch" had frozen. How can the "best pitch in the football league" be in that state? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I have to say I'm surprised that a club can just call a game off with a feeble excuse. I thought the ref had to make that call to ensure they are not taking the piss and don't want to face a good team because they don't fancy it, or have injuries.

It was a ref who called it off......................who has no control over the pitch being left in an unplayable position with frozen standing water all over it somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 There's a fiddle going on here. Even thirty plus years ago we've covered our surface to ensure the game went ahead. Perhaps they'd be better off watching the local weather forecast on TV rather than Babestation. Absolute tossers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible to call it off now, been 8 or 9degC this afternoon so it's not like it could have been frozen solid? Any remaining frost could have been locally thawed surely and then covered over night. Tinpot doesn't do this justice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how things stick in your head, Ron Green was the injured goalie in ‘84 or so. FTG indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daored Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Playing Wycombe, could call it off at 10 in the morning tomorrow and not impact either the away fans or team. Would understand if playing a northern team , could give benefit of doubt but not a club c.100 mile away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Any other fans of a club would be pissed right off it’s been cancelled, especially 24 hrs before. But not these mutant pricks.

Isn't there a ruling about a home team paying expenses for the away side? Certainly wouldn want to be paying out twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
