jsslatic Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Anyone else going tonight ? Are they offering odds on why it will be called off? I'm going for a terror threat from an Osama Bin Pace at about 65 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Are they offering odds on why it will be called off? I'm going for a terror threat from an Osama Bin Pace at about 65 minutes. The shortest odds in the event of Droylsden losing are for another floodlights switch off failure after 70 minutes, so no refund necessary.

Lordy Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 If it was before 70mins would they HAVE to give refunds ? Also did they ever say why the lights went out last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Check out Chesterfield striker Jamie Ward. I hope the Latics management are there too, this boy is well worth signing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floodlights is a clear favourite at 2/5 though a tiger being released onto the pitch and Dave Pace blaming a circus visiting the local area is worth a shot at 20/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 If it was before 70mins would they HAVE to give refunds ? Also did they ever say why the lights went out last week? I was under the impression that 70 minutes was the cut-off point for refunds, but that may not be the case. The link may be out of date, but gives a sliding scale % for refunds based on how long played before postponement. http://www.thefa.com/NR/rdonlyres/CBFA0947...fundPolicy1.pdf I never heard why the lights went out, but no doubt Lee Richardson will have someone watching more closely whose hand is on the switch tonight if his job is looking safe.

Matt Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 2/5 - Floodlights. Evens - Whistle. 2/1 - Fog. 5/1 - Pitch Invasion. 8/1 - Droylsden offered the light, and is taken. 10/1 - Waterlogged pitch. 16/1 - German invasion. 20/1 - Tiger. 33/1 - Mass hysteria due to second coming, just before Chrimbo n'all... 50/1 - The stadium disappears and is replaced by a massive pot of jam. 100/1 - Alien invasion.

Ackey Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 BBC: 'Matthew Tipton fouled by Danny Hall. Penalty scored by...' Nice too see the Latics/penalty link crosses over to ex players at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'official' reason was that the beer pumps in the bar weren't working, and the bloke who went to fix them accidently disconnected the cable for the floodlights instead Anyone know when the Ipswich game is by the way? Might have a trip down s'long as it doesn't clash with any of our fixtures... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 droylsdon could be kicked out of the fa cup after the scorer of their goals last night (newton) was supposed to be suspended after 5 bookings. investigation starts today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oa_exile Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I wonder if it goes against them (which sounds like it will) they will get a fine also (?) all the profit goes out of the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futchers briefs Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 They're done for. This tie has been a farce from start to finish and probably the only thing definite to come from it, is that it's hammered another huge nail in Richardsons waiting managerial coffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky_Latic Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Should just kick them both out and give Ipswich a bye. Not like either of them will get anything down there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doubt they would do anything bout gate receipts as remember FA get a share of those, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
