To be fair, that's pretty much what they did say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 To be fair, that's pretty much what they did say Exactly - the clearing of the pitch was always aimed at the Rochdale game - let's hope that we get a thaw over New Year.

Because then they'd get accused of giving up far too easily and not putting in the effort to get the Boxing Day game on Postponed two days prior to the fixture? OUTRAGEOUS!

mattsgrandad Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Latics really are between a rock and a hard place on this one. The sad truth is that without some external (divine?) intervention, there isn't a cat in hell's chance of playing football at BP for the forseeable future. The frost penetration is likely to be so severe that only a massive thaw (temps of 5+ for at least four or five days) will remove and I haven't seen any forecasts that predict that. Our only hope would be the deployment of hot air blowers but quite simply, the Latics cannot afford that sort of financial outlay that would entail - especially as there is no guarantee of success.

JohnnyPimp Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Maybe it is time for the FL to set up an insurance fund to pay for a regiment of mobile pitch clearers, armed with hot air blowers. The persistently needy would be required to pay more into the pot based on a risk assessment. Oh, hang on, that'd be us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Pity it got called off cos it sounds like Carlisle are right wusses in the cold: It is the coldest place....not in England, we're talking the world. There is no colder place than Oldham. There is a penguin playing in their back four because it likes the conditions so much. Someone should tell him Gregan's left.

rosa Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 That's quality! Especially coming from Cumbria, wouldn't carry so much weight if it was from Swindon I seem to remember Toddy Orlygsson saying he couldn't get used to the cold in Oldham because, unlike the cold in his native Iceland, the cold in Oldham "really gets into your bones".

futchers briefs Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 What a fantastic, honest, write up about an opposition, he says it how he feels and fair credit to him. He promotes our strengths and the grounds' strengths and yet the fookin' plastic comedians amongst us haven't got the decency to credit Abbott with the bit of credit he deserves. An honest answer to a question about coming to ISZ at a very tough time of year - I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirinclassic Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Gutted. Was to have been a highlight of a 16,000 mile round-trip and an induction for the kids. (Narrow miss for them, then ;0 ) Merry Chrimblebobs, KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Gutted for you, KC. But rather more gutted for myself - have no excuse to miss the in-law's cooking and company now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
