HarryBosch 5,172 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 People's frustrations are inevitable. But, going forward, does the club need the fans to raise funds for frost covers (sure I read we only have ones that work to a couple of degrees minus) and anything that will help front of main stand. Is this something the Trust could look into? I'd possibly contribute to something essential like that rather than a scoreboard... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BP1960 3,137 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Bury's match would have been off, but the decision was made to play because it was against Millwall Why because it was Millwall? we played a team with fans probably further to travel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
al_bro 356 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 When did the club rip up the under soil heating and who's decision was it? I don't think under soil heating is worth the cost these days. As far as yesterday goes it would have been a benefit, but on most occasions the surrounding area is deemed too dangerous, even if the pitch is playable. I remember going to Stoke once and the car park was a huge sheet of ice, and the game was on. These days that game would have been canceled before we set off.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oafc1955 1,109 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Why because it was Millwall? we played a team with fans probably further to travel. Which map of England are you looking at lol !!! And I don't think played is the is the correct word. Edited November 27, 2016 by oafc1955 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_Og 3,766 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Why because it was Millwall? we played a team with fans probably further to travel. Bit of a geography malfunction there given Peterborough is about 90 miles north of London. I assume the poster means because of the risk of trouble. I don't believe that for a moment; certainly the ref would have had huge cause for disgruntlement as would the clubs and the players if a game had been played after a pitch had been deemed unfit.

al_bro 356 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Why because it was Millwall? we played a team with fans probably further to travel. At the end of the day it was the referees decision. The ref at Bury may have deemed our pitch playable, after giving the groundsman time to sort it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yarddog73 3,037 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You'd get here on the train quicker from Millwall than Peterborough, it depends how they've travelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneSizeFitz 226 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You'd get here on the train quicker from Millwall than Peterborough, it depends how they've travelled. Doubt that - you'd have to get across London to Euston first, and then it's over two hours to Manchester from there. Peterborough - Manchester by train is about 2 hour 30 mins, so even by train it'd be much of a muchness. By car Peterborough's much quicker. ...but it's all irrelevant really, anyway.

funkychicken 2 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Why because it was Millwall? we played a team with fans probably further to travel. because the decision was made at lunchtime (too late I know) & I they didn't want the Millwall fans kicking off. This is according to Bury's security guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magister 330 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 What happened to Robinson's 5x5 patch. CEO now saying a strip of ground running pretty much the whole length of the pitch was frozen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those are the main points But as always the devil is in the detail about which the club principals cannot even agree among themselves. In their desire to deflect attention from themselves and onto others they have come up with 2 different stories. The main point is that club lost a game it was possible to save Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Mikey 1,766 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Another point is I quite enjoyed my afternoon in the warm and cosy surroundings of my home watching Rugby Union and Horse Racing, and could next season become a permanent habit unless the club shapes itself.I'd rather walk round Mossley with a nail in my boot than watch rugby union.

boundaryblue80 671 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Nah, keep it going. I'm loving the fact that something so blatantly :censored: by the club is still somehow being defended by McFluffer ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he told CEO that the pitch was frozen down side so he took it he meant whole side. Nobody :censored:ing knows but not many care because it's anot her thing to bitch at the club over.
