Somerset Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I feel the club didn't do enough to get today's game on for forgetting to use frost covers which should have been used because if they had been used the pitch wouldn't have been frozen and the game wouldn't have been off, also, it was postponed too late, it should have been postponed a lot earlier so the Peterborough fans didn't have a wasted journey. I hope the next home game will go ahead because I don't want there to be two home league games in a row postponed which would be a disgrace.

KurtAndrew Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's been 7 degrees and sunny all day in Oldham, they probably didn't put them on as they didn't think it would be an issue with the temps being well above freezing. It was just the part of the pitch under the Mainstand that was the issue the rest of it was fine, even the managers thought that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This postponement was avoidable IMO. Edited November 26, 2016 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Easy solution, knock the :censored:er down and build one that allows the sunlight onto it. I've always wondered how grounds like Valley Parade manage to get the game on as the pitch there never sees the sun in the winter months, do we not own any lighting rigs, plenty of non league teams with them now or is that something else we've been left behind on.

oafc1955 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Not much use in a part of the ground that won't see the sun! Hence why they should have concentrated on that area, they know the grass in front of the main stand is a problem in cold weather. We've had several nights of frost before now without a problem so one night of freezing conditions should not have led to a postponement, just sheer complacency in my opinion.

maddog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It hasn't frozen overnight all week and wasn't forecast to freeze Friday night. I'm not sure what people think has been missed. Or should we be putting the covers on before every game to kill the grass? There's loads to criticise the club about at the moment. This really doesn't seem one of them to me.

yarddog73 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Anything people think they can hammer the club for they will And to put some perspective on it, anything that can possibly go wrong generally will, now the question is - is it just bad luck or plain bad judgement.

BP1960 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 ALL the houses opposite built long after the club existed as my late uncle built them when he was a club director. Anyone living next to a football club must have a clue things might change and objections although obvious depends on what the changes are. As BP says a new stand would be a much smaller stand and be a positive for the houses. Cant see that happening in next 10 years and in SCs control ....I can see it closed and demolished on safety grounds sooner rather than later. Been on borrowed time for years. And back to the soul destroying 3 stands again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much infrastructure in there. Ticket office, changing rooms, boardroom, laundry, main entrance, offices.. Plus the upper section is the warmest, driest area of the ground. Would kill another few hundred off our already :censored: crowds, not even Latics are that stupid. Are we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
