Ritchierich Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 on reflection, perhaps we "accidentally" left the frost covers off.....bigger/better squad available in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Putting aside silly comments and the odd bit of mischievous banter to brighten a cold January day.......it does seem extraordinary that, with frost covers available to us it wasn't possible to protect the pitch and ensure it was playable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick26 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) I'll wait and see what RW says as he was on the pitch before the ref who I think wore trainers for the inspection! Looked ok from a distance but maybe some parts still frozen. The covers were on under the main stand earlier which is usually the worst part of the pitch.

sjk2008 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Lack of players available to us. Leicester having to fit in an FA Cup replay midweek, meaning they may play younger players than usual. I'd say we have been quite clever (logical) personally...

Well, they were at 4.30pm yesterday and then again at 5am this morning. Far be it from me to say the club haven't made too much effort to get the game on due to lack of players, but I am absolutely amazed that it has been called off...
