MAC0AFC Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Oh.. and why do people get so bothered that a games been called off at home? (Understand away game, already travelled e.t.c) I’ve seen some massively outraged people who have lost the plot over it... Get yourselves down the pub and enjoy a few more beers without the hinderance of the football game getting in the way. Its just a game f football don’t get so uptight, it’s not worth your anger and stress. Edited February 27, 2018 by MAC0AFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be suprising to some but there are quite a number who travel significant miles just to attend home games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the time it takes to make this post someone could have posted an update on the official site - and continued to update it every 20 mins? It's not really that hard, I can't see why people get upset and make a post complaining about someone complaining about someone not arsed making a post? Maybe the irony is lost on them? Preventing the frost is one thing and worthy of discussion. Being a business and not giving a shit about your customers by making a simple update to a website is amateurish at best and arguably contemptable. Please don't confuse the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the height of the stand had anything to do with removing snow. Unless they're chucking the snow over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor evil Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Comparing today's match going ahead and last week's postponement is a bit stupid though isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no comparison at all. Apart from: a) it involves weather, may as well compare it to a waterlogged pitch. it gives some people another opportunity to slag their own club off. Edited March 3, 2018 by Magic Mikey It's turned my b) into an emoji. But I'm leaving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because last week we were the only club in the football league with a postponement whereas this week clubs really have had to make an effort to get games on.
