BP1960 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Farcical, looks like no one has bothered with even doing any pitch forking and its now sunny and not raining. Typical also fans are the last to be taken into consideration, especially those travelling from Sutton. The club has gone to pot and amateurish in all respects.

kowenicki Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not that surprised. Not sure why the club are getting grief on twatter for this though. The ref makes the call. He’s gone a bit early in my opinion. 17 minutes ago, BP1960 said: Farcical, looks like no one has bothered with even doing any pitch forking and its now sunny and not raining.

There are many things to have a go at the club for… However… what a load of old bollocks you have just typed. The pitch will be beyond a bit of forking. It’s utterly saturated. In any event… it’s the ref call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know, have you seen the pitch, and the fact there's been no rain since noon and none forecast gives 3 hours attention and time to drain. Isn't it supposed to be a pitch that drains well? I saw 1960s/70s matches on snow and mud heaps. The game has gone soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hopefully it will be a positive for us, more time for signings, rest players and team around us lose and the games in hand disappear. It is what it is, we Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s quite entitled to point out that the Sutton fans have been stuffed and that matches were played on heavy pitches in the past. Hugely embarrassing if Curzon Ashton can get a game on and we can’t.

Why? Different pitch, different place. Yes games took place on heavy pitches in the past (particularly 40 to 50 years ago) and this ref didn’t let the game go ahead. Nothing to do with the club. Incidentally. Colchester v Rochdale called off at 2.30 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps.....but criticising groundstaff and accusing them of inactivity without knowing any facts is as well. The pitches near me have been waterlogged all week so no real surprise it was called off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It’s fair to question why preventative measures weren’t put in place - do we still have covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe no coincidence the last very good groundsman left the club. Perhaps he's gone to Curzon Ashton who managed to get their match on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
