mcfluff1985 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Without any malice, or attempt at harassment, I'm awaiting BP sharing a picture of some burning oil drums on the pitch telling us it didn't happen in the good old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I can't believe that a game in deep January at Boundary Park has been called off due to a frozen pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Oh great. New non league TV stream comes on board at $160 and I will end up watching Scunthorpe's games as all of our Saturday games will be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said last week my front lawn wasn't playable but the game went ahead. My lawn's still frozen but I haven't had the covers on. It's clear and cold today and that's the forecast for tomorrow - I can't see it being on but I was wrong last week too..... Told you yesterday - what else can I say - anyone want the scores for United Or city - or lottery numbers for tonight?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootshallbloke Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The team travelled up yesterday and stayed overnight and Bolton's ground was earmarked for training. So that will be another few quid we haven't got down the drain! Lots of the lads were already on the road and travelling and some had already made Manchester on the train, but it is what it is, and it's not the first time it's happened to us, nor you guys I expect. What is disappointing is that we will bring a far lesser amount of fans to the game on a Tuesday night, but there you go. And another poxy Saturday afternoon with nothing to do.

LaticsLegend Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The whinging and comments on twitter are painful. Some fans really will have a pop about anything won't they? About 10 EFL games called off for the same reason today and a few more in the Vanarama. It's hardly surprising a game being called off for a frozen pitch Ian January at one of the coldest/highest grounds in the country. Chance that it may have been fit for 3pm, but assume the ref had to call it early rather than give it time to allow away fans to turn around/stay at home. We could really do with shaking off this negative, sniping mindset at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postpone it and revenue drops, postpone it late and revenue drops and more expense and inconvenience incurred. But if it was called off yesterday and it turned out bright today there would be people moaning. Doesn't seem unreasonable to have scheduled a 9am inspection though. At least with today's better connectivity once the decision is announced people find out. Back in the day I drove 3 hours from university to Blackburn for our game only to find a handwritten note in the ticket office window saying 'Game Off'. Nothing on national radio or local radio.

We could really do with shaking off this negative, sniping mindset at this club. The fact that it’s called off is no surprise. The issue is that there must have been a doubt yesterday by no mention of it from the club, no precautionary pitch inspection announced until they woke up this morning . Anyway, it is what it is, but I’ll be pissed off if I’m halfway to Aldershot next week and the same thing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are suggesting it's down to incompetence or an even weirder suggestion that the manager didn't want it on. Also understand they inspected it yesterday and felt there was a chance they could get it on and informed Southend of this before they left. Colder temps and more frost than was forecast overnight and a ref has called it unplayable this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's called off, Latics seem to be spending more time not playing than playing, at the moment and it condenses the season, which could be problematic if injuries and suspensions kick-in.
