philwhite Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 1 hour ago, yarddog73 said: I was told by a pretty high up club official that the game was postponed because one Boreham Wood player refused to play. Now call me old fashioned but surely the decision is the referee's and possibly the referee's in consultation with the managers. How can one player have an influence over that given the significant financial loss we will now have to absorb. I had a feeling one or two of their players wouldn't fancy that today, fucking tin pot fannies. I hope it's pissing down and raining in off Oldham Edge sideways for the rearranged fixture. There’s a clip on twitter of Alex Reid feeling the pitch and saying if you fall on that you’re fooked. I know he’s out injured but he obviously wouldn’t have fancied it either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to the referees at both of those games they made a decision and stuck with it .unlike ours who procrastinated and finally ultimate left the decision to others allegedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSizeFitz Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Should really have just called it off yesterday... was clear it was always going to be a big risk that the pitch wouldn't be playable - so for the benefit of the fans, players, club officials, caterers etc. etc. surely it would have been more sensible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably because there was no possibility of playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 To counter the disappointment of the postponement, for those who care, which is probably only me, the mighty Lions ladies are now 2023 premiers!!! Both men and women made the GF this year. The men got pipped by 4 points, the ladies victorious by 17. GO LIONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training a bit different to a match. Did they use the full pitch? Were they soft in training? Did the youths train? Did anyone have a clipboard?

I find it strange they didn't just postpone on the first inspection as it would have needed to warm up considerably for the game to go ahead.

Who are “them”? Might it be the players who were happy to play the match, and so were happy to train? Might there be a difference between training on a dodgy surface, and a full-on match? Fans with tickets yesterday will get the chance to attend the rearranged match, or a refund. Yes, it was inconvenient for fans who travelled hoping to see a match, but it wasn’t cancelled in order to upset anybody. You often post interesting points on here, @BP1960, but you let yourself down sometimes with an unduly negative view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have done absolutely everything to get that on. Shame for those travelling but it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
