Re: Match Off

Was talking at work yesterday of coming over for this but decided against because I was doubtful it would go ahead.

With a difficult round trip of 170 miles (roughly 4.5 hours) just as well wasn't it?

"Sounds like Accrington need to learn that if they want to play in the big professional league they need to act like a bigger professional club.


Pesuading a local ref to keep a match on when it seems it was so obviously not fit for purpose is amateurish in the extreme.

I suspect AS is quietly pleased we are not playing on a bog and being brought down to their level with all the risks of injuries as well."

Re: Match Off

Feel sorry for both sets of fans with game called off so late. But went I got there and saw pitch it didn't look fit to play with big grass less penalty area at town end and sidelines in same shape.

Re: Match Off

I was puzzled this morning when they kept saying there were no problems but had called a football league official in for an early inspection. I thought that was totally contradictory

Re: Match Off

Absolutely pathetic that the decision to call the game off came at 2:00p.m. Was dropped off outside the Crown at 2:45p.m. and thought it looked a bit quiet. Was greeted by some Brentford fans who told me the news that the game was called off at 2. They sounded totally P****d off and who could blame them !!

Whoever made the decision to leave it so late to make the call to postpone the game should hang their head in shame. After the week of weather we've had, surely it only takes a modicum of common sense to make an educated decision. Obviously whoever did make the decision doesn't have any.

Re: Match Off

Did you see the state of the pitch ? looked alright at the Clayton end and in the centre but the Accy end wasn't good, surprised they said it was Ok at 10AM

Is it not quicker over Blubberhouses down the A59 from Harrogate?

I took that route to Bradford today and those Crosshills roadworks are a real pain.
