Bl***y hell, couldn’t someone have given the ref an umbrella?

Kiwi John · 08-12-2018, 15:39

Abandoned !!!! Wtf??

No choice at all the pitch was holding water badly before the big deluge, simple as. Thought we were the better side today, Have been told the result stands after 70 mins dunno if thats correct? Also thought Ripley was badly at fault for not booting the ball big time away.

So whats the story about the replay- does STANLEY let you in for free or a 'minimal' charge?

Dont think there is one but aint 100%.

I don’t think the 70 minutes means anything. A game must last at least 90 minutes. It’ll have to be replayed, but how that affects ticket holders is for another person to answer.

Kiwi John · 08-12-2018, 16:50

...Logic to me would suggest they charge around 25% of the normal price but since when nowdays does logic count??

Definitely has to be replayed Cashy, Dan confirmed after the game that the old rule whereby a result stood after a certain amount of time was changed a long time ago & all matches have to be completed so we'll be welcoming Sunderland again, more than likely on a Tuesday night

Cheers Di thought there was some rule wasn't aware it had been done away with.Both managers were in agreement it should be called off, But the Village Idiot thought it shouldnt have been,

Trust Mother Nature to rain on our parade.
The most eagerly anticipated game of the season ruined for both sets of fans.
Big respect to the exposed Sunderland fans (& both teams) for having to endure a tempest of biblical proportions.
There was little need for pre-match nerves about our high-flying visitors - we were just as good as them & shaded the first half.
Whether their goal rebounded off the arm of their forward or not - it was a major blunder by Ripley which handed them the lead.
If the Mackems thought we'd roll over they were gravely mistaken.
Once again, our lads battled back to score a much deserved equaliser.
Honours even then & more importantly, another BIG club who have learnt no one should underestimate little Accrington Stanley.

Hello Accy. The last time this happened (versus us I think) you charged 50% of the original entry fee to go to the rearranged fixture i.e. £10. that was a bit annoying because I still think that if you've paid for something which is null and void and have a ticket to prove it, you should be able to get in again on that original ticket.Anyway you still need to sort that pitch out! Probably needs all the clay digging out to about 10 feet down and a complete new base laying. Otherwise you're going to keep having the same issues every season. Can't think of another club with so many abandonments in recent seasons.
