The handling of today's shambles all goes back to Rob Heys, surely he should have got in touch with the match referee earlier to sort out an inspection at a reasonable hour. The referee is not to blame for the state of the pitch, he just made a decision which he felt was made to protect the players from injury. I feel sorry for the Southend fans that had a wasted journey and this just adds to our cashflow problems with yet another cancelled match. Is it too much to ask to get a game on at 3pm on a Saturday? If this continues then the Football League will be forced to act and sort out some sort of punishment. I agree with an earlier comment that the club tried to force the referee to play the game due to the lack of time given for the inspection before the game and this just shows why we are the laughing stock of the league.
