Game on????
 

Is there any news regarding the chances of the game being postponed? Meant to be snow showers up and down coutry tonight! Anyone from southport got any news?

Suppose the early coach including me will be on the beach in southport before we hear any news :o :o :o

You'll be reet if you really are going as a furry Kermit, lol.;)

Re: Game on????
 

I'd have thought that the chances of the game being on are quite slim. It hasn't got above freezing today and all the ground has been deeply frozen for over 24 hours. With more low temperatures forecast for tonight and tomorrow, I can't see the game being on.

Normally it's slightly warmer on the coast than inland, but Blackpool's game was called off last night and Southport is only just down the road.

Re: Game on????
 

according to the fishy site their is going to an early pitch inspection at 10am with the results posted on their so fingers crossed!!!

Re: Game on????
 

This is the latest news, as posted on Southport FC's official website:



Tonights game against Accrington Stanley is in doubt due to the pitch still being frozen from the hard frost. Overnight snow and rain is causing water to lie on the surface and cannot drain away.

There was a pitch inspection at 10.00am, and the match referee has asked for a further inspection at 1.00pm

Re: Game on????
 

Fingers crossed. We aren't setting off till 5.45. Have both coaches left now?

Re: Game on????
 

I could walk it quicker!!

Re: Game on????
 

I may have been lied too. Baldy said the first coach was 7.28am.

Re: Game on????
 

The first coach was due to leave at 11am. At least that's what it says on the travel thread.

Re: Game on????
 

baldy isn't quite all there. coaches are 11am and 4pm. I can see the 11am coach now so running a few minutes late.

Re: Game on????
 

Well to say you dont even know me, you sound quite intelligent
for a little boy.

Anyway i thought schools dont go back till next week??

atleast you made your mum proud.

Re: Game on????
 

Southport fans on their forum yesterday were praying for the match to be off! Hoping to get new players in January.

Re: Game on????
 

isnt there any news yet if the match is on

Re: Game on????
 

From the fishy site:

LATEST NEWS - Southport v Accrington Stanley
Tonight's match referee will carry out third pitch inspection at 4.30pm ahead of this evening's game. Earlier inspections were carried out at 10am and 1pm but no decision could be made as to whether the pitch will be suitable for tonight.

Re: Game on????
 

cheers whalley red

Re: Game on????
 

I hope they make a final decision then and not go for a fourth inspection nearer ko time!!!

Re: Game on????
 

4.30 bit of a ****** for the fans on the coaches.:(

Forecast is more rain and higher temperatures. Fingers crossed.

Re: Game on????
 

Just to let you all know the game at the fantastic shay stadum is ON....

Over to you :-)

Re: Game on????
 

Ummmm.... thanks.... I think. :rolleyes:

It certainly looks more promising than it did earlier. It's warmer than it has been and the rain will help to soften the pitch. The only thing is if the pitch is now waterlogged.

I hope they either call it definitely on or off at 4.30, so we're not being messed around later.

Re: Game on????
 

According to the Southport website the game has been officially called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

From the site:

ACCRINGTON STANLEY GAME THIS EVENING HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Friday, December 30, 2005 (2 reads)

The match Referee has just inspected the pitch, and called the game off due to the pitch being waterlogged.

Anyone who feels they're missing out on a match can listen to Exeter v Hereford live on http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/herefordworcester/. Exeter are winning 1-0 after 4 minutes.

Re: Game on????
 

cheers Mike.... every time Hereford go forward Stanley gets a mention....

Re: Game on????
 

Things are looking better for Accy now with Hereford scoring on 29 and 42 minutes to make it 1-2. But the Bulls have just had Ipoua, who scored the first, sent off during the second goal celebrations - seems like he said something to the ref.

Re: Game on????
 

another 'great' refereeing decision...

Re: Game on????
 

come on, 2 points clear with 2 games in hand. Keep it going The Bulls...... 39 minutes to go......................................

Re: Game on????
 

and Exeter away coming up

Re: Game on????
 

So Hereford held on and created a few chances in the process. Their goalie, Brown, saved with his feet in the last minute. A good result for Stanley; as Macca said, 'two points clear with two games in hand'. Let's see what Stevenage can do at Grays tomorrow.

Re: Game on????
 

red card was very harsh, personally i think the referee adjudged Ipuoa giving the exeter fans the wa**** gesture but was pointing at jeannin name on his shirt but gladly the bulls held on and if they can go there and take all three so can we...

Re: Game on????
 

He was sent off for an "obscene gesture to the crowd". However, the officials got it completely wrong as the player was pointing to the goalscorer's name on the back of his shirt, rather than implying that Exeter fans were 'merchant bankers'.

The red card must be overturned by the FA.

Re: Game on????
 

A superb result for us... Well done Bulls...:engsmil:

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Game on????
 

They're not helping us very much but have just pulled one back on 76 minutes to make it 2-1 to Grays. They're playing well though. It's live on http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/essex/index.shtml for anyone who's interested.

Re: Game on????
 

Stevenage grab an equaliser! Great couple of days for stanley..Hopefully three points on monday :engsmil:

Re: Game on????
 

2-2. Thank you Boro'.

Re: Game on????
 

Some great results over the weekend, we should also say thanks to York for wiping the Shrimps smile of their faces, Boro for holding Grays and Hereford for thumping Exeter, all in all a good weekend considering we didnt play and should we win all our games in hand and beat Exeter on their turf we could conceivably be 11 points clear

Re: Game on????
 

excellent results whilst our players have a nice nap. We give em a day to catch up on us and take the psychological top of the table spot and neither of em can get near it. tut tut.

even better Morescum fail to beat York. Maybe Halifax and Hereford are the ones to watch for now?
