Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread
 

At least our "little" defenders won't have "The Beast" Mansett to worry about. He's about to sign for Reading for a reported fee of 440,000+!!!!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

Here's the pre-match interview with Coley from the training ground this morning. You might be able to hear the lads in the background being put through their paces by the medical staff!

Re: Hereford thread
 

Cheers once again Dan.:)

Re: Hereford thread
 

I thought the file title was Coley's prediction :)

Re: Hereford thread
 

Think that the frost would help to be honest Grimps, it might help to make the pitch harder - especially in the middle!!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

Just got home as working nights, temp fell to -5.5 overnight hope they had the covers on. Off to bed now so hopefully catch you all at the game if its on.

Re: Hereford thread
 

As long as the pitch is rolled and not rutted anywhere it should be okay by this afternoon. Just about 0 degrees now so should start defrosting soon :)

Re: Hereford thread
 

Just got back from shopping and the pizzas were defrosting nicely:D

Re: Hereford thread
 

Somebody posted on twitter about a pitch inspection at 10.30

Re: Hereford thread
 

Yes inspection on Hereford site 10:30

Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread
 

The distance will come into it Grimps, still rubbish though!!!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

Spot on Shaker, £70K what a joke!!! At this rate we will have as many called off, as last season..

Re: Hereford thread
 

I would think Hereford are sat in the Dunk having breakfast.

Re: Hereford thread
 

I was meaning the FANs, more than the team, but fair point..

Re: Hereford thread
 

Eastwood off also Grimps...

Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread

Re: Hereford thread
 

beyond a joke.:mad:

Re: Hereford thread
 

How many Saturday matches have been called off this season? The reason I ask is due to shift work I cant attend midweek games, and was wondering if I should forget my season ticket next season and pay on the gate.

Re: Hereford thread
 

70,000 more like 7,000 why do we not have covers the one we have are no good . are peel park at home to day

Re: Hereford thread
 

My Dad aint happy either

Re: Hereford thread
 

absolute joke!!!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

Good start to the back the boys playoff push eh :(


Tho no surprise it's off!

Re: Hereford thread
 

The only game in the entire football league and Blue Square Prem called off so far. Shamefully embarrasing.

Re: Hereford thread
 

Were the current covers on ?

Re: Hereford thread
 

what covers do we actually have and do we still have the receipt from b&q?

Re: Hereford thread
 

I reckon this is the 4th (if you count the Boxing Day game v Crewe, which was actually a Sunday) - Shrewsbury (4th Dec) Burton (18th Dec), Crewe (26th) and now Hereford :mad:

Re: Hereford thread
 

I reckon Coley and Jimmy will be off if there's much more of this farce.:(

Re: Hereford thread
 

To be fair, this is the first proper one I think, most of the others were the entire card off with the snow!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

just have a game off footy with the lads . that should have been playing 5 aside at accy to day the new mens league. to start to day like the kids one. wel we not doing it at accy we have found one at burnley thats more money lost . so thats£ 70 plus beer food and programe lost. so maybe over £150

Re: Hereford thread
 

Gutted, was looking forward to the game today. Make do with watching Scunthorpe beat the Clarets at 5

Re: Hereford thread
 

Looks like you didn't have a good day then :D

Re: Hereford thread
 

I normally don't comment on any games nor on the cancellation (and the reasons thereof) of any matches, the reason being that residing in the smoke there are relatively few I get to see. However, I do try and work around a calender that allows me to get back to Accy around half a dozen times a year to see a home game.

Last week, I looked at the calender and decided to take the opportunity to take in the Hereford game. I checked the weather forecasts in advance and called a few people back in Accy and the picture emerging was that of a slight frost but no weather problems, so I came up on thursday night ready for the game. There was no indication of any problem friday; on saturday morning, it seemed OK; then saturday lunchtime, it was off.

So it was a wasted journey - and not a cheap one, at that. Surely there should be some indication on the official site of a probability of a game being on (or not) during the cold weather period, or at least some indication of what is happening and what is the state of the pitch?

Re: Hereford thread
 

will the morecombe game be on lol

Re: Hereford thread
 

Wasn't there some sort of scheme this season whereby you got credit in the shop for unused tickets.

Preston are doing something on those lines;

Re: Hereford thread
 

Well at least we were not the only club to have the game called off - Bradford had there's called off for the same reason.

Re: Hereford thread
 

:) Accrington Stanley have the 4th highest Ground in the football league so it's not really surprising to have games called off this time of year, but at 516ft above sea leval we have a 50/50 chance depending on the weather and with temps at -5.5 last friday night /saturday morning in Accy their was little hope really :(.... for full list of grounds click on the link http://www.midfielddynamo.com/stadia...nd_highest.htm

Re: Hereford thread
 

Aren't we lucky? A ground that's not only one of the highest but also one of the wettest.But at least Ilyas got rid of the slope.

Re: Hereford thread
 

But not the resident slopey shoulders ! :D

Re: Hereford thread
 

They make it easier to shed the rain.;)

Re: Hereford thread
 

Maybe you should swap phone numbers :D

Re: Hereford thread
 

If the covers had been on the game would have been on, end of !!!:o:confused::mad:

Re: Hereford thread
 

Covers WERE ON!!

Went to -7c on Friday night, day time temps were forecast for +4c. Simply didn't happen.

Re: Hereford thread
 

well someones telling porkies, as we were informed on Friday the covers were not on.:confused:

Re: Hereford thread
 

Who's said covers weren't on?? I was there at 8-45 and after a quick brew helped Buzzer to remove the covers. Don't re-call any Accywebs being there, but I could be wrong!!

Re: Hereford thread
 

It was mentioned at the start of the season, never been mentioned since as far as I know

Re: Hereford thread
 

Do ya mean 8-45 Friday night or Sat Morning MrT?:confused:

Re: Hereford thread
 

8-45am SAT AM.:)

Covers were ON, over night. I believe they were on Thursday night as well, and were taken off Friday am to allow the pitch to "air" and then put back on Friday afternoon.

They were certainly on the pitch Friday night.

Re: Hereford thread
 

Cheers fer reply, clears that up.;)

Re: Hereford thread
 

I have no problem with that Mr T and no reason to doubt you. I was told by a fan that he was walking his dog at approx 6am Saturday morning and he thought the covers weren't on, I asked him if he was sure because it's still dark and he said "I had a good nosy but I wouldn't swear on the wifes life", crap source of info I think.:o
