Quotes on their forum claiming that there was going to be 5 youth player,s on the bench postponement suited them more than us, should have been cancelled a lot earlier I hinted on here it could be off after seeing the highlights of Sundays game against Rotherham the flank down the main stand was unplayable then disgrace having both home and away from fans traveling in storm and danger to life conditions.

On the bright side, Ross will be back from suspension for the re arranged fixture!

Sir

Once again you don't have all the facts.

Fully accept SWFC didn't put too much effort into getting the game ON

Ref wasn't asked to do an early inspection.

He was asked to do an inspection at 3-30pm. He'd only just left the North East at this time.

5-30 inspection was the time Sheff Weds announced

When ref rang ASFC Coley asked could he be involved in the decision. At that time there was clear skys and no rain in South Yorkshire

Ref agreed to this but the complicated approach to the players/staff drop off point at SWFC added extra time to Coley getting onto the pitch

Alledgly no groundstaff work from SWFC until ref went on pitch :(

And Ross able to play

Re: Sheffield Wednesday Thread
 

If that is true you can read between the lines. If the ref also took so long in his inspection there must have been some doubt in his mind to whether it was possible to play the game. If it was so bad with a bad local weather forcast at his disposal his decision would have been quite a quick one.
