Match Off

Poor do! What the hell has happened since yesterday's "no problems report"? No further rain, that's for sure. Is it a case of an over-fussy referee? What about the pitch at our game at Posh? Just feel terribly sorry for all the Brentford fans as well as fuming for the rest of us.

Not just since yesterday, the pitch was inspected at 10am this morning.
 
Who the f**k is this pillock of a ref, anyway? Same one who called off the snowy one a couple of seasons ago?

First season on the league if it's the one listed on the Football League appointments. A.Haines

Not sure if you had him in the conference
 
Has anyone got a method of remotely turning off Kiwi John's alarm. Pretty sure he gets up in the middle of the night to tune in.

Feel sorry for the Brentford fans who have travelled.

No game should be called off this close to kick off!

Disgraceful!

Can sympathise with them. We travelled to Reading last season and the game was called off at 2.30ish. Mind you it was still raining then.

Games like today where you get a football league official saying the pitch is fit at 10am and then the match official turning up later and saying it's off is bloody annoying for all concerned.
 
Brentford fans who were on the ground at the second inspection say there was never any chance of the game going ahead and think Stanley pressurised the first inspection ref. They also say our officials were abusing the match referee as he made his decision. They want Fraser Eagle to lay free coaches on for the re-arranged fixture. Whatever the truth of the matter, it's yet another absolute cock-up.

Not quite, 3:45 AM to be precise....bit of a bummer..I shall go back to bed for a couple of hours more zzzzzs.
 
Was talking at work yesterday of coming over for this but decided against because I was doubtful it would go ahead.

With a difficult round trip of 170 miles (roughly 4.5 hours) just as well wasn't it?

"Sounds like Accrington need to learn that if they want to play in the big professional league they need to act like a bigger professional club.


Pesuading a local ref to keep a match on when it seems it was so obviously not fit for purpose is amateurish in the extreme.

I suspect AS is quietly pleased we are not playing on a bog and being brought down to their level with all the risks of injuries as well."

Feel sorry for both sets of fans with game called off so late. But went I got there and saw pitch it didn't look fit to play with big grass less penalty area at town end and sidelines in same shape.
