Willie,off just oer 1200 or so at home games 162 aint bad.
Match Off!
- Thread starter smudgie
- Start date
But why does the pitch have poor draining???=Tinpot methods used in the past.
We were the only game in the league/conference to be called off, not good enough and more lost revenue, how many new shirts would we have sold
Think you might want to check your facts on this one, because Mansfield v Luton Town was also called off for a waterlogged pitch
PS it was called off on Tuesday morning as well
For those who are to young or didn't attend games in the 80's 90's & early 2000's. The pitch was a disaster, diesel or heavily contaminated water having come from the Brick Works lay just under the surface. The playing surface now at The Crown as improved beyond recognition, not due to good luck but by the powers that be John Alty, Eric Whalley spending what the club could afford, and also by the dedication of people of people like Jim Shaw.
Money was spent during the close season to have the pitch verti drained, sanded & re seeded the improvement was quickly there for all to see.
Later on it was wings that proved to be in need of further work, this was done and proved to be a success.
As for the man who came from Man City he quickly came and went another who proved to be a Legend in their own Lunchtime.
You only need to watch the old 1st Div games to see how much playing surfaces have improved, it is a never ending spending spree but one that ultimately pays off.

if ya lived local mark you would know the facts! as is printed on the fishy site =IF people want THE FACTS, PM me and I'll give you what I believe.
To my knowledge the club did nothing wrong; but you need to understand "the rules"
The surface had coped well with the wet weather throughout the day but a period of heavy rainfall in the hour up to 5pm has left areas of the pitch very heavy, and the match referee has made the decision to postpone the game.----
this is utter crap, i was passing the crown approx 4-20 ish was no heavy rain whatsoever, Grimps posted there was water on the pitch in places when he left at 2-00 ish, stanley fans came from afar, yet mr heys is quoted as saying " a period of heavy rainfall in the hour before 5-00pm made pitch unplayable" well sorry the FACT is that did not occur!
and the thing most fans i talk to want is they just want the simple truth, is still NOT happening,i agree that had the match started,its odds on it would not have been completed, but thats another issue. seems some things will never change up yon, that is only to the clubs deteriment.

...so, basically, a wasted journey and a wasted £26 at the B&B...and the club can't even be honest with us.
Same old Stanley, always spinning.
Everything's fine with the pitch at the moment Grimps, game should be on 100% guaranteed until the heavy rainfall at approx 2.59pm which will have the game called off
I HAVE THE FACTS!!!! PM me!
I would imagine depending on whether Barnet are travelling tomorrow and staying over in a hotel or travelling up early Staurday morning.
An early descision will have to be made with regard the pitch for Saturday

Ahem ......... Excuse me boys but i think you will find i DEFO know the facts.........So P.M. ME !!!! 
Neigh lad, stop sitting on the fence, you can't keep it secret furlong
A huge apology from me, and from the club for any trouble caused by the cancellation of the tuesday game. I have seen some of the comments on this thread, and actually some people have contacted me directly to complain. I think its only fair that you have the right to feel aggrieved. I have spoken to Rob, and on this occasion, I would like to say that we (that is everyone at the club) is very sorry that there is a feeling that the club was deficient with information. I cant say that I know what we might be able to do differently, but since this clearly a problem that is likely to occur again, we need to be responsive to criticism and then see if we can improve. I have no desire to try and find excuses. the fact that so many people have voiced their negative views means that we (the club) must find a way to respond positively.
so - to all who feel that we let you down, I personally apologise. As club chairman, the buck does stop with me. I hope you will accept the apology. I also hope we do come back with a better routine next time around. I dont know what that improvement will be, but I promise you that I will try my best to influence a constructive review.
