I agree, thats what I meant about making sure they price to make sure they cover the expenses of the re-arranged game. I would guess that's quite a percentage of the gate at Stanley, the days of paying stewards with washers have gone
Cheers for the clarifications Dave
I don't know how much expenses occur on a typical gate but I would think it's not a small percentage at Stanley. The worst thing about an abandoned match is that Morecambe can actually claim expenses out of the gate money, which they wouldn't normally get for an away match
Admission prices for the rearranged match will be reduced. Season ticket holders will of course get in for free. Morecambe fans were concerned that they had no evidence that they were at the match, however, reduced prices will apply to all fans attending the rearranged match regardless of whether they attended today. More details in due course.
Whoever pays the officials wants a bullet between the eyes,a disgraceful abandonment .
Or stopped their prima donna players from getting it abandoned in the first place!They should have checked their own club rules first
The shame of it all is Bury fought and got a game cancelled as they had several untried signings, no one from Morecambe seemed to have made any approach to the officials before the dismissal asking for the game to be halted because of the pitch,and a victory for us would have seen us in 13 or 14 in the league,a wonderful turnaround .........Still 17 th is fine with games in hand,3 on York in 13 th and only 2 points ahead of us.
Exactly and to be honest some of the post match comments on Radio Lancashire by your manager haven't helped the belief that MFC did all they could to get the match called off.
What belief? yeh mean FACT

What a load of old ballcocks. The bald-headed scouse tart Ellison purposely kicked the ball into the area of standing water and went screaming to the referee. When the referee subsequently abandoned the match Ellison raised his gloved hand (who's ever heard of a scouser wearing gloves because of a bit of rain?
) and waved towards the Clayton End grinning like a Cheshire cat.I suppose telling porkies n making excuses,is much better than admitting yeh support a load of tarts.
Read my thread carefully,BEFORE the dismissal,Ellison the bald extremely ugly specimen never approached the officials with any problem about the playing surface.......after half -time he deserves an oscar along with your manager another pretty specimen on a bigger scale than Ellison who constantly badgered the fourth official......hopefully the clock will return to twelve.

What porkies?
What excuses?
Funny how you didn't have a go at Bury last week who certainly wanted the match off!
