It will be a soft ref probably did not want his boots to get muddy, he should of been with me this morning watching young lads play on the fields. ITS A JOKE!!!!!!!!
The game was obviously going to be off, with our pitch the way it is. Why we didn't go through the formality of inspecting it before the Southend team and fans travelled I have no idea.
Stanley are currently a bit of a laughing stock in football league circles. The club still has an Evo-Stick league mentality, and facilities for that matter. Looking at that picture of the pitch, tells it's own story. It's a disgrace, pointed out by Aldershot FC last August !!!!, The football league must be close to taking action action against Stanley for the complete shambles of a pitch and stadium
Our club is going down the pan & it kills me.
We are being run by a man whose only experience of football is videoing the game.
More & more will just not bother like Cashy..... such a shame

I couldn't agree more WM, its gone beyond farce!
We stopped a few getting on the bus down here but some insisited we were pulling their leg and carried on anyway.
Couple of Southend fans got off Rochdale bus ( presumably they came by train ) and asked where the ground was. Told them it was off, wish I had a swear box I'd be rich !
Can see the Football League coming down hard this time, wouldn't suprise me if they insist on early pitch inspections from now until the end of the season

This is an absolute farce..... Posted my score prediction without looking on the fishy site / or other threads, went to put my normal online footy bet on and then noticed no betting on our game !!!
If £70000 has been spent on that pitch, they want to bill the company who laid it for all the lost revenue and all other expenses that have resulted from games called off.....floodlight costs, etc,etc,etc.
Really do feel sorry for the Southend folk who would have travelled.

the real shame jase is i am already aware of folk that aint bothered this season, n all fer the same reason its going down the pan soley because of the ownership fiasco, i have no doubt of that, no-one i know expects a super stadium or big signings as that is beyond a club like stanley, but everyone i think has a right to have what stability a club like stanley can provide, many hoped this would have come to pass by now, but no it just drags on n on n on.
I spoke to a couple of Southend fans at the ground,they been travelling since 7.45 this morning , they seemed very understanding and were heading for Blackburn Rovers instead.
To say £70,000 has been spent on the pitch it is time Stanley sued the company who did the work.
I just hear radio and ref on passing the buck, says Stanley should have requested an early inspection , and it now up to F.A. as to what action to take.

Common sense tells me its going to get worse before its gets better the PITCH i mean
We need to relocate the games to another venue ie Burnley/Blackburn for the rest of the season
Need to get contracter back to dig the bloody thing up and start again they cannot keep patching it up
By the way the local council pitches were played on this morning by the kids !

Absolute disgrace, and I am once more utterly ashamed to be a Stanley fan. A Southend fan from Harrogate on a motor bike saw my scarf and stopped me after I had got 100 yards up the road and I didn't believe him. I had checked the website just before setting off and was just watching all the footie matches in progress over on Wilson's playing fields. Without a drought we are never going to get any matches on for months, and it's not as if we have had any meaningful rainfall this week! I hate to be wise after the event, but I remember posting months ago before the work on the pitch started that 70 grand was like in the wind. Can we not beg Rovers and Burnley to let us play our home games alternately on their patches, please? Whaddya think, Dave?

Its one thing after another.... Player registration fiascos, club mascot fiascos, tax bill fiascos, ground grading fiascos, ownership fiascos, more player registration fiascos, players not being paid, managers not being paid, small companies not being paid......
There is nothing to feel proud of about being Stanley, bar Coley & Bell

Might end up that way yet, which is even more expense for Stanley.
We're doomed, then.Might end up that way yet, which is even more expense for Stanley.
I don't think you've heard the last of that one yet if Barnet finish in the bottom 2
