Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Hexagon on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:04:48 Just on our official Twitter now as off.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:05:01 yup, it's off:

Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: dporter on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:07:33 It's on their official site now. Frozen pitch - Bollocks! FFS! Fed up of these shite grounds in our division that can't cope with a bit of weather. Glad i got my train tickets insured for this one! Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off??

We could all go in suits and make a variation on the theme of a ticker tape welcome by lobbing P45s onto the pitch to greet the Swindon players. Richie could make an appropriate record selection = "Tax Man", "Money, Money, Money", "Pennies from Heaven" etc. During the match we can chant at the Swindon players You're not getting paid, You're not getting paid, You're not getting, You're not getting, You're not getting paid! Any other ideas? Maybe some of their supporters could line up along the touchline and blow some more hot air across the pitch? It might just work. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: horlock07 on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:12:31 Its not even that bloody cold up here at the moment!

Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: STFC_Manc on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:15:00 forecast is for 4-5 degrees tomorrow, surely it will be playable tomorrow?
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Mother Brown on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:16:37 Do they use the same pitch covers as Orient + Colchester ? :sherlock:
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: horlock07 on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:16:55 I suspect this is possibly a pre-emptive move in view of the potential snow tonight! However it was supposed to be snowing here (Manchester) from lunchtime and its done nothing yet so I wouldnt place too much trust in the forecast.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:17:02 Run run run Rovers!!! :D
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Gnasher on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:21:11 They've got a couple of injuries to key players and knew they'd lose to us. It's a conspiracy I tell you.
Don't mention the floodlights. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Ralphy on Friday, January 25, 2013, 13:53:35 Fed up with these Mickey Mouse teams in this league. When did out supporters suddenly turn into Leeds fans ? Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, January 25, 2013, 14:02:25 Why oh why do our games always seem to get called off so early??
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: lambourn red on Friday, January 25, 2013, 14:47:25 They never fancied this at all after the arse raping we gave them a few weeks back I think they are just delaying the inevitable
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: walcot red on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:00:17 Why oh why do our games always seem to get called off so early?? Better then getting up there and then find out the game has been postponed. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: bassett boy on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:02:55 Better then getting up there and then find out the game has been postponed. ThisTitle: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: blah blah on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:06:56 Better then getting up there and then find out the game has been postponed. I remember going to Bolton for the League Cup semi final, got all the way to the ground before finding out it was called off. Not a pleasant feeling to know after spending 3 hours+ in the car to get there, you have to turn around and do it all again. Now I never go to a game without having the radio on just in case.... Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: hobnob on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:16:55 They've got a couple of injuries to key players and knew they'd lose to us. It's a conspiracy I tell you. Starting to look like it lately - they can run but they will have to face us soon!Don't mention the floodlights. Think we have got some worried about us all of a sudden. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Batch on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:32:12 On the plus side, now only 3 away games in a row..-
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: joteddyred on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:42:35 Disappointing. Hopefully we'll still be on fire when it's rearranged?
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Coca Fola on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:49:00 Better then getting up there and then find out the game has been postponed. That's what 9am pitch inspections are for. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:59:09 Makes me feel less guilty about watching fleetwood v pox corporate......agreed that last season.
Phew guilt bullet dodged. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: tj2002 on Friday, January 25, 2013, 15:59:47 Ah well, they can postpone as many games as they wan’t we’ll still win this league!
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Notts red on Friday, January 25, 2013, 16:17:19 Bloody frustrating but to be fair it looks like they are going to get a good covering of snow up there tonight. If they could find any volunteers not on ASBO's and 6pm curfews they may of been able to shift it.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: STFC_Gazza on Friday, January 25, 2013, 16:18:28 I can remember clearing their pitch of Snow back in January 86. Lou Macari wanted the game postponed but the ref was happy as long as the lines were cleared.
Didn't help much as we lost 3-1 But at least we won the title that season ;D Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Friday, January 25, 2013, 16:29:31 Scousers scared of another 5-0 hammering I think
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Ginginho on Friday, January 25, 2013, 16:30:25 Makes me feel less guilty about watching fleetwood v pox corporate......agreed that last season. Phew guilt bullet dodged. What exactly makes it corporate out of interest? Do you get a plate with your pasty? Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Ralphy on Friday, January 25, 2013, 16:36:25 What exactly makes it corporate out of interest? Do you get a plate with your pasty? You'd be surprised. I've been to Fleetwood and their facilities are top notch. The home bar puts the Legends Lounge to shame so I can only imagine what the facilities are like in their main stand where the boxes are.

Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, January 25, 2013, 17:46:44 They never fancied this at all after the arse raping we gave them a few weeks back I think they are just delaying the inevitable Apparently they have been chomping at the bit to play us and get revenge though which makes this decision even more baffling. Oh well. To be honest it's probably good that we get a few days extra rest ahead of a busy few weeks. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, January 25, 2013, 18:00:02 Better then getting up there and then find out the game has been postponed. I knew some one would say that - Do you not think that maybe there's a happy medium somewhere between 24+ hours before and 30 minutes before? :hmmm:Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: pauld on Friday, January 25, 2013, 18:01:13 You'd be surprised. I've been to Fleetwood and their facilities are top notch. The home bar puts the Legends Lounge to shame Oh well, then. That's a clincher :)Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Ralphy on Friday, January 25, 2013, 18:13:20 Oh well, then. That's a clincher :) I was just using it as an example mate. Fleetwood's ground isn't the one burger van and portakabin that many would think. I was shocked. Well smart Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: corner on Friday, January 25, 2013, 21:48:33 Is ther no way we can complain about this, it's a joke, the weather from midnight up their is above freezing and by 3am 5 degrees. Surely a 8a, pitch inspection would have been better?
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Notts red on Friday, January 25, 2013, 21:54:59 Following on from that, does a football league rep have to check to confirm the pitch is already unplayable now they have postponed?
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Paolo69 on Friday, January 25, 2013, 22:02:26 If they've had as much snow up there as I suspect then it would probably have been off anyway. To call it off for a frozen pitch at lunchtime today with the forecasted temperatures is pretty baffling though.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: leefer on Friday, January 25, 2013, 22:05:50 Floodlight Revenge ;)
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Paolo69 on Friday, January 25, 2013, 22:09:35 Long memories those scousers. Bitter too!
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: joteddyred on Friday, January 25, 2013, 22:18:07 Apparently there's quite heavy snow falling further north at the moment.

Post by: supermarioTV on Friday, January 25, 2013, 22:44:32 What a fucker, I had a conference in manchester this morning and stayed on over night to watch the game tomorrow, and the roads next to the hotel are now piled high in snow, so I'm not looking forward to driving home tomorrow morning in it, what a fucker fucker
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Paolo69 on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 12:24:29 Fixture computer and Mother Nature not been kind to us the last month or so. First we had to play Leyton Orient in the wettest place in league one on Boxing Day, then we get Colchester 3 days later when they've had more rain than the rest of the country. Now we get Tranny when it seems they're situated in the coldest spot in the country.
Annoying? Nah! Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: adje on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 12:45:50 heavy rain for London on tuesday!
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Paolo69 on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 12:50:03 heavy rain for London on tuesday! Cheerful soul. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 15:23:44 I would like to think that the FL will ask Tranmere how they did not manage to get the game on when games are currently being played at Burnley, Carlisle, Preston, Fleetwood and Hyde Cunting United.
Does The Wirrall have its own Arctic micro climate?? Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: tans on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 15:40:45 Apparently they were training on the pitch this morning aswell. Dont know how true it is, it was all over twitter.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: joteddyred on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 15:55:25 Apparently they were training on the pitch this morning aswell. Dont know how true it is, it was all over twitter. If true, then surely it will have to be looked into? I assume the ref called it off, but it makes you wonder why they didn't have covers on the pitch Thursday night given the weather, which apparently they didn't? Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 15:59:39 I would like to think that the FL will ask Tranmere how they did not manage to get the game on when games are currently being played at Burnley, Carlisle, Preston, Fleetwood and Does The Wirrall have its own Arctic micro climate?? I take it back, Hyde Cunting United's game is off. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it does seem a bit odd that a number of games in fairly close proximity to Prenton Park are being played and yet our game is off. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 16:03:25 I take it back, Hyde Cunting United's game is off. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it does seem a bit odd that a number of games in fairly close proximity to Prenton Park are being played and yet our game is off. Think about it OST...atm Tranmere are bricking it at the thought of playing us, give it a month and we could be a completely different club, got to worth a punt from their point of view. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, January 26, 2013, 16:12:19 Think about it OST...atm Tranmere are bricking it at the thought of playing us, give it a month and we could be a completely different club, got to worth a punt from their point of view. That's what I'm saying Reg. I don't like to put forward conspiracy theories but I have to say I don't think Trannies were overly bothered about getting the game on. There are a lot of games being played today which wouldn't be getting played if the respective clubs didn't want to get them on. The same goes for our game last week.I can't abide whinging football fans and their conspiracy theories but as I say, this postponement seems a bit odd to me. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off??

I can't abide whinging football fans and their conspiracy theories but as I say, this postponement seems a bit odd to me. Bradford City is another one off....you can imagine their players need a bit of a rest after their midweek heroics. No we're being screwed over by these clubs no mistake. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 17:00:50 I went to fleetwood v pox corporate.
Pitch was sticky but playable (although the pox were shite and couldn't!). I flew into Liverpool airport from Amsters early pm and there had been snow but it was 6 degrees and just slush. I just don't think they took enough precautions for the pitch....if they meant not to is the discussion? Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Summerof69 on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 17:20:05 I just don't think they took enough precautions for the pitch....if they meant not to is the discussion? I have my doubts that they wanted the game to go ahead. That is three times in the last month that our game has been the first game off, more than 24 hours before KO. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 17:35:06 I have my doubts that they wanted the game to go ahead. That is three times in the last month that our game has been the first game off, more than 24 hours before KO. Put it this way....I don't think they tried THAT hard to get the game on.Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Paolo69 on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 18:24:51 If it was 6 degrees as Flash says then how the hell could the pitch be frozen still? I think the number of games played means that it wasn't.
Now I would have been more pissed off with travelling only to see it called off, I do think this inspection was far too early at the very least. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Summerof69 on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 18:26:44 It was very noticable that the only two games off in the FL, were the two games that were both called off more than 24 hours before KO.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: RobertT on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 18:35:57 Well, for years our games got called off because a 20 yard strip of the pitch was frozen solid at the meerest hint of frost, not to mention some game being abandoned due to flood light failure!
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 19:16:20 Well, for years our games got called off because a 20 yard strip of the pitch was frozen solid at the meerest hint of frost, not to mention some game being abandoned due to flood light failure! And I just remembered - in the days of the old Shrivvy Road Stand, on more than one occasion games were called off because if winds of something stupid like over 3mph were forecast the stand was deemed to be unsafe in those circumstances.Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Arriba on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 19:33:58 What's their injury-suspension situation? Deffo didn't try to get it on did they.
Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: Mrs Miggins on Sunday, January 27, 2013, 21:57:10 We were virtually in Liverpool by the time the postponement came through. Had the weekend booked since August. Lots of snow late Friday night on the Wirrell but had mostly gone by Saturday morning - which was much milder. Decided to go watch Fleetwood tonk Pox and had a cackling time with the locals who loved the fact we were enjoying their win as much as they were.
Town hats and scarves were worn once safely inside the ground, which is actually really nice with a great fans bar. We found a STFC 50-50 draw ticket on us which we left on the windscreen of the Pox Jack FM car just to round their day off nicely. Pox were shocking! Cod Army. Title: Re: Tranmere Game Off?? Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, January 28, 2013, 08:41:01 I was upstairs in the main stand...pox were dogshite.
Did you see Parkin come on for Fleetwood? The White Akinkenwa! |
