I am fucking fuming.....got there at 7 and the young lad on the gate told me it had just been cancelled.....What cunts!
He told me the ref did not believe the ball was bouncing/running right.....his words so not official!.
There was no snow in the entire area - it looked as if there had been some rain as all the tarmac and cars were wet and damp.
I drove up from Calne (leaving at 4-10 ish) it didnt snow at all but did rain a bit.
Why did the Wolves game go ahead?
only about 6 miles away.....
I have now checked the official Walsall site and they state that after several inspections the match was called off at 6-45pm. What sort of time is that to call a fucking match off??
There was no driving snow, fog, rain.....and the temp was about 4c so no chance of the pitch freezing...
I understand that other matches were abandoned but the weather was drifting down on them.
At 6pm i could of gone to see Wolves v Taffy Bastards!! and rescued the evening somewhat...
So my conclusion is thus:
EITHER:
1. The Referee is a complete knob end and pissed about instead of cancelling early.
2. Walsall did not clear the pitch - from what i saw there was a light dusting which could of been cleared piss easy with 5 guys and 5 brooms...I know this can be done as i have done this myself at my local village pitch some years ago. Having said that the pictures looked like it would of cleared itself in ten minutes of football.
It isnt good enough and i will be contacting the Town for their slant on it tomorrow.
Once again the loyal faithful that are football fans are shit on again (Walsall fans were pissed off too).
