Swindon Town v Crawley Town Official Non Matchday Thread

[hobnob]

Put on bt sport and look at lutons pitch, no fucking chance our game should be off looking at that

We don't want our Barcelona footy dragged down to Creepiest level by conditions like that!

 :poofs:

[grubby]

As ours would have been if we played today. Forks were going in easily and the water was not going away. The worst area was where the stage and audience for the concerts were.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

If they can play on their pitch and it is 'safe' to do so, then looking at ours I see no reason why ours is cancelled.

Rather we just cracked on with the game and get on with it

The game would have been a farce and the pitch would have been fucked for the rest of the season so no thanks.

To be fair to the ref, it does look like a heavier band of rain may push in later too.

I know you boys will have done your best grubby but should it not have been looked at a bit earlier than 1pm?

[TheMajorSTFC]

Right decision it seems, but surely could have been made earlier? Maybe the ref was out on a bender last night and turned up late?

Ref didn't get to the ground until just before 12. He inspected then and later at 1 when he called it off.

Did it get severely worse between 12 and 1 then? Could have saved me (and a few others I should think) some travelling. Given the weather (which had been forecast) I'd have thought the pitch should have been looked at a lot earlier. Ce la vie though, been here plenty of times, just not for a home game for a few years.

Bad management  in my opinion by the club with a distiinct lack of info likely due to lack of staff. Could have got a local ref in earlier and called this off like other clubs did. Would have saved myself and a good few more a wasted trip ( 60 miles in my case)

[Arriba]

It was the ref's call. These things happen so nobody is to blame for it.
If it had been called off this morning the fans would be moaning the club didn't do enough to get it played.

Surely only the ref (or I guess the police) can call it off? How is it the clubs fault.

[Family at War]

Club could have got a Ref in earlier to inspect the pitch , done all the time

[tans]

The club said that the game was on with no pitch inspection, sp didnt do themselves any favours imo

I thought we had assurances that the pitch would not be harmed in any way as a result of the concerts.

[THE FLASH]

Thank fuck......I dragged my raggedy arse out of bed at 1:30 ish......bullet dodged....
