Contrary to popular opinion Mab, not all us ladies prefer shopping to football - especially on a Saturday afternoon, personally I can't think of anything worse:(

Having seen who the ref is might be better for you if he calls it off and can't do the re-arranged match :D

Why, who was it?

Cheaters.

The temperature was expected to be -5, it reached -5.

What is the e-mail address for your club?

Well you come from that part of the country were football supporters are classed on how they turn up on Match Days, they're great supporters because the stand on the terraces topless waving their shirts above their heads when its -9c. to me they're not supporters they're just dickheads, which has been amply portrayed by your posts on here:moon::thefinger:thefinger:thefinger

Nothing to do with injuries and cheating. Eric's been on the easyjet site and found a cheaper flight to Spain, leaving Manchester at 4 o'clock.

Take a look at the games off section on Ceefax.I think you'll find that the cold snap hasn't just been isolated to Accrington !!

No its freezing here.

And yes there are games off all over the country. But then Accrington isn't all over the country is it, Accrington is Accrington. Different places have had different weather and you'll find a lot of these other matches are off because the pitches were already frozen rock solid.

HOWEVER, yours had thawed, was not rock solid, and was perfectly playable yesterday. All you had to do was negiotate through one freezing night. I found it incredible that your club were saying "not expecting any problems and the pitch is fine" in view of the forecast for last night.

It should have been an absolute no brainer to cover the entire pitch, and the fact that you didn't do this makes me suspicious.

Bury's match is on - they covered their pitch.

If you had covered your pitch and it had still frozen, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Re: Pitch Inspection

It really comes down to bad communications from the club... yet again!

Why say "There's no problem with the pitch" yesterday, when it was obvious that it would freeze last night? I'm no weather reader, but even I knew that it would be rock hard today. To add insult to injury, the club then states that is was 'surprised' by the freezing conditions!!

Bunch of amateurs, and with your injuries it probably suits to have it called off.

They'll be saying "oh it was warmer the last couple of days and we didn't anticipate the frost last night"....they were planting the seeds for this yesterday because they knew deep down that it would freeze and they could play the "caught out" card....."well how were we supposed to know? we had no frost the previous couple of days...."

Shocking behaviour from Stanley.

Is this because somebody stole your car park sign last season???

Re: Pitch Inspection

Well have to say that late last night eric said the whole pitch had been covered and as of yesterday it was soft in all areas and he had been talking to the match ref who was happy as long as it was covered...the early pitch inspection was due to it being colder than expected last night

Look, I said what I said, it isn't trolling, I'm pee'd off about your failure to ensure the fixture, I've said exactly the same on the Darlo board. I wouldn't troll my own board and I'm not trolling this one.

I don't understand why it was 'colder than expected'. Was it -10 or something last night?
