Disgrace
 

Today's game being postponed certainly is a disgrace as it as resulted in two home games in a row being postponed and was postponed far too late, it should have been postponed earlier or yesterday so the away fans didn't have a wasted journey, I will be posting a letter to the club suggesting covers get put on the pitch prior to the heavy rain if it is forecast for next home game.

Re: Disgrace
 

Are you a Stanley fan or what? cos i have serious doubt about that.its obvious to me that this is down to a ref having little commonsense.

Re: Disgrace
 

How many threads do you need to start about this? Just write your letter without telling us every day. Covers would make no difference as there is nowhere for the water to drain into as every man and his dog have told you.

Next time you are looking at a set of fans to help try the other end of the alphabet.

Re: Disgrace
 

For heaven's sake, you cannot keep serious rain off a football pitch with covers!! It's not like a (6 asterisks) tennis court. You need to roof the stadium as at Cardiff, or erect a tent that covers the whole thing including the stands. Covers work with frost, not rain.

Yes, it probably/possibly should have been postponed earlier. But that is not the club's sole decision. As you have pointed out, there will now have been a six week gap between home games - this is not a disgrace, but it is a potential financial nightmare, new backing notwithstanding.

Re: Disgrace
 

Aye but thats commonsense, somerset won't understand it.:rolleyes:

Re: Disgrace
 

FFS get it posted ASAP, then you don't need to bother coming on here again!

Re: Disgrace
 

As previously noted K itch, this man/woman is merely a nuisance who must be avoided !!...
His tedious interjections then should be ignored by all .

Re: Disgrace
 

Although I agree this game could and should have been cancelled earlier , don't blame the club , they will have been as frustrated as the fans. Now lets get things into perspective , look elsewhere people have their houses flooded etc, etc we lucky we only missing a game!

Re: Disgrace
 

The ref was yon at 11-00, commonsense should have prevailed, but as usual none was used.

Re: Disgrace
 

no other words for it. I could think of a lot but cannot be posted on here. took me 90 mins to get home instead of 45 and never seen as much water on the roads or around the ground also. had a peep through the gates and the far side was flooded. don't know what the refs. thinking was knowing forcasts for rain but I suppose that we are only supporters and we are the last to know things if ever. not a happy monkey to say the least.

Re: Disgrace
 

Having seen the pictures on twitter it's hard to see what the ref was thinking.

Only another half hour and I'll be home. :)

Re: Disgrace
 

I think you should be applauded for your effort,s just to cheer you up after today,s results if and it,s a big if we ever play our 2 games in hand and win by more than 3 clear goals we would be second we can but dream safe journey for the rest of the way,

Re: Disgrace
 

Thank you. I'm sure that there are many Stanley fans throughout the season putting in similar efforts to follow the team accross the country

It's good to see the results went our way as well

Yer being a bit unfair on divvys mate.:D

Re: Disgrace
 

Has Divvy got a mate?:eek:

Re: Disgrace
 

Looking at this photo I can say there's no way the game could be played today

Re: Disgrace
 

Pathetic and foolish !....GO. AWAY. !!!

Re: Disgrace
 

Sorry Alan but this person is obviously a male - he's using absolutely no logic at all & obviously only has room in his brain for one train of thought :rolleyes:

Re: Disgrace
 

You sussed me out again didn't you ?. Forgive me for using this utterly useless thread to get a cheap chauvinistic aside in !!.

Re: Disgrace
 

Re: Disgrace
 

I know how he feels and agree. It's not the first time I've done a near 300 mile round trip for nowt and it won't be the last but that's the way it goes in league 2. I'd say the ref was an - well maybe not - but the club could do nowt else.

Perhaps admin should look at the ban hammer to send the troll back under the bridge :D

Re: Disgrace
 

"Keyboard warrior" is too kind. I prefer the word "troll".

Re: Disgrace
 

I have a better word than that, but children come on here.:D

Re: Disgrace
 

Yes, Cashy, and I suspect with Somerset, however old he is, we've got one.

Re: Disgrace
 

Letter was posted today, hopefully it will be obeyed to

Re: Disgrace
 

Obeyed?? Can I just add 'delusional' to the other descriptions that have been posted on here about you - unbelievable :rolleyes:

Re: Disgrace
 

Hopefully the club officials will take as much notice of you as we all do on here!

Re: Disgrace
 

Come on guys!
The next time this chap posts a Thread just all agree not to respond!
He will soon give up.
He is just a wind up merchant and could even be a fan of a rival club!:cool:

Re: Disgrace
 

I suspect a Yeovil fan.

Re: Disgrace
 

Again useless and pathetic !....will you go away !

Re: Disgrace
 

I suspect he's a Richard Cranium!

Re: Disgrace
 

'Hopefully' you will share the contents of this letter with your most avid fans!

Re: Disgrace
 

Wonder if he's sent one to Oldham Athletic, Fleetwood n Morecambe over the poor state of there rain protection used to cover there pitch's ;)

Re: Disgrace
 

I'm surprised he's 'Pro ' protection as quite clearly his parents didn't subscribe to it....

Re: Disgrace
 

sommerset
I'm sure the club will be pleased to receive your letter along with your cheque for the £5000
for the cover
what a generous fan you are and there was me thinking you might be a troll

Re: Disgrace
 

somerset you are lobby lud and I claim my five pounds.

Re: Disgrace
 

Yes I am a Yeovil fan

Re: Disgrace
 

Well, someone has to be, Somerset, and it might as well be you.

Re: Disgrace
 

So go and infest their website with your pathetic ramblings ..... NOW. !!!.

Re: Disgrace
 

They don't have a forum and I'll be on here again if next home game is off

Re: Disgrace
 

Well read this then

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ice-60456.html

Perhaps admin should as well then we wouldn't have to put up with your drivel

Re: Disgrace
 

See, this is what I don't get - why does it worry you so much if/when we have to call a game off?
Could have understood if you were say, a Hartlepool or Wycombe fan who'd travelled here for nothing - it's not even as if we're due to play your team at the Crown & you were worried that game could fall foul of the weather, if my memory serves me right we've already completed that particular fixture (& collected 3 points from it) :)
Do you go on the forum of any club who have had to postpone a game & witter on about it or is it just Stanley who get the benefit of your ramblings?

Re: Disgrace
 

Yes they do, here's the link,

Welcome to Ciderspace - The Independent Yeovil Town Fans Website

now go bother them!

Re: Disgrace
 

That just demonstrates the intellect of this cretin.:rolleyes:

Re: Disgrace
 

Given his obsessions with rainfall and flooding, I don't suppose the Environment Agency has a website where he'd be better off?

Re: Disgrace
 

Who remembers the brentford game when we spent all morning clearing the pitch of snow for the local referee to say the pitch passed the inspection only for the match referee to call the game off. The 1000 brentford fans were fuming.

Re: Disgrace
 

Somerset's keen interest in our doings brings to mind the old story of the Roses match at Old Trafford when a Home Counties type was watching with keen appreciation - cries of "good shot!" and "well bowled!" making obvious his love of the game.

Eventually, the bloke in front of him turned round .....

"Ist tha fra Lankysheer, mate?"

"Oh no, I'm afraid not."

"So fra Yorksheer?"

"Well, no."

"Then what th'eck's it got to do with thee, then?"


(Possibly not "eck" in the original version :rolleyes:)
