What a sickener Burnleys game called off with only 3 minites to kick off

3 minites to 3 and they have decided to call the reading Burnley game off.Feel sorry for the Clarets fans that have made that journey south.

Yeh & one burnley fan we know made the journey down & looking on pitch he said was puddled & still heavy rain, tho nobody confirmed it despite the obvious, least i got to hear the reading announcement direct o'er phone, after trying to find out via me if it was confirmed elsewhere, lets say the rapture of BOO's after the late announcement said it all!!

Lets say it wasn't great of Reading to leave it late like that - lets hope they do re-imburse the fans especially away ones or something

Erm not amused is an understatement!

Got back about 9pm.

Not only was the match called off but then when we got to Wolverhampton there were problems with the overhead cables on the West Coast Mainline so we had to get and be bussed up to Staffford to continue the journey. As we got off the train at Wolverhampton the Oldham & Wolves fans were fighting in the concourse area. Of course the Oldham fans were catching the same train as us !!

Who'd be a footie fan eh ?

Remind me to be sympathetic with all non-clarets when matches are abandoned

You could either keep the ticket for the rematch or get a refund. Rematch is tomorrow night so lots of people will have got refunds. No way can I get to Reading for a night match with a 10yr old unless it's school holidays.

Yes Doug but you would have watched the football first and then asked for your money back

tadah · 08-01-2007, 20:31
