Looks like Quakerz was right when he said it was doomed.

Part in front of the main stand was the problem

Ffs!!!
Re: Please let it be on!
Really shocked. Hard in places with 2 hours to go. If anyone is around at 3 I'd be interested to know how it is looking.
Re: Please let it be on!
Just been really unlucky that the temp dipped so low last night. Probably the coldest night of the winter. Now there is a storm with a deluge on the way for overnight and waterlogging will be the problem for Saturday.
Re: Please let it be on!
It'll look exactly the same without any work taking place on it. It's too much to ask teams to travel in the hope that it might be better at 3pm anyway.lo36789 wrote:Really shocked. Hard in places with 2 hours to go. If anyone is around at 3 I'd be interested to know how it is looking.

Re: Please let it be on!
Ah well. Let's just make sure our south stand doesn't have a high roof!
Re: Please let it be on!
From past experience anything under shade is always the issue. Was when we had the snow last season. Majority of the pitch was playable but the bit in front of the main stand was always dodgy. Gutted for everyone's efforts, they gave it a chance, we've just been unlucky.
Like Hilly says you can't wait around until 3pm. You have to make a decision at some point for the travelling opposition and fans. To be perfectly honest I think the late decision would have affected the crowd, a lot of people will be slumped in front of the TV now with a run of games on Sky.
Disappointed.

Re: Please let it be on!
A real shame as it would have brought much needed revenue into the club.

Re: Please let it be on!
What a shame after all the hard work done by supporters. Would have been a big crowd with the extra revenue more than welcome. Will have to hope for the best on Saturday after all the rain forecast tonight and Friday.

Up to you really, I'm doing the same and with it being 20 quid will probably bung it in the back to Darlo fund.lo36789 wrote:Well might as well start it off.

That's a bit s*** then. Not only will the match be off we'll have to pay for their expenses.micra3 wrote:Wakefield had arrived before the match was called off.Hilly wrote:It'll look exactly the same without any work taking place on it.

Re: Please let it be on!
When I got there at 9 this morning I wouldn't have given it a prayer of being on, but to be honest it really wasn't far off being fit for purpose by the time the ref arrived, she just said that she couldn't take the risk which to be honest was fair enough. The players were warming up on it and falling all over the place.darlostu wrote:What a shame after all the hard work done by supporters.

Just keep our fingers crossed that the rain misses HP tomorrow and we get a game n Saturday.
Re: Please let it be on!
Ideally it needs to go into immediate cash flow in my book. After all that is what we have lost out on from the game being off.
I am just going to give it to my parents to hand over as a donation next time they are at the club. Hopefully if a number of us do this it will soften the losses for the day.

No the ref was called Rebecca I believe, from Sunderland way.

Since the club will have had expenses today, it would be best in the club general fundlo36789 wrote:Well might as well start it off.

I will be donating directly to Laura effectively and she can decide how to account for it haha.TS3 wrote:Since the club will have had expenses today, it would be best in the club general fund
The club should actually do better out of me as a result anyway. Taking into account VAT, prize money and money that wasn't destined for the club (trust bus) I am paying in £20 rather than £9.46!

Re: Please let it be on!
Wakefield didn't have a coach that I could see. It looked like they were in cars to me.
