I can understand the authorities trying to leave it as long as possible as obviously nobody wants a game being postponed. It’s frustrating as we are in good form at the moment as well so the more games we play the more momentum we can build.
However having said that there really does need to be more consideration for the fans, particularly the away fans and where they have to travel from, especially at the level we are playing at as well. In this case 130 miles across the A50 and up the M6 in rush hour is going to take three hours?
To postpone a midweek game two hours before kick off is far too late in the day. I presume the team coach, supporters coaches may have left Nottingham as well?
A more sensible approach would have been to conduct an inspection at 3:30pm or 4pm and checked the forecast. If more rain was forecast then they should have just called it off. If it was going to be dry but the pitch was waterlogged and there was no chance it would drain away in time then call it off.
I really do feel for those fans that decided to travel. Especially on a windy wet January Tuesday night. Let’s hope we can get a win when it’s rearranged for them.
