Match Off Tonight

[animallittle3]

Just announced by Exeter City , pitch frozen in parts .

Travelling reds will either be already there or within an hour of Exeter .

Pretty poor do if you ask me .

[POGGYWELL]

Shocking Cheltenham called theirs off at midday.

[Shadrack the Red]

Shocking decision , why could they not have done it in time to prevent our fans travelling , it is the fans who suffer again plus our club who have shelved out for a two day trip with hotel & travel costs for a full squad & staff which is money we can ill afford to pay out & of course this will have to be repeated , Cheltenham had their pitch inspected at 1pm which was called off & saved the wednesday fans from travelling , Exeter have cost our fans & club a fortune & yet they will just say sorry & that will be that, they ought to be answerable .

friends of mine were just passing Bristol when they got news.

A pitch inspection late afternoon is a shameful way to treat away fans travelling all that way.

All round to Michael's place near Cheltenham on the way back for food and drinks.

[Doggydo]

That’s absolutely disgusting. Knowing where the team and fans are traveling from, if the ref can’t make a decision by midday then call somebody in who’s up to the job.
I really feel for all the fans who’s paid good money and probably had to put a days holiday in.

Without reminiscing too much i remember the days when we played regardless of conditions, fog, snow, frozen pitches. If we didn’t get good football we at least got a good laugh.

It is claimed only small areas of the pitch were unplayable.

Hiring a few industrial blow dryers might have sorted it.

[Barnsley Chop]

Pathetic - Just not good enough.

A bet the wo some industrial langue from the 300 and odd hearty souls who travelled. Disgusting.

As I remember it the protocol was to call in a local referee and his decision was accepted in such circumstances .
