It wasn't just down to the snow, which obviously was a contributing factor, but the pitch was waterlogged from the rain over the past few days.
The ball wasn't bouncing an inch at times during the inspection
Farce the club did nothing to get the game on - what snow what rain theres been hardly any of either
Why weren't the covers used? What happened to the usual call for volunteers?
Another shambles, or maybe be we wanted it off
Years and years of this nonsense, when will it ever end?
This almost tops the one where you said Sinnott called the game off as he could not be arsed driving.
Virtually every game in the region is off, why is it only ours that such stuff is being talked about?
I know your not local Ecky put there is no snow in Alty, the little we had this morning didnt even stick and its not been particularly wet or cold
I understand its heavy snow in Heald Green and Wilmslow but its not here for sure
I'm six miles away.
I would imagine the torrential rain on Thursday night has done the damage, and the subsequent freezing and thawing of that rain has caused waterlogging. As dull as that theory is.
You are doing a similar thing now to the Sinnott thing on Facebook groups talking your own team down saying that maybe the manager is scared of Shaw Lane?
We are in superb form but if the manager was scared of Shaw Lane, how do you start that conversation and get the ball rolling in influencing the match referee to call the game off?
Fascinates me....
I don't think we should be calling games off based on what the weather is 6 miles away and feeling justified to do so because other games are off. I also don't think such local games should have pitch inspections at 10am we need to give it a chance of being on. The covers werent even used, the groundsman has confirmed that
What torrential rain on Thursday night? Been none in Alty all week and it hasn't been particularly cold. We don't need to influence referees to call games off we just do nothing to get them on!
And its fact we have a history of soft postponements, sorry if that doesnt sit well with the happy agenda. Incidentaly where have I said PP wanted the match off? I think your reading things in a way to suit your own agenda
I don't think we should be calling games off based on the weather 6 miles away either. That would be odd. We don't call games off though do we, didn't the match referee come and look at it, roll a football about on it and decided it was waterlogged.
Do we have Lancashires CC's covers the moment? i haven't seen them this season..
Nothing happy about today, was looking forward to a decent game.
Your comment was made on facebook on the NPL group, again that would be another thing that would be odd to invent:
It said:
"Another shambles, or maybe be we wanted it off. PP scared of Shaw Lane"
Not sure how many ways you can read that really or what my agenda is.
