[MATCH OFF] Weather threat to Burton game

[Bladesman]

Pathetic.

Ours is the only Championship match postponed!

I think we called it too early.

 

[LJBlade]

Nobody moans about the numbers, just the atmosphere they generate.

I know

 

[Maidenhead]

Probably with her back vanishing over the horizon on the way to her girlfriend.

She's engaged to Johnny I'Anson

 

[TJB.]

Can't wait for the Football League investigation and points deduction .

That reminds me. Wednesday's accounts are due out today, are they not?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I think we called it too early.

I think CW might have dropped a hint that a rest before Fulham would be a good thing.

Pure speculation on my part by the way.

 

[Benny and the Blades]

I just hope shop's are shut an all.......

 

[Maidenhead]

That reminds me. Wednesday's accounts are due out today, are they not?

Operating loss of over £20m. to add to a £9m loss the year before.

 

[Kop Cat]

Absolutely gutted, family had paid for a V.I.P. day for my birthday, shit shit shit.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I think we called it too early.

Hmmmm - not so sure

FFS,,,,I remember an fa cup tie v villa on tv one Sunday 1996 ish the weather that day was unreal no way is it going to be as bad as that day...
This country is fucked now,,we let weather just win..
Clear what we can and lob down a shit load of grit, get wrapped up and get to the game,sadly that don’t seem to be the case these days

It’s all this health and safety bollocks coupled with the claim if you can society of today, it’s a complete and utter shambles.

Atleast we’ll get some more players back to full fitness.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Forest at home on the 17th?

 

[Kop Cat]

Bet its rearranged for 24th March, I am away then too.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Fact.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Swings and Roundabouts IMO.

Would have been good to apply some pressure and get a win against a struggling side. But on the plus side Fulham will have a tough away match against Derby who will be looking to get back on track.

Bit of extra rest to hopefully get the likes of brooks / Wilson and Clarke and Blackman back fit and firing wouldn't be the end of the world.

Was that the one when Villa got a pen at Kop end and we snowballed Dwight Yorke? he still scored though

 

[corkysbeard]

Fact.

It's a load of bollocks,how come boxing is going ahead at arena on Saturday night? Why hasn't that been called off?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

There's already a 10 page thread on it.

 

[Bath Blade]

Bet its rearranged for 24th March, I am away then too.

That’s an international weekend so don’t think they can rearrange for then.

 

[davidblade]

Bad news was hoping it was going to -21 on Saturday night, gutted

 

[Ricky]

The only positive is we'll be fresher for Fulham. That's it.

It'll cause unwanted fixture congestion and midweek games are often more unpredictable.

I hope it's rearranged for Tuesday 13th March between Ipswich away and Forest at home.

 

[HoodedClaw]

Fingers crossed the train I've got tickets for is cancelled so I can get my £130 refund, going to be doubly fucking pissed off if it isn't

I fear how fucking spineless this country is becoming.

 

[bromtom]

Pathetic.

So far, could change. We've gone early.

 

[cooperblade]

I hope it's rearranged for Tuesday 13th March between Ipswich away and Forest at home.

I hope it's not, I'm at Cheltenham...

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Never in doubt that it’d be off, for me. Optimists either hadn’t been checking the forecast, or underestimated the risk-aversion crippling our culture.

 

[Minty]

Well from a selfish point of view it's great news for me as I have to work most Saturdays but can make midweek games, so I'm chuffed to bits! Sorry!

 

[Cassius Kray]

Was that the one when Villa got a pen at Kop end and we snowballed Dwight Yorke? he still scored though

Yep, although my memory is of snowballing that cheating git Milosovic who dived for the pen. Yorke scored with a cheeky chip down the middle and as annoying as the penalty decision was I respected the finish. Pretty sure it was the 4th round after we'd beaten Arsenal in the 3rd.

Never a penalty



Also, far less snow about then I remember.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Really does make you wonder how this country won 2 world wars with the pathetic response to this snow.

Think the Russians (& Americans) had summat to do wi' 2nd un - both canny folk when it comes to white stuff

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

4 consecutive away games,, struggling to see the benefit

as someone else has 'said' - Forest on 17th & from cursory examination the (only) realistic reschedule for Burton is 13th ?
