Laughable and inexcusable. Everybody could see the forecasts

Real shame for us because we were in good shape for this one and likely to win

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Can all those saying undersoil heating wasnt on prove it wasn't?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Selles had the pitch widened at the start of the season, my guess is the under soil heating doesn’t stretch to the touch lines now.

I love that this is Selles' fault, the bastard!!!

 

[Sheffsteel]

Unacceptable really. We have under pitch heating and it was hardly Siberian conditions last night. Just fucks up thr best laid plans of thousands.

Agree….does this mean that every time the weather is around zero degrees…..we risk having our home matches postponed?
We now risk having a fixture pile up during a promotion run in.

 

[SwissBlade]

I heard COH were buying electricity for the wider bits of the pitch from Maduro. Turns out the US switched our pitch off as well. Ffs thanks Trump

If it’s a problem that needs the pitch to be dug up in order to fix it, then possibly…

Promotion run in

 

[JohnDenver]

Promotion run in

He didn’t say ours….

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Financial problems might be even worse than we think.
If it’s not that it’s incredibly unprofessional to undersoil heating

 

[United Aren't Back.]

.

 

[Bladedog]

Imagine wider will be livid after us building a up a bit of momentum.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Just had a pop up from SSN saying match postponed.
Thought we had underground heating? Somebody forgot to turn it

 

[ATL Recs]

Absolutely brilliant decision by Widler to turn off the heating. Hope he never gets found out.

Sunday Carvery back on though clever bloke

 

[tincan]

So all the new signings will now have more time....

 

[SwissBlade]

Post on insta said parts of the pitch frozen. Begs the question whether the undersoil heating isn't working, it wasn’t turned on or the selles theory of the wider pitch which would be a crazy cock up

Either way it’s a bit of a bollock dropped

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[UddersBlade]

Another fine from EFL incoming!!!

Plus them poor buggers who have travelled today will have to fork out for a midweek night match…. So embarrassing by us.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Just driven up from Market Harborough. Great drive up, blue skies, sunny. Thought of postponement never entered my head, we have under soil heating.

Anyone know who at Utd I should send my invoice to for the fuel money? And the refund of the ticket money for the midweek rearranged game I won't be able to get to.

Calling off as late as this with no adverse weather conditions is a f@@king disgrace

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Thats beyond belief
Was just laughing at Rotherham for being tinpot too
Joke

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

My guess is it's a malfunction if only parts of pitch are still frozen?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[GlosBlade]

Just arrived after 125 mile journey from Gloucestershire. Fuming that the game is off.

 

[Oohaah! Bob Bookah!]

The referee? He’s the one who called it off

 

[Blade56]

F*****************************K, not paid leky bill again?

 

[Loco Blade]

No issues here in Singapore . 30 degrees

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[Foxy]

No issues here in Singapore . 30 degrees

Why don't they do the sensible thing and just play the match there?

 

[Blade56]

I love that this is Selles' fault, the bastard!!!

Sellés aaaarrrrggggghhhttttttttt…….

Oh, ‘ang on

Wilder aaarrrrggghhhhhhttttttt

 

[Kenilworth]

Two hour drive and just learned it’s off as we parked near the Cremorne

 

[Harry's Game]

I was initially joking but looking at this…
