Game off

[YES Blade]

The times of fixtures are a fkin joke - why are these games 12.00 anyway - I thought these early matches were just to avoid crowd trouble ffs ... EFL and the TV etc just disregard what the supporters have to go through to attend these games - useless c%nts

FFS! You can’t blame Sky for this one!

 

[MadDad38]

Just driven across and none of my family thought to ring me

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Pigeons froze to pitch apparently.
Bloody elf and safety eh?

Pigeons have been attacking Elves? Ffs

Epitomises how badly the club had been run for many years. An ex Prem club should not have this issue.

If there was an area of concern that the club knew about, there will have been preparations that could have been made for that spot.

We also should have made fans aware much earlier - even if it was letting them know about a scheduled inspection.

Hull City game is still on and the weather has been much worse on the east coast.

Met office shows the Sheffield City Centre temp as -3 in the early hours, -7 with the windchill, the only thing in question is... Was the undersoil heating on & fully working? If not- why not?

Think its more of kick off time adjusted as it was supposed to be on sky sports plus

So what? We should still be able to get the match on regardless of kick off time.

I agree to an extent. If the game was a 3pm kick off, as traditionally would have been, more chance of game going ahead maybe.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Must be very annoying! (I predict he'd have spelt Bramall Lane wrong).

Even the dozen or so who got on the 10:05 train with me at Alfreton didn’t know…and that’s only half hour away. So this must have caught hell of a lot of people out…At that late stage it might have been better to delay the kickoff by a couple of hours…Now it looks like a night match in prospect.

Ghet a presha wosha front Argos plug it int 'ot tap and sort it aaaht

I understand it’s -7 in Hillsborough today.

 

[Boothy762]

Im not a fan of these new owners based on what happened this summer, but how is anyone putting the blame on COH for this?

 

[Gimli]

Bdtbl my bum hole looks so crap plus lose the sky money

What you looking at your bum hole for?

Have you been to your doctor's about it?

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Oh for the days when we shovelled the snow off the pitch and kept the braziers stocked up overnight for a free ticket.

 

[Russtheblade]

I’m annoyed as had a ticket with my dad but more baffled than anything. We’re at Norton Lees and it’s clear as day, not even frost on the cars and we usually get it worse than town.

I can understand if the heatings bust, but it doesn’t appear to have been a heavy frost in S8, a mere ten minutes from S2.

Go in the garden & try to make an impression on the lawn with your heel,it's bone hard, the question is ,was the undersoil heating on ?

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Don’t feel sorry for the Oxford fans. They’ve got a steady few hours of boozing ahead of them.

Reminds me of Peterborough and Leyton Orient away 15 years ish ago, both called off just after I’d arrived.

Also seeing heavy use of the word “Tinpot”. Possibly the most annoying phrase in football after “bang average” and “baller”.

And ‘top top player’

He's in skeggy so it is usually better to look at your own rusty bullethole than that shithouse

The official SUFC statement says the undersoil heating was used.

So obvious questions.
1: How can the pitch be frozen if under soil heating is switched on?
2: Apparently it was only a small section of the pitch that was frozen. Why? Did those parts have functioning undersoil heating?
3: Last night temperatures dropped to minus 3…..very cold but nothing particularly rare.
So if we have sub zero temperatures in future….could other matches also be postponed?
4: Are we in danger of having a fixture pile up during our potential promotion run in and what is the club doing about it?

It’s so unprofessional and embarrassing by SUFC.

 

[metalblade]

I think Mr Chansiri pulled the same trick when he ran out of money

 

[calcalcal]

Just heard from a fella who knows one of the grounds staff...

Pitch itself fine
Technical area and touchline area was the issue so off of the pitch itself

Again only what I was told not gospel

 

[skegblade]

Have you been to your doctor's about it?

Cant get an appointment ,

 

[unitedbhoy]

Completely feel for those supporters. We’d be livid if it was the other way round.

 

[Greg.]

Yorkshire!

I wouldn’t worry too much about question 4 tbh.

[Melbourne Blade]

They both called us "Sheffield" so not feeling sorry them at all. Hope they freeze on the way home

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Brum pitch looks worse than ours, frost all over it.
