Game off

[Slim Man]

Due to a frozen pitch.

What the fuck have we been doing with our undersoil heating all night? How incredibly tinpot and pathetic

Penny pinching United at it again.

Least we won't have to endure the cold!

 

[YES Blade]

We’re bang in form and we can’t get the match on

 

[Slim Man]

We’re bang in form and we can’t get the match on

How as a championship club do you not get a match on due to a frozen pitch?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

That's pretty poor with modern under soil heating

 

[YES Blade]

How as a championship club do you not get a match on due to a frozen pitch?

Exactly, I could understand us “forgetting” to turn it on if we had a load of injuries and it suited us to not play, but this being postponed doesn’t help us at all.

Well this is embarrassing

How the fuck are we getting frozen pitch postponements - it's 2026

I did a double take, could understand it being postponed at Oxford.

Very tinpot

 

[Slim Man]

It's literally very embarrassing.

 

[WorcBlade]

Method in the madness. Players are knackerd and possibly injured after a tight Christmas program Strategic postponement is my guess

 

[SteveBlade]

Pathetic stuff.

[Robby Blade]

Fuckin tinpot. Imagine the piss take if that lot had done the same.

Do you not think it makes more sense to play a struggle Oxford side now and keep the momentum going?

We can rest players next week in the cup.

If we haven't got enough to beat Oxford baring in mind it's the FA cup next week then I despair

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

All the South Yorkshire games are postponed and then you have to go down to league 2 to see another postponement.

 

[YES Blade]

Leeds is still on, surely if they can get the pitch ready, so can we

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

No chance we’ve done everything we can to get this played. Understand the fixture pileup, but surely Oxford will be in a worse state than us.

Bit pathetic really, and utterly disrespectful to those who arrange their weekend around attending

 

[unitedbhoy]

Pathetic United

 

[CaptainMorgans]

It's very tinpot.

 

[Dkc]

We need a better explaination. How could the pitch frozen when we have undersoil heating?

Loads of people will have already set off, bought non-refundable train tickets etc

 

[Blademan89]

Clearly dont fancy playing the game for what ever reason, shame considering we in form.

And to call it so late as well, Oxford fans must be raging.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

Erm... its not even bad. I don't get it. I was on my way walking down to the Lane ffs just got the message.

Pathetic United.

It was a stupid kick off time anyway. Why were we even playing on a Sunday anyway?

It wasnt turned on or turned on properly. It will have been put on a timer to come on for an hour in early hours (where electric is cheaper) and then just used cover for pitch.

Either we trying to save money, its malfunctioned or we just dont want to play the game so manipulated it to not fully defrost the pitch.

Only us then … even more tinpot

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Should have tried the heating system earlier in the week to see if everything was OK.
Maybe we just ran out of 50ps for the meter !!!.

 

[BackPocket]

For those saying it’s a ‘planned’ postponement because of the build up of games, CW is fuming. If it is planned, it’s not by the playing management.

 

[ForgeBlade]

If it's "tactical" the club and whoever made the decision should be ashamed. Hundreds of Oxford fans hugely out of pocket on travel costs. Plus we've just been taking the piss out of Wednesday for not managing their squad properly and begging for emergency signings....not a good look for us if we then "accidentally" get a game called off cos some professional athletes are a bit tired.

All part of the wider conspiracy - he's just making it look more realistic, they've already ordered snow so Mansfield gets called, we'll never play again, trying to save money on appearance bonuses.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Was the match only called off because it been a 12noon KO thanks to SKY Sports. Had it been a normal 3pm KO as there would of been more time for the pitch to thaw the match probable would of gone ahead.

 

[Montymagic]

FFS

I've just got into bloody town.

Doh!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

When was the last time we had a game frozen off at home?

I can remember Reading away where it was minus 5 in the daytime and it still went ahead so I can't see why a ground with under soil heating fails
