Its ok saying start, and abandon it later if it gets bad, but that leads to further pitch damage, which may impact future games.

Given the style that IE wants, a mud bath isn't going to help.

We've got a decent sized squad now, so we may he able to cope a bit better than other teams with busy schedule later on.

Promotion juggernaut to start next time round.

Is there a directive to referees to call off if there is any chance at all that the game, if started, could then get abandoned? Son’s girlfriend lives about a mile away from Salford’s ground and he reckons it’s just been light rain but continuous. Not really sufficient to call a game off under normal circumstances.

Happy it’s off, get players bedded in 4 from next 6 at home, get some momentum, think that’ll help us, sneakily fancies us if we can win next 4 home games.

Think you might be right. Every cloud...

Depends upon the state of the pitch beforehand though.

Everywhere is saturated at the moment, the water table must be really high.

Not going to need much more to cause trouble; especially if they haven't spent much on the pitch as has been mentioned previously.

No, was looking forward to seeing what kind of side he picked as much as the game. 

The managers should be forced to announce their intended line up so that we can all pull it pieces and have a heated debate to fill a couple of hours.  I bet we would have had a sub GK.

And Southend away, got to be aiming to win there

IE believes it was right decision.

“But, for me, we’d have been better off tossing a coin on a pitch like that to decide who wins, you couldn’t play football on it. And the conditions were only going to get worse because the forecast is heavy.”
