Was it a snow job?

Fans travelling a long way?

This was the basis of the previous discussion- I feel if they know for sure a bad snow event is coming then it makes sense.

The same could be argued for rain too, but the quantity in such a small time might be a bit more difficult to predict.

It was forecast to be windy, one of those named storms, but Sheffield United played at home the same day

What, like win? 😀

With us having Pompey and Posh in April, ideally I wouldn't want us having the distraction of a tiring midweek away trip before we play them.

Yeah, you never no, a win then may be the one that sends us up

I don't think anything will top the peak downpour and dead ball bounce of the zenit game for me. 

But watched on Ifollow tonight and knew within a minute or two it was at risk of getting fucked off. 

Fuck knows when we'll fit all these games in. Tinfoil cunts in the lower league fan groups will be saying it's an EFL ploy to get Bolton back to the championship

Wife's sister got wed there.

Went to the reception and was served pike, salmon and trout terrine.

It was absolutely disgusting, they can't possibly make a pie that would be as bad as that.

Pike is an eating fish ? Every day is a school day .

Baxter's six yard box was sodden at kick off 

Within about two minutes you could see it was unplayable 

How much checking did the ref do then?

At 7.04 the BN said it was pouring down, and gathering a little on the touchline, but not a bad pitch.

At 7.22 it said no problem on the pitch.

Then the ref allows it to start.

Did it look worse depending on the angle or something?

Anyway, done now.

Looked just about playable at KO, but was literally getting worse minute by minute.

Unfortunately, it was the right call to abandon it. IMO.

Ref allowed it to start, and he was on the ground.

It was fine during the warm up, we were training that side of the pitch. Then when they went off the weather worsened. It was a surprise to see how bad it was, in such a short period if time

Had it been pissing down all day there?

Nope, been dry since Sunday. Fine this morning and only started raining lightly at 15:00. Cycled past the ground at about 17:30, light rain, but about 18:00 it really started to come down and never let up. Think they have issues with drainage and been after a new pitch for a while

May have to accommodate Shrewsbury at home in that time too.

Yes, undoubtedly that will be another midweek game.

Can't see Cambridge being anything other than the one free midweek in Feb, no obvious reason to delay it as nothing to say it will be the last postponed game of the season (Northampton?), why waste one.

Anyway you will be glad to know, I battled through the weather and have made it home OK. Can't wait for my refund/free pie to reward my effort 

Well done great effort .
