Breaking News Rochdale game called off due to waterlogged pitch

[LCBB72]

I would loved to know the team that had been picked

Maybe Brown has been doing his gardening at Rochdale that why the pitch is so bad:hilarious::hilarious:

 

[Floval Flyer]

Saturday's are so boring without football, and it's pishing it down so I can't even get out and do some outside DIY jobs I needed to get done:-(

Enjoy.

Be interested to hear what you think of Ipswich.

Client of mine is a season ticket holder and says they aren't playing great of late.

I see Cameron Carter-Vickers is on loan there, at the moment.

20 minutes in and they haven't been in the opposition half!
Sat with the tractor boys hoping to get some atmosphere but it's not really happening :thumbdown:

 

[AndyT]

That's what my client says.

Spend most of their time in their own-half!

 

[Barling Magna]

Down to 19th position at half time, one point above the drop zone.....

Down to 19th position at half time, one point above the drop zone.....

20th now Wimbledon have scored.

 

[LBBlue]

Look on the bright side - it's only the third Saturday that we haven't been beaten since before the clocks went back - and one of them we didn't play either.

 

[Barling Magna]

If MK Dons can equalise at Northampton we'll be in the relegation zone.

 

[Bluegoose]

Most of the PB out and potential Kev and Ricky out may well have lost the will to live. The game was called off, what are they going to do for the next week?

 

[leeblue]

Wake up at 16 00 to this news....Powell out!!

If MK Dons can equalise at Northampton we'll be in the relegation zone.

It didn't happen but wouldn't we still have been outside the relegation zone since Northampton would have dropped below us?

 

[AndyT]

Yep, that's right.

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

Only flashed up on a media check as I was leaving a Rochdale pub at 2pm. Gutted but only 22 miles home. Seems to me that the ref did'nt fancy the mud and that was all it was. No mention of standing water. Cop out !!

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

The only game called off in the football league. Bit of an embarrassment really.

If I was you, I would blame Phil Brown :smile:

I thought we were after Powell?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

To be fair the Ref was on BBC Essex talking to Nick Allicker. He gave the game every chance to be played, but the pitch was waterlogged. He talked about expense, wasted journeys for fans, and Southend coming up by train, and his own wasted journey, he stayed overnight. He also said there was sleet and rain forecast for the afternoon, so he had to call it off. Said he was off to the gym to keep his fitness up.

I can't see any available Saturday's free, so the match will most likely played on a Tuesday night now. I can't imagine we will send many up north in which case.
