The amount of umbrage on here is ridiculous

    Tbf though, your reasons for being happy with the decision, don't justify it. I'm not really bothered, but it is starting to look like the Club have not done enough to get the game on. And I think that's wrong

    Ben has just stated that the conditions tonight has been taken into account and they only felt it fair to make an early decision based on the pitch. It was felt that by kick off the pitch will be frozen. The underground heating doesn't sound like it is capable of dealing with temperatures as low as expected.

    I'm happy it's off.

    I couldn't go tonight, but I might get to the re-scheduled game. Hopefully, we'll be in better form, with our injured and out-of-sorts players raring to go, and some new players, too. It works for me.

    However, I suspect that the game would've gone ahead had we been top of the table. It's a convenient excuse.

    Of course what we should have done is say it's on, let everyone travel and then call it off 10 minutes before kick off! Some people on here really need to get a ******* grip.

    Maybe you're just easily disappointed?

    Listened to Ben Mansford. Ref called it off due to likely condition of pitch at game time. Not sure what the problem is?

    So you think conditions were playable at 12, but wouldn't be at kick off?
