I feel sorry for those that have booked hotels and travel. It's shocking because it's been cold all week. We haven't just woke up to it. A decision should have been made sooner. There will be fans that have set off early because it's a trek.
Frustrating especially as we’re on a bit of a roll but what do you want Oxford to have done if they have no undersoil heating?
What a pathetic situation. It should have been called off yesterday before the team had set off to the team hotel. Anyone with a brain could see it wouldn't be going ahead. They could see the forecast today and see it wasn't going to warm up. Why did they wait until fans had already woke up and in some cases set off to the match?
In the old days they used to be about 2 foot of straw chucked onto the pitch. That would be cleared to the sidelines before kick off where it made a nice soft landing for any player charging towards the perimeter wall.
Yes, at -5 it takes longer to thaw than _2 , also thay had covers on so -2 they might have got away with it but we are all wiser after the event , I just feel sorry for the reds fans who have set off & sorry for our club who will have stumped up a lot of cash for nothing .
