    Does anyone agree with me that the postponement of Donny's game against Leeds looked extrememly dodgy? Can't believe that a pitch at a brand new stadium could be frozen solid on Saturday morning. Do they have under soil heating? Anyone heard anything about this?

    No offence

    but I could not give a toss about lower league teams cancelling matches.

    Just sounded like Leeds moaning as Leeds do though...

    Dodgy in what way?

    A referee has to postpone a game, a club can't do it on their own

    Maybe someone forgot to turn on the undersoil heating? Just amazed that the game got postponed that's all.

    Didn't know Leeds were moaning though I had heard that a load of Leeds fans were already in Donny by 9.00am!

    Amazingly

    They built a new stadium and didn't fit undersoil heating. They only covered a small part of the pitch as well (on the edge!!). I must admit when I heard the guy from Donny on the radio about it this morning it crossed my mind but aren't they doing well at the moment? Why would they want to postpone?

    They haven't got undersoil heating

    According to a Donny official on praise or grumble on Setdi they are more trouble than they're worth. He cited the problems Bolton have with theirs as an example. In my opinion he was talking proper ballacks and was trying desperately to excuse the club for not spending a few bob, but that's what he said.
