    Grow up.

    You missed a game of football.

    No one died, no one was injured.

    There was no conspiracy and it wasn't a shambles.

    I love how people think there's some conspiracy!

    The ref calls the game off, not the club.

    Some people are idiots.

    Some believe in conspiracies.

    Most of group A are also in Group B.

    I don't think its a big deal but I think the people who have spent alot of money getting to the game deserve a bit more of an explanation than 'it was a bit cold last night' when we are supposed to have under soil heating, no one expected todays game to be off. If the heating broke down ,just say that

    Only problem I have with it is that the club knew days ago that the heating was broken and had not been fixed, yet they did not tell anyone about this. Then the game is called off at a fairly late time.
    BFC could and should have released a warning that the heating had broken and an inspection would take place, that way everyone is warned beforehand, not when the get to the ground.
    No conspiracy at all, but it does make the club look bad.

    If it looks like bad weather isn't there a series of pitch inspections by the ref in the run up to the game, so it is up to them not the club.

    I don't think the ref will go to the ground before the actual day. They aren't exactly local. The club still should have been letting the fans know what was happening at least from Friday evening.

    Apparently Yes, they tried to fix it few days ago and failed. That is what I was told in the shop. If thats true and I have no reason to disbelieve a BFC employee, then the fans should have been warned, no other problems in my eyes though.

    I've been told that it broke and was fixed a few days ago but that it broke down again last night and at -10 there was little the club could do.

    to get this straight, it was broke, then fixed, then broke again, yes?
    so let the fooking fans know in advance that there is a problem, quite simple. we can make our own judgement as to whether to travel.
    the club is a shambles

    I was well made up that it was called off

    Excellent result.

    Bought a half season ticket, but this was one of two games I couldn't make. Can now!

    Get in!

    they did - pitch inspection at 12.30, was announced on national radio as called off at 12.45.

    Do you not have radio/internet in ryhill?

    I wouldn't expect any less in a game where grown men writhe around in agony at the faintest physical contact. A total embarrassment to themselves and the sport. It is a shame our society venerates them like gods, and showers them with wealth far beyond the dreams of ordinary working people.
