    Feel really sorry for the team and officials who were on their way for the THIRD time - I wonder how far they got? Pretty poor all round isn't it, from both sides. Our official site has nothing regarding a postponement. I asked if the ground was still waterlogged (unlikely) and the answer was "no, it's just in a poor state".

    To be fair there has been considerable flooding on that side of Thame for weeks so I can't understand why the venue hasn't been switched by now. The Kassam in Oxford, or even switch it to Oakwell - they can't go on postponing it indefinitely can they?

    yeah you would think in this day and age inspections should be carried out before the away team starts to travel

    Well, as I said further down, Thame are a long way down the football pyramid so it's just asking for trouble trying to get a game on at this time of year. They just don't have the sophisticated drainage and pitch maintenance that big clubs like Barnsley have :D Tie has to be moved surely

    That pitch looks awful - can we blame Don Rowing for this?
