    Tbf it’s just Derby kids, I fully expected Chorley to win their wins over Wigan and Peterborough were far more impressive. Just shows how important it is for kids to get men’s football instead of sat in academies until early 20’s, ala Jamie Vardy.

    It was a Derby Side entirely comprised of youth players after they had a major covid outbreak this week. I don't even think the management team were there, and their training ground has been closed in recent days so they won't have had any opportunity to prepare.

    The bigger problem is the youth sides haven't played a match since before Xmas and they also haven't generally been allowed into the training grounds since this year unless they were called up to train with the first team

    Chorley got their game on by using covers and blowers. Shame on Scunny for being so lax about this.

    Morecombe play Chelsea tomorrow in the FA Cup. Not sure they'd be up for playing again on Tuesday.

    If you have a little read up on Scunthorpe they currently have a load of injuries, with the majority due to return later this month. You can't help but think that they did nothing to get this game on. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure we're always awful after we have had a break like this, really bad for us this I feel.

    The pitch has never seen a cover overnight everyone in the world knew it was going to freeze last night.
    I'll go one further and say that they have done their best to ensure the game is called off absolutely tin pot everyone knew it was going to freeze last night. Injuries, poor form and players coming in not up to speed nothing can be done now but the FA should be questioning what they have done to ensure the game goes ahead.

    Salford also off for a frozen pitch - guess they had money available, huh, Mr Lim?

    Are you suggesting they only put the covers on this morning?

    Play on Wednesday then. Its going to be a midweek game anyway and it shouldn't be down to whenever Morecambe fancy playing. We are still 4/5 games behind where we should be in a normal season and Morecambe have played 1 fewer than us too. It is likely that there will be a few more postponements before the end of the season so every team should be making use of the nearest free mid-week to catch up on games or the season will not finish in time

    I'd think its good money, or should I say it should be sat on the same panel as Sutton.

    Perhaps a ‘stock’ photograph? Taken some time ago? I think we need to get heavily into ‘conspiracy theory’ and indeed practice.
    Where is the copy of todays ‘Times’! ;)

    The FA aske questions when a game is off. You have to show what you have done to get the game on.

    Currently watching lincoln highlights at home. Very sunny and people out in the gardens. This game was called off prematurely with very little protest from scunthorpe i expect.

    Valid for rearranged fixture I believe.

    All iFollow video match passes purchased ahead of this afternoon's encounter will be stored on supporters' online accounts - and automatically valid for the rearranged fixture.
