    And if they’d waited 3 hours it would have also been playable.

    Boom, a day watching the racing instead.

    Thankfully, Walsall progressed in the fa cup so I can go for the Racing Post Chase Day at Doncaster next Saturday. Oh and I get to use my new gloves @Steve1970@Steve1970

    I have no idea on timing but it’s the officials who make it for sure.

    Communication is the key the only thing the club said was there is an inspection at 12oclock. They could have said at the moment the pitch is unplayable but hopefully by the inspection it will be ok. There is no way I was leaving it till 12 before setting off. But you live and learn no way will we set off again when there is a pitch inspection

    Mild winter? There hasn't been much snow, granted, but we've had temperatures at or near freezing quite a lot of the time.

    There are so far ahead of 4th place they can afford quite a few blips.

    I genuinely thought Stevenage's wheels had have come off by now. Fair play to Steve Evans, they are going from strength to strength and likely winners of the title now. He sure knows how to get clubs promoted out of this league

    From where I live in Keighley I can see right down the Aire Valley to Shipley and it has been shrouded in thick fog all day. Assuming it extended to VP what makes you so sure the frozen areas of the pitch would have thawed given there was no sunlight getting to the pitch and the air temperature was around +3 c

    You can never really tell for sure from 1 image as you can't see the frost under the ground, also they are going to pick a picture from the part of the pitch which is playable rather than the area that the referee had concerns over. Don't see what it's going to achieve as the referee will say it wasn't playable and Barrow will say it was, whoever looks at the complaint won't have a clue if it's playable or not as they weren't there. Seems to me like a club trying to avoid blame and avoid paying the costs for Salford.

    Success is more than promotions. I think he’s been promoted with Boston and Crawley in Conference, and Rotherham in the League, but he did well enough at other clubs to earn the right to manage Leeds and have another stint at Peterborough. He surpassed expectations at Gills too.

    yes, he’s an odious character, but he does a good job wherever he manages when weighted against expectation.

    we expect promotion here. He would 100% have delivered it. Not gonna win prizes for longevity but we’d have gone up automatically under him with our budgets.

    it’s touch and go if we make playoffs under Sparky, under whom, it has to be said, we are underperforming.

    If your pitch isn't fit for playing a game, don't let it go to waste. Train on it instead

    3 games postponed for weather.
    1 postponed for Queen dying.
    2 moved because World Cup was on.
    2 postponed due to FA Cup
    1 moved for King coronation.
    1 moved for TV

    oh and several moved on police advice

    just not acceptable, why bother with a fixture list

    Can’t believe I’m watching a professional outdoor sport being played in such conditions in the most litigious country in the world. Buffalo Bills v Cincinnati Bungles.

    Lifelong Bristol City fan Steve Lansdown owns the club and provided most of the finance to rebuild Ashton Gate and the redevelopment of the area. He also owns Bristol Bears and Bristol Flyers, a basketball team.

    He is a sports nut and seriously wealthy having made his money in financial services.



    ps It cost him nearly £27m to underwrite BC's losses last season!
