The Voice - Match preview Bradford City vs Doncaster Rovers Saturday 20th January 3:00pm - POSTPONED

TBF to @Petrov it's a video they posted and if you wait just 5 seconds in you will see why it's very relevant to the subject matter.

 

I tried to help you Kev, but if you want to keep making yourself look stupid, carry on.

 

Remember the Arsenal game,frost all over the pitch,but perfectly playable.Never been as cold at a football match as i was that night.

 

No hot water in the toilets though. Just saying

 

For anybody that does Facebook (i don’t but my wife does) there is a video by Mick Doyle on the city FB page this morning that shows the pitch after the covers were left off to let a bit of the warmer air on to it.

It’s quite enlightening.

 

Transparency is the solution for most conspiracies.

 

And it only takes a few days for your tent to do that. Good point.

 

#sowhat. Water is water.

 

A link to the video (should work even if you don't have Facebook) https://fb.watch/pHqxkjGVKH/

It's a good, quick video which shows the pitch was still frozen this morning especially around the TL Dallas stand and Mick confirms that the TL Dallas is the issue area as the stand blocks out the sun. He also mentions that the lack of grass on the pitch is due to the Liverpool U21 game as the grass was getting frosty which kills the grass when people walk on it.
There is also a video on Mansfield's Facebook which explains about the temperatures and how the air temperature can be misleading as the temperature on the ground is often lower and even lower under the soil so a 4 degrees air temperature won't make a big difference to thawing the pitch.

 

Folk moaning about it not being on should really view how bad the ground still is today

 

With heavy rain forecast for between now and Tuesday the Salford game must be in danger

 

Amazing that the two big stands aint the issue but its the smallest of the lot which you really csnt getvaway with

 

Still won’t stop all the amateur Alan Titchmarsh’s who think they know more than a professional groundsman.

 

They won’t though.
I’m no club apologist but that was a definite eye opener and hopefully will stop all the idiotic T & A and FB comments about how amateurish the club is.

 

For anyone who doesn't use Facebook, here is the video that Mick Doyle did. But I know how society work these days, he probably filmed it some time ago and it's all a conspiracy or summat. But hey I guess all the amateur groundsmen on here and social media know better than the guy who has done the pitch for years.....

 

Need him to be holding a copy of Todays T & A to prove its todays date.
Like hostages do.

 

Superb. This really proves the point that referrees (who will have consulted mick doyle) know more about a pitch being playable that the average moaning fan who is peed off at his Saturday being disrupted.

 

That's the other guy.
