    Yeah let's be honest, who wants to sit in a piss wet through seat in rain and snow to watch the pitch cut to ribbons? Didn't miss it today at all.

    Just 2 points separate 9th from 17th. There's a whole host of mediocre teams in amongst that are probably thinking the same thing.

    It would likely have been an awful match as well.

    Quite a dull day in league 2 all round. 7 games with 11 goals and 5 of them came in 1 game, 12 in 8 if you include last nights game as well. ITV will be able to do the league 2 highlights in 5 minutes.

    You won't be saying that on a cold wet February evening, wishing this game had gone ahead.

    Sometimes in life, going to watch football in the freezing cold, with it throwing it down, soaked before arriving, slippery underfoot, then sat around for a couple of hours, seems wholly uninviting. Today was certainly one of those days.

    To be fair yes haha just watching them getting beat again!

    Crazy how sides become so clinical when you're off form!

    Bloody hell! Ref called the game off and some are having a hissy fit! It's not as if the game will never be played. Games get postponed whether tinpot or not!

    Mate don’t get your knickers in a twist. Salford fans would never have to question their owners about investment because they’ve been bankrolled beyond their wildest dreams since their days in the lower leagues. They aren’t drip fed bullshit like we are

    Just saying

    If the conditions are similar to today, on a Tuesday night in February, no one will be going as it will be cancelled again. ;)

    Looks like Peter Lim has got bored so we will see if the investment continues now he has walked away and Gary Neville is the majority owner.

    Certainly agree with that. On several occasions last season we arrived in Bradford with no match. Whilst I see for most local people a lunchtime time inspection makes sense. Many supporters like myself travel and 10.30 was appreciated

    You have a significant journey. With traffic, probably the best part of two hours, and that is just the driving bit. I guess you must set off before noon. For me it is a shorter journey, but with meeting up with friends, then I tend to be setting off around 12.30. A 2.00pm pitch inspection is useless.

    We usually arrive early to park on midland road for a quick getaway. Glad today was postponed because driving conditions around here and in the Vale of York were horrendous

    I park between Thornton and Sunbridge Road, a longer walk, but as I travel back, west over the M62, it is easier access. I meet several friends in a pub before the match, we have a couple of beers beforehand, a chance to catch up and something to ease what can be a difficult watch. For me it is short of a 60 mile round trip. You put in far more miles. :thumbup:

    I accept critiscm of the club like the next fan. WHEN ITS WARRANTED , however let’s be clear I won’t accept your somewhat broken record agenda..which is … Just blame anything and everything on the club no matter what it is, now to include a storm hitting the UK. It’s quite boring, especially when in this instance it’s totally unrelated .

    It’s pretty diabolical weather all over the Uk , as a result the game was called off BY THE EFL APPOINTED OFFICIAL, not BCAFC . get over it .

    A football game was called off due to terrible weather …..shock.

    Neville has already stated he’s looking for more investment.

    Rupp says nothing and does nothing.
