    Lincoln didn't do that, the EFL did. From the Sky money there is a pot of money put aside to pay for heated tunnel for any game that is on Sky. We had had a game on Sky last season and before it we had a heated tunnel on a pitch.

    Why is it poor
    It’s at their stadium and they are entitled to it
    Bloody cheeky Exeter even asking in my opinion
    Begging bowl and if say it’s £100k, that could get them a player they would not have been able to sign
    Man city can afford it of course and if they had offered it then fair enough

    Yes and the Cardiff game next week would have the same option if required

    If we really really wanted it on, the hot air blowers and pitch tent would could have been brought in, at a cost, to guarantee it.
    My feeling is a week off before Cardiff, Town and Lincoln, this postponement is welcomed by the management and medical teams.

    Paul Hudson gets about 90% of the podcast wrong. His opinions on the game absolutely stink the place out most of the time and luckily it's balanced by the excellent Mark Bower and Jamie Raynor adding some professionalism and knowledgeable views.

    What a great way now to remember Terry Yorath next week home to Cardiff on Sky

    Running with the negative “ifs”…
    If Cardiff win today, we’re 8pts behind
    If Cardiff beat us next week, we’re 11pts behind

    However, if Cardiff lose today and we’d played and won, we’d be going top next week if we beat them.

    That’s my rationale for wanting to play today - points on the board, not games in hand.

    I guess you live in the BD1-17 area? A lot of supporters travel significant distances to get to VP. Some had already set off. Do you really think it is smart to have potentially 17,000+ people set off, only to find that the game is cancelled at 1.00pm? Seems very self centred to me. I applaud the officials for cancelling it at 11.00 am.

    That’s my feeling too, so almost a selective postponement? Get in the refs ear etc….

    Just what happens these days in the FA Cup. Doesn't matter if a L1/L2 club goes to Bournemouth or Man United for an away tie, they ask for the ticket money and it seems 99% of the asks are accepted because it's pennies to a PL side compared to the squads weekly wage bill for most lower league clubs.

    Good faith action, paying back down the pyramids when the City types just dont need that exampled 100k.

    Do two wrongs make a right!! Is that your only flimsy point?

    The call was right to review it early, at 11.00 am, postpone to save thousands travelling. If you have no ability to empathise with others……

    Feel sorry for the poster who was already on the train from London and also the poster who was flying in.

    Exactly mine too.
    Every season during a spate of postponements our following run of games tends to be poor. We really needed this game on and the club didn’t do enough to ensure it in my opinion.
    Comes across as a bit tinpot that a club with aspirations of reaching the Championship has so many home games called off during the winter when other local clubs and even non league clubs can get their games on. Poor

    Maybe we should have called it off last week to prevent that.
