Match Thread Home Versus Crawley Saturday 16th January- MATCH POSTPONED

The club have panicked about the overnight snow weather forecast which to date hasn’t materialised. They didn’t want Crawley travelling and then having to pay for their accommodation if the game was off. Had we been playing someone more local today the pitch is fine, there is not another fall of snow and we would have been playing.

 

Perhaps we just don’t want to play them after what they did to L666ds. Much better to play them after they’ve been beaten at home by Grimsby. The snow was just a convenient cover.

 

The BBC weather forecast just shown on TV has temperatures of around 9 degrees at kick off, rain will have passed through during the morning leaving a bright day. Completely bizarre decision to cancel the game. All that hard work and potential damage to the pitch for nothing.

Oh well, let’s hope a game can be rearranged for Tuesday or we’ll start to lose match fitness and increase the risk of muscular injuries again.

 

Surely it was the covers that were a convenient cover. And we'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky side roads.

 

I fancied a home win today. I think it would have been "after the Lord Mayor's show" for Crawley and a good time to play them.

 

Inaccessable my arse.

 

Look on the bright side. We get a few more players through the door and avaible for selection ahead of our next game.
A striker being a priority

 

I don't think it snowed overnight here in Keighley-just rained. So the forecast was well wide of the mark.

 

says it quite clearly on the image you posted 'red and amber zone doctors including paramedics' and an ambulance is always needed.

 

lad travels during a pandemic when instruction is not to make any unnecessary journeys unless for food, medical appointments or work to take some photos to put on his social media for a match that has already been postponed just to try and make a point.

idiot.

 

Which would have had easy access today wether for the football club or the residents living nearby. In a time where fixture congestion is becoming even tighter the EFL have made a bad call on the back of time , money and effort from the club being wasted. I guess it depends what weather app they checked, i didn't envisage any more snow before todays game from the apps i follow.

 

You seem very angry and flustered, maybe a football forum isn't for you?

 

but this could not be guaranteed yesterday - that's the whole point.. like someone has already said; if we'd have been playing Scunthorpe or Oldham, the decision wouldn't have been needed to be made until this morning. the fact that Crawley are having to travel as far as they are obviously played a part.

 

not really. just don't see what the lad is trying to prove.. there are worse things going on than having to spend a Saturday afternoon not watching the football.

 

The.bbc weather site forecast three or four hours of it before it turned to rain so did the televised forecasts

 

The met office app certainly didnt.

 

The world does go on despite Covid.

 

Maybe out locally doing his exercise?
