Lots of call on social media for the Groundsman to be sacked? Considering how few games we’ve played this season - has he been negligible or just plain unlucky?
FFS!Lots of call on social media for the Groundsman to be sacked? Considering how few games we’ve played this season - has he been negligible or just plain unlucky?
It's unbelievable isn't it?Imagine something happening beyond your control in your job and then a load of utter cretins calling for your head on social media despite them knowing absolutely nothing about the situation other than what they have decided is the truth.
What a world we live in nowadays.
I'm no groundsman but surely he must look at the forecast? Said on previous posts I always plan for the work days before. Knew I had until 2pm today and of Wednesday because of rain.Lots of call on social media for the Groundsman to be sacked?

I'm no groundsman
I decided not to say what I really think about some of our so called fans response to this but I’ll leave it at ”do you seriously think this was planned”?It’s so incompetent it has to be planned.
With the squad in its current state, against a top 4 side the club have decided to use any opportunity to push the game further down the road.
If there’s an advert in a weeks time for heads groundsman then I will be wrong. But I just can’t see how this wasn’t planned.
What a crass post! It’s quite simple. The football pitch is not very much above sea level, plus we have had so much rain this winter = a very high water table. Result, nowhere for the water to disperse. The groundsman is not at fault...Lots of call on social media for the Groundsman to be sacked?

This post is so unbelievably ridiculous! Where the Hell are you coming from?It’s so incompetent it has to be planned.

Meaning the groundsman can’t have been that incompetent. Not putting covers in for a few hours before a downpour? Come on.I decided not to say what I really think about some of our so called fans response to this but I’ll leave it at ”do you seriously think this was planned”?
Oh and I suggest you rethink your opening paragraph as well I think you”ll find that doesn’t actually make sense.

Squads on its arse with a few key players only a week or so away.
A situation arises to put the game off, the club take it.
If we really wanted to play this and the Peterborough game we’d have got it on.
So yes I can believe the club today planned not to do anything to stop the pitch becoming waterlogged in order to push a tough game to a date where we’d have “ a better chance” of winning it.
We’ve done it previously this season so yes I think some thought went into this today.
Form is very temporary, they came back from 3-1 down in the last minute against a top two side just a few days ago. You could argue their very recent form is outstanding.Doncaster in poor form. Best time to play them. If we’re being shithouses then we don’t deserve to make the play offs
Our squad is on its arse????? We have just won 4 out of our last 5 games and are top of the division form table...... do you really believe what you are posting?Form is very temporary, they came back from 3-1 down in the last minute against a top two side just a few days ago.

They e already beaten is once, they’re in the top four for a reason.
Our squads on its arse currently,
I can’t see people at the club using the rain as a way of putting this off.
There was one free Tuesday before this postponement, bingo.
I imagine this will be our last weather affected game this season now due to their being no more dates to re arrange. Very convenient.
Squad on it’s arse..you mean the same one that won on Saturday against a side near the top.Meaning the groundsman can’t have been that incompetent. Not putting covers in for a few hours before a downpour? Come on.

Just list who’s out for me would you.Our squad is on its arse????? We have just won 4 out of our last 5 games and are top of the division form table...... do you really believe what you are posting?
Not really. A single cover over the whole pitch maybe, but as you lift smaller covers, the water comes off in a concentrated space, I would have thought.Started raining at 1pm. Cover the pitch until 5 games goes on. Simple.
Yep, after one of our furthest away trips, with 4/5 key players out against a top four side, a situation comes up. You take it.Squad on it’s arse..you mean the same one that won on Saturday against a side near the top.
...having Brett as your avatar is an insult to the great man.
As some players drop out injured then others step up and take their chance...... exactly what has happened recentlyJust list who’s out for me would you.
A chance comes up to put it off till the majority of these are back. You take it.
Ok so you accept we’ve have key players out. Thanks.As some players drop out injured then others step up and take their chance...... exactly what has happened recently
And not a shred of evidence to back up any of your bold claims. Just a general gut feeling that you get from time to time and you've never been wrong yet eh?Meaning the groundsman can’t have been that incompetent. Not putting covers in for a few hours before a downpour? Come on.

I’ve not claimed I have evidence, I’m mean we’re only on a message board where we share our thoughts on Blackpool FC arnt we, weird all this posting lark about our club isn’t it.And not a shred of evidence to back up any of your bold claims. Just a general gut feeling that you get from time to time and you've never been wrong yet eh?
I bet you re all over the major conspiracy theories too eh?
Lots of rain, games called off.. That's it! Same as.. Very very cold, pitch re freezes.. Game called off
The point I pulled you up on was regarding our squad being on its arse........ that’s simply not true is it?Ok so you accept we’ve have key players out. Thanks.
It’s not looking great is it.The point I pulled you up on was regarding our squad being on its arse........ that’s simply not true is it?
4 wins out of 5 sounds good enough to me. Squad players stepping up when given a chance, who would have thought it?It’s not looking great is it.
Only One striker who looks like he can score
our best player currently out but nearing a return.
2 centre backs out and a left back filling in.
Sounds great eh.
Yeah he planned it with the clouds.It’s so incompetent it has to be planned.

Jump on board mate. Everyone else seems to be having a go with insults, include some of those.Yeah he planned it with the clouds.
Sounds good to me too.4 wins out of 5 sounds good enough to me. Squad players stepping up when given a chance, who would have thought it?
We’d only be playing Sat, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday if we call off any more games after this.Whats the point of delaying the fixture if you end up playing later in the season Sat, Tues, Thurs, Sat with unknown injuries/suspensions etc.
Unfortunate that the hot air generated on here and other social media things could not be recycled to Bloomfield Rd, pitch would be bone dry in an hour
yes because of the previous groundsman, not because of this clown thats in charge now.Anyone calling for the lad to be sacked should be banned from the ground, Jesus Christ we’ve actually got one of the best surfaces in the football league
