Is The Game On?

[Ollygon]

Upwards of a million to install and needs to be on for about 2 days prior to game as well as day itself. Cost per day is £5000 for power apparently. Many clubs outside the Premier league have it installed but simply can't afford to switch it on

I recall this buggered us up in the Premier League.

We had just 1 home game in 2 months from the beginning of November to the beginning of January. We ended up with fixture congestion later on, and among other things this cost us in the end.

Been to tax returns and hedges !

Yup, cutting back woody stuff all week, it's actually been lovely out there and design work inside too, I have an accountant to do my taxes!

We knew it wouldn't be on Camber's frosty experts us gardeners!!

We have sprinklers, our EPL legacy from the vermin!

That will just make things worse Hertford and the heads are probably frozen anyway

 

[hertfordseasider]

You have to understand that the majority of the ground is covered from the sun at this time of year by the stands, it's not just last night's frost, it is a cumulative effect over several nights, once the frost is in the soil and temperatures stay belo freezing or just above for some of the time then the ground will get harder and harder, deeper and deeper. It is no surprise to me the game is off, temperatures on the pitch will probably not been above zero for however long the frost has been there, if it was down here it is 6 days now and the ground, even in the sun is absolutely rock hard.

I know a lot are upset because of the new manager syndrome but ou would all be moaning like fuck if we lost 3 players to injury because of it. It is the right decision and MM can now really get stuck in with the training and go and have a free hit next week before our next league game. The euphoria of his first home match ill just have to wait.

I heard they bought 20 watering cans from B&M bargains and connected the rose heads to hose pipe and plugged the lot onto the tap in the players bogs. I mean they didn't want to waste money when it could be better spent on players and the like!!

Nice 5 hour round trip to get a brew and a sausage barm at Tebay Gutted.

I suppose they could connect it to the hot and see if that works….

Gutted

 

[Normanx]

Never mind it will give big Mick time to prime the boys for Southampton.such a shame though.

Very true mate. Now heading to Annan v Bonnyrigg!!!

 

[Seasideforever]

The team will probably go to squires gate and train today now ?

If they are able to train and not play a game then questions will be asked whether it was to do with the pitch or giving the new manager time to work with his players.

In fairness, it's one of the nicest service stations in the UK. You could always do a nice walk in the Lakes instead!

 

[Murphy9]

Fucks sake

amateurish!! I phoned up club shop and bought a ticket at 10:15 this morning and asked if any chance it was going to be off cause travelling nearly 2 hours, to which he laughed and said nah it’s fine here…. Very very poor

 

[briar]

Blessing in disguise a cup game and a couple of weeks to get to know what players he wants

 

[Steamgun]

Huddersfield will be thinking there is a curse on our fixtures..Bully's golden goal, fire alarms, pitch invasions, dodgy goal, frozen pitch..We are becoming their Tranmere.

Think it’s voted the best Motorway services although not much to beat

We’re now watching the Liverpool & Celtic games in Annan before going to Annan Athletic v Bonnyrigg Rose!!

Don’t agree - the atmosphere and good feeling within the camp would have given us 3 points today. A great opportunity missed.

Maybe they could run warm water through them. Sorted.

Yup a trip up from Hampshire to the M6 Toll and back. Not the best of days out

 

[Macseasider]

Nice 5 hour round trip to get a brew and a sausage barm at Tebay Gutted.

And the brew and sausage barm would have been about £12.99 at Tebay too!

 

[Matesrates]

Kids playing fields don't have stadium stands shading the ground. Always a good 4 degrees difference at least where the sun can't shine.

I always thought it was much warmer where the sun don’t shine

It was mate - about the same price as 4 pints in the bar at Annan Athletic.
