Never to the dark side Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 For the late postponement of the game on saturday. Yet the egg chasers play on the same pitch on SUNDAY Did it not rain all day on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Rugby club PAYS rent to the gas, so the game went ahead. If the footy had been played on Saturday, the pitch would have been unfit for Sunday which would was income rather than expense for the gas.

i hate you butler Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Rugby or Football on a wet pitch? Not rocket science is it, or is it that some just wanna have another pop at that poor league basement club? Worry about your own team. another wet lettuce!!

Guest Lewie Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Don't really want to kick Rovers when they're (going) down, but there is a school of thought that they didn't try very hard at all to get the game on for Saturday. Reason being that the rearranged fixture will be in January or February, after the transfer window is open. Slightly cynical view I know, but I can see it being true. If so, very naughty & the travelling Rotherham fans deserve an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I think Brighton fans must feel more aggrieved at Blackburn calling game off at 12:30 - should imagine most would have been pretty close to the ground by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment,but I would have thought most Brighton fans would have been staying the weekend in the aerial considering thay have not played one another for twenty years Brighton had to travel 24 miles to get to Wigan v Arsenal for the 12;45pm kick off and then attend the liverpool v fulham game at 5;30pm or just attend the Manchester City game at 3pm What option did Rotherham fans have?

It's not like they haven't got a history of it, Saying that I think it's the poor communication from the gas that Rotherham are complaining about, more than the game being postponed, apparently the gas stated on their site that the game would go ahead as normal at 11am, only to then have a pitch inspection at mid day. Not like there was a dramatic change in weather conditions between 11am and mid day, it had been chucking it down all day, plus the fact that there was a severe weather warning for the whole of the south west.

Either that or the south coast has seriously warped the side of the brain that understands direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Don't brighton and Plymouth have some sort of mutual understanding of nearly being made bankrupt.

A mate of mine can see the Mem from his house and he told me the rugby posts were up at 1 o'clock on Saturday. Pretty quick work considering the game was only called off at 12.
