I've never seen a professional pitch with such bad drainage.
Hard to see this re-starting. The pitch is almost under water. It would need to stop raining, then drain, then be spiked
Blackpool, QPR and Wigan all losing.
If match is abandoned is the full game replayed?
Rotherham, what a joke
Surely there must be bigger issues with this pitch, how has it got so waterlogged so quicklyQuote:

:Edit: City singing "we want our money back...."

they are saying the ground staff may come out and take a look... but if anything the rain looks to have stopped... but it the 20 min it came down for has ruined the pitch and in places there is no way a ball will roll... every section of the pitch is effected, every white line is blurred and in some places not visable...
some players coming out to have a look at it
Thought so.Quote:

It is impossible that much rain in 10-15 minutes does that unless something seriously wrong with the pitch, I've played 90 minutes in this much heavy rain on Pontcanna as a kid and not needed the game calling off. Got to be something for the EFL to look at.Quote:

It's all laughing and joking on the Rotherham bench at the moment
Is that Howard Webb on the phone?
city fans singing sack the groundsmen :hehe:
Zero attempt by groundstaff to do anything now the rain has stopped
I bet…..like snow gate allover. We must be the unluckiest club ever. Been out in my garden in a t shirt allday sunny in the diff.Quote:

Very half hearted attempt to push the water, if they were winning I’m sure it would be different.
pwaaaaaaa only now a groundsman comes out with a large wet scrapper... and attempting to swish the water away and the poxy handle comes off
haha even the cameraman is following him around while the lads sing you dont know what your doing
:ayatollah:
I wonder how long they will give it before they try......probably come on....almost as bad...then abandoned....and the guy in the goalmouth with one hand in his pocket.....!!!
Mind you I am old enough to remember Ronnie Bird plashing up the right wing in puddles....
This is a ****ing joke. There's no way this pitch is playable. And until about 2 minutes ago everyone was just standing around.
Is this the 2nd tier? I'd dock them 6 points for such shit drainage.
They are making no attempt to get this game going.Quote:

dont get me wrong... i dont want to replay this but this will be just our luck if this is the omen that goes against us
Feckin Huddersfield 1 up now :facepalm:
Anyone know how long they can delay a game for? It’s miles off atm, can’t even see the lines.
Wigan 1-1Quote:

Further Pitch inspection 16:45
results going against ... act of god ...even he/she hates us
If there was a really bad problem with the drainage, wouldn’t Rotherham be having stacks of matches abandoned or postponed every season? Seems to me that it’s just an unlucky freak downpour.
The bloke with the pitchfork might at well just go home. He's making no effort.
ffs theres 2 blokes out there with 2 wet scrappers do clear the entire pitch... you still cant see the corner spots... what water they push off it swishes around and half of it comes back on..
in the meantime we are being treated to highlights of ojos miss...
looking like they deffo want to try and get this game going again
if this is to be replayed we should start 1 up... this is a joke
Sabri not happy. Looks like it's off.
Apparently going to kick back off in 10 minutes. Coventry 4-1 up now.
game is delayed until 4.45 :facepalm:
theres 1 guy out there with a ****ing house broom ffs
...or even him/her/they/them/it......Quote:
