Pitch doesn’t look that bad now.

So am I. The water isn't draining. They have about 4 people toddling about at a snails pace with no real urgency and it looks like they'll be inspecting the pitch again in under 10 minutes.Quote:

city fans giving them hell fair doos :hehe:
the ball rolled pretty well there ?
but thats like 1 tiny section
no way will that ball roll in the pen area, could cause chaos for decisions...
My Shop Vac would be more effective in clearing that than these groundsmen.
When you get a new ground on a flood plain and its called the New York Stadium this is the kind of grounds staff you require.
Still half a game left. Anything could happen.Quote:

We should be given the points, it’s hardly a close game to go back too is it? And Rotherham ground staff a joke
match is off...
Too late to bring on the subs then.Quote:

Disgraceful, they made no effort to clear the pitch and their fans just celebrated like they’ve won the game
15 minutes of rain shouldn't mean a match is abandoned at any level
Certainly not.Quote:

What about the wet scrappers that were mentioned on here? How come they were allowed to fight yet the football was abandoned?
Derby Snowgate
Rotherham Floodgate
what next Blackpool …sandgate?
[QUOTE=Don Corleone;5403678]....... they made no effort to clear the pitch ..../QUOTE]
THAt is what should be looked at by the authorities...not that it will get us anywhere. It was pathetic.
Rotherham was also snowgate where, as the commentators reminded us, Joe Bennett scaored a late winner and that was a rearranged game.Quote:

Surely as the game is at 1-0 that is how it should restart with 1 to us? 0-0 wouldn’t be fair at all.
Backwards fans backward club. They don't have the facilities for the modern championship.Quote:

Denis Law scored 6 goals in a game ( late 50’s I believe) that was abandoned. Was on the losing side in the rescheduled game.
He scored Man City’s only goal as well in the rearranged defeat against Luton. 7 goals in, more or less, the same match and finished on the losing side.Quote:
