Decent result that

 

[Bromley Blue]

That’s **** poor from Rochdale. Our fans have travelled for probably 4+ hours to get to the game and they call it off when most are just arriving. They need to change the rules with these things and if the away club are more than 100 miles away call games off earlier.

 

[AndyT]

Spot on.

It's not like they didn't know it might be off. It's been doubtful since yesterday.

Just make the bl**dy decision earlier!

 

[Tommy2holes]

They had covers out and loads of volunteers.

How has this been called off.

Rochdale probably call off more games than anybody else

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

British Broadcasting Corporation now reporting that the game is cancelled. :sad:

Back home it is then ...............:cry:

Perhaps their pitch is worse than ours plus I think Rochdale Hornets use it in the Rugby League season throughout the summer.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Waterlogged pitch, its off.

Feel sorry for the travelling fans.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

That pitch is the first this season to look worse than ours. Shocking decision to call it off so late

 

[The Big Dady]

Confirmed game off, this may have been Ricky Duncan and Kevin Maher's only chance to show what they could do. :sad:

 

[BrettieAngell]

Looks pretty bad but cant see much (if any) standing water.

Can't drop into another game, I guess 'Rattus'?

 

[AndyT]

Just looking at the pictures of the pitch, you can't tell me that it looked any better than that at 8:00am this morning, when they should have made the decision!

At 10:00am they still had the covers on so they would not have seen it. :winking:

 

[RayleighShrimp]

Dam, was their big chance

What a bunch of buffoons.

They should sack their groundsman!

 

[The Big Dady]

At lease he got the leaking covers on.

 

[LBBlue]

What a bunch of buffoons.

What happens when you have rugby league on it all summer - doesn't get a chance to rest and recover.

Mind you, I've just looked at potential other games :-

Leeds v. Millwall! Thump:gun:

Yep, good point.
