CircleSeven Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: Is it considered bashing the club if you think it’s ridiculous at Championship level we’ve had to call this one off? I know it’s freezing outside but it’s not unusual for this time of year. I know Rotherham was called off but I’d rather not be lumped in with Rotherham after DC spent all that money on a brand new pitch I really don’t think it is club bashing to question why the undersoil heating isn’t working 5 years after it was installed. It’s definitely pretty poor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Rearranging it quickly like Rotherham v Derby did isn't an option with us playing Stoke next Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’m sorry but DC is proper selling us fans short at the moment. Pathetic to call a game off at this level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I might also be a bit peeved that I signed up to the i-follow pass a few minutes before this announcement and my faith in the club smoothly carrying this over to the rescheduled date is perhaps not as high as it should be!

lanzaroteowl Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 How much will it cost to run undersoil heating for 2/3 days when there is no financial gain at all in doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandiaowl Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I hear that Swansea played mostly 2nd string players against Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleblue Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 How much does it cost to boil a couple of kettles, there is something else going on here. I reckon it's all to do with the take over. Mark my words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’ve got to say, it’s tinpot and pathetic from us. No way, we should be calling a game off due to a frozen pitch. Hillsborough is one of the iconic and famous old grounds in the country and we’ve had undersoil heating for decades. WTF is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 there was snow during ours and rotherhams game while we played , if there was no game does the pitch get covered? if not the snow will have frozen and made it worse, either that or the pipes have burst ,or its a money saving exercise . might not be a bad thing though players getting rest , we have in march/april spare midweeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmb Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 20 minutes ago, Swingin' Sixties said: One of the coldest nights of the year last night, just above freezing today, -5 tonight. Coupled with uneven pitch and Swansea having to travel today, seems logical to call it off - an EFL Referee makes the decision not the Club. No-one seems to have mentioned the ploughed field that was Oakwell last night, nor the sorry-looking Elland Road pitch. The long period of very wet weather, combined with freezing temperatures, has played havoc with groundsmen's plans this season. Oh! and by the way we have "a lot of very tired legs out there." Good time for a few more days of rest? A bit of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 To be honest I don’t think postponing works in our favour. Just another fixture to play further down the line and we’ll be playing catch-up. We thought we’d be fresher after the Covid postponements, but we returned and got played off the park by Coventry.

@owlstalk Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm only reading this thread to see what kind of excuses people can come up with for a Championship club not even able to play a match Some of them so far have been absolute crackers Keep em coming 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
