If there's a chance the pitch needs inspecting then it should be the match refs obligation to be as early as possible. So Sunderland is two and a half hours away. Set off at 7.30 and you'll be there at ten. Him getting there early wouldn't have stopped it raining but he could have monitored while it was coming down.

I reckon we do the same to a club.. and let ATS justify it to the away fans.


I didnt travel on saturday (part timer etc..) due to a family bereavement. My dad actually joked it may be called off at midday anyway. Feel for those who travelled all that way.

Before getting all smart please be aware that it  has happened at Moss Lane in the not TOO distant past where a Local Official declared it playable (At the time, assuming that the weather would be as forecast and the thaw would continue) The Match Official then arrived, went out to warm up, slipped on the icy bit which sadly hadn't thawed sufficiently and called the game off.

The away fans, whilst clearly none too pleased, accepted the circumstances (actually better than the Home fans who had just walked up from the Bridge)

He could have left at 9 after the initial inspection like everyone else had to do

That doesn't  change the fact that he should have left home at 9am like everyone else travelling to the game.

Health and Safety is the big issue i'm afraid the days of playing on bad pitches are long gone what should have happened was that the game should have been off Friday night Worcester did this to stop Barrow having a wasted journey and i would suggest that Aggborough is in better condition than Borough Park

Still looking for a pitch for this Saturday for our eagerly anticipated game against Northwich Supporters.

Can we make it more games played than the main team in this calendar year? :)

If games keep getting called off so easily make non league football a summer sport

I don't like 3G pitches but now the FA have endorsed them maybe we should all have one, rent it out to whoever during the week and ensure games take place in a timely manner, one Saturday home game since new year is no good for anybody.

I agree with one question, however! IF Man U want to play their U21s/reserve team at the JD, will they want their youngsters to play on a 3G pitch?

I believe playing on true surfaces can only help their development, but do the coaches at Man U feel the same?
