More concerning is that we didnt train last night just spent time travelling.

We'll be in Thursday, depending on people's working pattern maybe in the afternoon

I feel very sorry for everyone who had a wasted journey and the unnecessary expense that went with it.

At the end of the day, though, the situation was beyond everyone's control and it's just one of those unfortunate things that happens occasionally. Had the shoe been on the other foot I think we would have been a bit bemused by Leamington fans slating our club for extreme weather causing a postponement.

I don't think the fans that travelled down were slating Leamington off.
We new it was the correct decision .
The frustrating thing was the expense , but these things happen.

I don't think the fans that travelled down were slating Leamington off.

I didn't say they did.

However some people were mouthing off on Twitter last night saying what a disgrace it was etc. and I don't see how Leamington could have done any more.

And indeed on page one of this thread.

I remember an APL Cup match against I think Wealdstone in the late 1970's. There had been no rain all day or that week for that matter. Then there was an almighty downpour at about 5.30pm as I was coming out of work in Manchester. When I got to the ground the pitch was waterlogged and the area in front of what is now the family stand was like a swimming pool. Alty fans scooped and shovelled the water to no avail. When the Wealdstone supporters coach arrived they were horrified as they hadn't come across any rain on their journey up.

George Heslop was talking about this game in the bar at Leamington last night, as an example of a similar situation that we had faced. George was one of the people working on the pitch that night.

In fairness, you directly quoted my post and then made a defensive comment about the people who travelled down, so it was certainly implied.

I think we were singing from the same song sheet.
But on many occasions there are cross wires.
See you on Jan 5th.

I won't be there unfortunately, but Merry Christmas to you, hope you have a good one!

Really the issue here is the original over confident club statement, should have said - playable now a pitch inspection is scheduled for 7pm

Many thanks, and the same to you🍻🎄
