One corner of the pitch unplayable apparently.

Outrageous.

Twice fans and players have had to travel for nothing.

This is even more outrageous because of how sure they were it would be playable.

Is that 3 postponements now?

They've put a right shift in to try and make the pitch playable, lots of hard work from volunteers. Let's not forget that.

That being said, having seen some photos of the unplayable corner I don't want our players anywhere near it. It's a beach. The problem here is that the correct decision should have been made during the earlier inspection this afternoon, absolute joke that it has come to this again.

Spot on.  Cannot detract from the efforts put in, bet those volunteers are absolutely gutted.

That pitch has Alty injury written all over it.

Assuming nobody fell down the coach steps, guaranteed no further injuries before Saturday too!

Three times. And they are one of the bigger sides at that level too, oh dear.

If we haven't asked already this should now be moved back to Moss Lane. If not somewhere near to them (Kiddy? Nuneaton?) that will actually be capable of getting this game on.

With the current injury situation this may actually help us, the players will be fresher for saturday vs Gateshead and Wrexham next tuesday will be postponed and hopefully happen when we have more players available, we hope :P

Still no where near enough to prevent wasted journeys.  Why tweet that pitch is OK this afternoon when there is any doubt at all, just keep quiet and let us make our own mind up.

Glad I learnt from last time and didn't believe a word of it and stayed here!

I thought the guy in the gate was joking when he told me it's off again. Unbelievable.

It's now here same time next Tuesday if the pitch is actually playable.

Anyone who went tonight deserves a medal and recompense from them in my view.

I suggest we start a tab for the bar on saturday for anyone who went tonight, I will contribute to it so at least they get a free drink this weekend for their loyalty and commitment.
Anyone else want to join me?

What a joke. Shows them up for the amateurs they are, notwithstanding the efforts that the volunteers made. I would blame their decision makers for this farce, why leave it so late to get a referee in to inspect when it is at least a 2 hour journey for most of us and the team.

I went to the last one when they called it off even later, despite their Twitter account saying it was playable. This time round...same Twitter account saying its dry and playable etc.

Very poor effort it has to be said, I feel sorry for Alty fans who have made the trip. Having already been stung I was not going to make the same mistake again. When I saw the pictures of the beach earlier I feared the worst, how could they think that was playable and tell the world that it was ok?
