[ccfcway]

Think id have rather it been job done with the teams around us playing midweek whilst city rest.

that's assuming we won

[CovisGod]

Got to Peterborough before it was called off, also had a room booked tonight at the Ricoh that I can't get a refund for. Fucking bastard snow.

 

[Ricketts]

Pop in and give Steve Evans my 'regards'

 

[ccfcway]

Terrible decision. If I was robins I'd be going crazy.

he wont do anything about it until about 4:35, and by then its too late

 

[clint van damme]

fuck me, it's off. Deal with it. No ones been murdered!
Was looking forward to it myself but it's not happening so there we go.
Feel for people from both clubs who have travelled and it should have been called last night but it is what it is.

As for Robins being furious, he might be, then again he might be delighted. He might think that an extra week without a game is just what the players need.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Just to clear up any confusion the Swindon game is off due to the weather. We would have made playoffs if we’d played and won today.

Yeah all we need is a further backlog of games. Lincoln are in shit form with players missing. Today was a chance to get one up on our rivals and put some pressure on

 

[Liquid Gold]

I’m glad because I got slaughtered last night because I knew the drive wouldn’t be on. I’m prepared for a few very late nights now though.

Watford are offering 50% off tickets to anyone who has a season ticket at any club whose game has been postponed. If anyone lives in that direction and wants to go and watch West Brom lose there's an option for you....

 

[clint van damme]

but we would have played 6 games in March and 5 in April now it's vice versa.
I think the fixture list looks kinder moving this to April but it may not pan out that way, we'll see.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I don't get the drama around the game being called off. Chill out, pop to the cinema - Black Panther, Game Night & The Greatest Showman are all pretty good - or spend time with family. It's a football game, not the end of the world.

It's never good to play more games in the future, plus we have to play Lincoln when they are closer to full strength.

Also no one siad anyone had been murdered, people can rightly question why a game has been called off due to "snow in a stand"

Are you sure the Swindon game is off - hadn't heard about that?

All Swindon games are off as there might be snow somewhere in England

Dude I've lost £250 on a hotel room, I won't be able to make the fixture if it's midweek so that's another £30 down the swanny, I had already drove for over an hour before it was called off and now I've got to spend my Saturday that was meant to be celebrating my birthday and having a pint with Big Mo Konjic looking at my fucking Mrs sour face. Not happy

do you not think players suffer when they put a real shift in in a big game?
We did it against Stoke and MK and I think we suffered for it in the league.
And the players have done it in the last week against Mansfield, (with 10 men), and Wycombe. I think the break will benefit us.

They might have more players injured than now - who knows - haven't got a crystal ball - they will have less fans backing them, though and if they have slipped up a bit more before we play them, the game may be irrelevant from their perspective, so they are less up for it. Nobody knows.

Would think the Ricoh hotel might be able to refund based on the circumstance?

But they will have played more games later on in there season and we were playing a weakened challenger today.

Common sense mate, there is a reason the Lincoln fans are happy today

I'm hoping so, just emailed them

 

[Otis]

Or the 187 miles from Grimsby to Carlisle.

Can't imagine the snow is very good up there.

It is okay though and lucky that the Millwall v Sunderland local London derby is on.

All Sunderland fans need to do is just cross the street and they're there.

 

[clint van damme]

what you on about, a load of them are raging.

only cause they travelled, plenty of tweets happy not to play

I was more thinking about the local City fans who are apoplectic. Hope you can recoup some of the money.

 

[wingy]

Just needed powerful Blower there.

 

[Esoterica]

It's a laughable decision to call it off at this point for a few cm of snow around. Nothing stops out here, in far worse conditions, and if you choose to go out in it, it's your own risk. Play the game and if people have bought tickets who can't or feel they shouldn't travel, offer them a free ticket for another game.

 

[Nick]

That's something that could be sorted by the time the ground opens at 1.30PM though.

Fair play to Mark and Volunteers though, did they put something out asking for help? I'd have gone down if I had known it was needed and I am sure loads more would and had it cleared.

 

[clint van damme]

Lincoln will now have 7 games in April if the game is rescheduled for next month. Not sure why they would actively seek that scenario.

 

[Elvis Pressley]

That's my weekend ruined

£250?! Is that just for yourself?!!

Think that's for the Escort as well.
