Game off

[donnievic]

Can't say I'm that bothered

[Wade Falana]

b*llocks

[RobTheRover]

Bugger.

This was a great chance to open up that gap and put pressure on the other teams. Oh well,  I suppose it gives our lads a rest and a chance for Syers to be back.

[MrFrost]

Yet the youth team game goes ahead.

[DaveOfDonny]

I think the pitch inspection was far too early, the game isn't for another 7 hours, could well be playable by then.

Agreed, think this could be an error by those involved in the decision making.

Where has this been announced anyway?

[Dagenham Rover]

Sorry, but thats ridiculous (not you Rob thae decision)

Its boiling in Cantley!!

[RedRover45]

Just seen Brian Flynn at ground and he's told me. Didn't look happy !

[oggycompton]

yet cantley park is ok? tin pot.

[Dare to dream!]

bullshit

[mushRTID]

Pathetic decision. There is nothing wrong with the ground. f**k sake.

[ctay]

To be honest, Cantley Park has been really wet for a while. It could be to do with the hardnest of the pitch at the Keepmoat. Every club says the surface is hard.

[dickos1]

Cantley park has grass on pitch whereas our pitch is mud, frozen mud is a death trap

[mrfrostsdad]

Nothing wrong with the ground Mush? So why is the game off?

[uros-predic]

Another 7 hours of above freezing temperatures to soften the parts of the pitch that have been stated are 'unplayable' (which im guessing is frozen). No more snow forecasted either. Definitely could of dropped a big old saggy bollock

[mrfrostsdad]

Why? If the ground is frozen, it's frozen. Or are you 'in the know' as well?

[Thinwhiteduke]

Scandalous. Shooting ourselves in the foot again. What a pathetic decision.

[Filo]

The KM tundra strikes again, evertwhere else in donny the ground is soft and will take a stud, I reckon the Rugby on Sunday has screwed us, also a pitch inspection nearly 8 hours before kick off is way too early!

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Haha so many overreactions it's daft. It's cold and frozen in the shade. It's not that unbelievable really, get over it.

[steve@dcfd]

The pitch should have been playable, surely the ground staff would know which areas are frozen if any and sort it. I thought we had double covers to protect down to -6 it not been that temperature.

[neil grainger]

What a disappointment.

Was really looking forward to tonight and the chance to keep the momentum going after Saturday.

Bugger.

[MrFrost]

Time to sort the pitch out and tell the rugby team to f**k off and play at Castle Park.

[IDM]

Why is it pathetic?

I am sure the club has done all it can to get the game on, and the pitch covers can only achieve so much.

Yesterday and last night were very very cold, sometimes you just have to admit defeat to the weather.  Stop slagging the club off "tin pot" " bullshit" etc...

Plus this gives Hume more time to get fully fit, and Syers etc.  We're still top and this game is still winnable when re-scheduled.

What's the problem?

[ponte_ricky]

its beautiful over here in manchester, bit nippy but really clear out and no snow at all 

[Keith Myath]

Im absolutely baffled, i work just a stones throw from the keepmoat and the grass here is'nt frozen.

[Pintolager]

Haha so many overreactions it's daft. It's cold and frozen in the shade. It's not that unbelievable really, get over it.

Agreed. How many times has it been mentioned that parts of the pitch are in the shade, so can't get the warmer temperatures? I can understand fans being frustrated, but let's just think about things before we speak

[IDM]

We lose nothing by the postponement. There are plenty of Tuesdays to reschedule the game, no fixture pile up.

Stay in and stay warm, and look forward to Saturday...

[RobTheRover]

I think that's it,  Lee. The goalmouth at the south end is permanently in shade at this time of year. I can well believe it's frozen solid.
