ah well, looks like I'll have to get sprawled out on the settee in front of the fire watching Jeff Stelling while sparing a thought for all the mugs who are out in this bloody horrendous weather.
Nanny state.

If the Scunthorpe v Oldham game goes ahead tomorrow, and our pitch was fit to play, it makes one wonder who has actually called the game off.
If the Lincolnshire police are happy why not South Yorkshire, it would lay a lie to being bothered about traffic on the M62, and away supporters travelling.
I am not saying the game should be played, just wondering what the difference is.
I received an email from DROS at 14 40 saying game off I then get one at 15.27 as a news letter saying Ferguson looking for a reaction against Bury on Saturday and telling me about a food bank collection at Bury game.!
That proves what I said earlier, if we really wanted the game on, with the forecast for tomorrow of only a chance of light snow, we could have played.
I cannot see the EFL thinking that Scunthorpe can play, but Doncaster Cannot, so it must be either us or the Police, and it looks like we have put a lot of work into trying to play.
Makes you wonder about how hard Scunthorpe wanted to play when they cancelled at the last moment the other season when the pitch looked OK.
At least it was called off with plenty of notice. Having said that if Scunthorpe goes ahead some questions need to be asked. All the perimeters to the stadium have been cleared. So is the problem the M62 and the Bury team and supporters travel? I don’t buy all that nonesence on that statement announced.
Problem is the m62 is still closed and the routes to the m1 from Stockport are closed as well at the minute with no sign of them reopening

What makes me laugh is that the Premier league games seem to always be on. Do their players & supporters use different (safer) roads & footpaths to those in the lower leagues. If the pitch is playable & the surrounding infrastructure is clear then the game should go ahead.
No complaints about it being called off from me, did n't fancy freezing me nads off anyway. The complaint I have is with SYP, the club get staff in to clear the pitch, and they get contractors in to clear and grit the surrounding areas and then SYP advise to call it off on safety grounds, a lot of expense could have been avoided if SYP had just done that from the off

Then you would of just had people moaning we never made an effort. Can't win either way really.

Scunthorpe is on. The game that was called off two years ago was down to an over-zealous referee. Scunny were livid about it and complained to the League.

I went to Keadby on Thursday, there was nowhere near as much snow there than there was around here
To be honest, I was driving around the Doncaster area yesterday, the roads were clear and the pavements looked ok, I don't see what safety issues the SYP are concerned aboutThat proves what I said earlier, if we really wanted the game on, with the forecast for tomorrow of only a chance of light snow, we could have played.

Scunthorpe actually had more but it melted quicker it looked ok around their ground yesterday.
I bet Scunny are really chuffed that they made the effort to get the game on today, :woohoo:
