Home Match Day Thread 20/01/2024 L1: OUFC vs Northampton Town - POSTPONED

[Carpy]

Probably the easiest game of a busy few weeks so would hope we end up walking away with the 3 points.

Fancy Harris to continue his goalscoring form, 2-0 to Oxford

EDIT: And it’s postponed

I'm not joking I've been outside for about 10 minutes with my t shirt on , it not even cold , & I'm not even a Geordie...

Cue the posts at 3pm saying ‘WTF?! the game should be on now because it’s 6 degrees..’

Pity we don’t have them lamps…or do we?

I was at the kassam yesterday, everywhere around there was fine defrosted, the football pitch as you cut through the leys to k***m was fine. In fact I was all around Oxford & Kidlington yesterday. Everywhere was quite normal. Where I live is right next to farmer's fields as far as the eye can see. When it's bad , it's bad.. but yesterday & today it's normal..

So, all places that get sun some part of the day, unlike half our pitch.

Still think the inspection should have been done now, 1pm:

Considering the Stevenage game is going ahead and I bet their facilities aren’t any better than ours

Their pitch probably gets more sun, bearing in mind where it is and how low the stadium roofs are.

Stevenage Barnsley off. Annoying - wanted Barnsley to be tired for Tuesday.

wonder how the FSA co ordinated, 16th min show of solidarity with the plastics will go down this avo now?

But is there any sun today? The weather for them is wind

It was the referees decision. We know how inconcistent they are, no doubt some would have said ok, others do another inspection at 1and others would have called it off.
The priority these days is rightly players safety, back in the days at the Manor, criteria was is the match playable. The key issue will have been will the pitch be playable at 5pm.
Move on, the games off.

I wonder what they might try at Oxford pitch invasion or a few 40 loves

Poor Barnsley fans, yes it might have benefited us for Tuesday if the game goes ahead but will those Barnsley fans gerr
Full refunds and who is liable the ref, Stevenage or Barnsley fc

Still not enough, it seems.
