Obv called off. Would be in there interest to switch it to Newcastle!

 

[Carpy]

Looks playable to me

Tomorrows game off but they are at home Saturday, can't see that one happening either.

 

[WarwickOx]

Looks like the 17th at the Oxfordshire!

 

[holdsteady]

Rumours that it might not be playable for a month or two, groundshare with MK Dons?

Bloody wimps, that would still win pitch of the year in the 70s. Just look at this from 1977, the pitch was so bad the penalty spot had to be painted on during the game because it disappeared...



(The legend that is David Langan played in that match),

Could subsidence like that mess with the foundations of the stadium? Especially if it keeps raining?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

They could just shorten the pitch so that the subsidence was behind the goal line.

And then (for H&S) put some plastic barriers and flashing lights around the hole so nobody fell in.

Sorted.

Uncle Albert would still fall down it..

Looks better than the pitch I used to play on at the misnamed Cotswold Country Club!

They have apparently pumped over 100000 litres of water out of the stadium (in addition to it just flowing away).

Presumably it’s being redirected to the East Stand toilet floor.

Play their games on Wimbledon Common. Uncle Bulgaria in goal...

And the ball was actually a block of ice painted to look like a football.

And you had to break at least three opposition bones before you got a warning about getting a yellow card.

And you'd be expected to play on with a broken neck. Heck, even if you were dead

Too bloody right...

Tie being moved to Newcastle.

Sounds like potentially a massive financial gain. Foul play? I can see this opening the self-sabotage floodgates!

 

[SteMerritt]

floodgates

Literally in this case...

Swoosh...

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Wonder how the pitch at Grenoble Road is holding up? More rain forecast over the next few days 🌧

Or Kingstonian

My mate is an AFC fan and he's rumours of sharing with QPR

 

[mariokempes]

Why dont they swap the fixtures with Accrington around ? That then gets the groundstaff a few weeks to get on top of the situation.

Blackburn are at home this weekend so that might be a problem, plus Accrington might not want to? Could lose them money.
