Nuneaton game not looking good!

We've had the wettest year on record. The water table is so high that the wet stuff has nowhere to go. We are lucky at BP that the soil is sandy and drains well, consequently we don't have many postponements. Other teams don't have as good a pitch as we do.

Gateshead for instance.

I can't see why Nuneaton wouldn't want the game to go ahead.

I've read some f@cking tripe on The Fishy over the years, but this thread must go down as something of an archetype. Jeez. The weather is the weather and Nuneaton's pitch and facilities are what they are (to borrow a favourite phrase from Rob Scott). There's f@ck all they (or anyone else) can do about it. To read some of the posts on this thread you'd think there was some sort of conspiracy against us in terms of calling games off unnecessarily. What are some people thinking?! A decision to go ahead with the fixture is based solely on the assessment of the match referee - about as unbiased an opinion as there is. Send a representative down to make sure it's not a con?! Flippin' eck. I know we'll all be disappointed if the game is off and the rearranged fixtures pile up, but that's football. Some folk need to engage their brains before they post knee-jerk nonsense.

Some folk need to realise that we all have opinions and not to take things too seriously. FFS

Its not about opinions in this case though is it. Getting irate at the weather, having a go at a football club and their pitch as though they could somehow control this is irrational. I know conspiracy theories are popular but come on. They've had a lot of bad weather. Their pitch is waterlogged. The game might be in doubt. Let's just deal with that.

I'm not irate, just saying my view. That is all.

I didn't specify you did I? What is your view?

Boo. Fenty out.

People believe that there are no cheats and bribes in football, I am not so naive to believe this. Nuneaton may want this game to go ahead as much as us but I wouldn't put it past any team to avoid a game to benefit themselves. Playing us later when we have to play 4 games in a week, for instance, would not be in our best interest but may be in the other clubs.

The Pope has resigned over this.......i think something got lost in translation though as the message he reacted to was...     Nuns eaten in pitch battle
