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

"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."

I'm sure there are cheats and bribes in football - I agree with you, but where does tomorrow's referee fit into this? He's the only person who can make the decision on the game going ahead? Are you ready to believe that Nuneaton have corrupted him and offered him some sort of incentive to pretend that the pitch isn't playable, just so they can play the fixture later in the season when they might (and might not) theoretically have a slightly improved chance of getting a better result?!

I assume those claiming subterfuge are more about ground staff failing to try to remove water, more than refs with iffy scruples.

People should've probably seen the rain in the Midlands yesterday, I drove past Nuneaton and it was almost undriveable. It was absolutely pissing down, i'm not so sure if we had rain like that even we would've got a game on.

Surely a lack of effort on this matter from groundstaff would be absolutely obvious to the match officials who would report any suspicions they might have.

Blimey, I know we want to play and win the game, but can't people just accept that just because the weather isn't too bad where they live that other regions might be suffering more, meaning that, occasionally, games will be called off due to waterlogged or frozen pitches? Nobody here has any shred of evidence to suggest that Nuneaton may be deliberately trying to get this game postponed (even if that was somehow possible to deliberately influence). I remember some said the same about the Gateshead fixture. Some strategy that turned out to be.

Surely if our game is in doubt, then others will be as well with the weather as it has been. Given King's Lynn's game at Romulus (Sutton Coldfield) on a supposedly all-weather pitch was called off this evening, then I certainly don't expect us to be playing tomorrow.

Whilst I dont doubt what the OP has been told. I cannot understand why there is no mention on their website if it is in danger and a pitch inspection is planned.

No more snow overnight here but it's pretty damn cold.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the pitch is flooded / frozen!
