Beaconsfield P-P Slough Town

[GarySTFC]

Frozen surroundings and snow on the far end of the pitch mean we're without a game today.

[Chris]

Shame. Pretty strange that the snow was not taken off the pitch 2 days ago by SYCOB.

[Matt]

Could SYCOB have done more to get the game on? Given that most of the snow and ice has thawed in the surrounding areas, I'm quite surprised.

[Tom]

Scandalous.

 

If Hitchin can organise a work party to get a game on when their ground and pitch looked like this in midweek - http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk/ViewSlideshow.action?&localeid=en_GB&collidparam=1035522020233.6937148221233.1261503115860 - then SYCOB could have pulled their finger out to get the game on today.

 

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest that they didn't though.

[Mr Rebel]

if the snow was the problem im sure if told Slough fans would have helped out but what can be done now. ice would have stopped the match going on anyway probably

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Shame that, was really looking forward to a game today because I cannot make the Marlow game.

[GarySTFC]

Beaconsfield do not have the resources to call on that clubs like Hitchin do though to arrange such things sadly. Given the temperatures expected for today and the potential revenue to be made for the club, I am surprised though that a decision has been made this early.

[Reading Rebel]

Scandalous.

So, a little bit of Snow at one end which could have been cleared and some salt/grit in the car park area and the game would have been on.

 

They obviously don't need the money or just couldn't be bothered to make the efffort.

 

I would say the crowd today would have been much bigger today than on a Tuesday and some much needed funds.

 

As I said before, such a well run club they deserve everything they get.

[Tom]

I realise they don't have the resources but as mentioned, how often do Slough fans help them out with their problems? If only they had asked. I can't imagine the same thing happening if it was our "home" game.

 

As you say Gary, their loss. Even more frustrating when you see locally both Windsor & Maidenhead games are on.

[Matt]

Still disappointed, but looking at it slightly differently, could this be a blessing in disguise? Beaconsfield have just had a change of manager and the upturn in results that often goes with it.

 

I'm assuming then that this will be rearranged for the spring, or could both clubs agree to play it next week, weather permitting?

[GarySTFC]

Won't be this week as the FA are closed now until the fourth and usually need three days to arrange officials. It has to be within six weeks of the original date, so I would imagine some time in January.

Or he gets the chance to bring his own better players in.

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

as it seems with beaconsfield the term a brewery and a lack of a party seems to fit , perhaps we should get our backsides into gear and get these problems sorted so that we have a game against marlow next week and show what can be done

[HorshamRebel]

I've been told by the Lillywhites who were up at the ground earlier today, to take the kit, that the car park and the lane were totally iced up with at least 2-4" of ice.

 

This would mean that there would not have been anywhere to park and it would have been dangerous for supporters walking across it as well.

 

With my road looking the same last weekend, I can see why they have called it off.

 

Pity though.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Well Hitchin won 4-1 today, opens up a 6pt gap for them at the top of the league.

Bury currently drawing 1-1.

[Chris]

I think it's important we worry more about focusing on a play-off position than winning the league at this stageof the season, so I think that result is a decent one for us as Arlesey are a threat to that.

 

Out of interest where on the internet are you getting the bury score from?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Bury forum here

They are now 2-1 up against Sudbury. This would put them level on games and us 2pts behind them in 3rd.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

We should be looking at winning the leauge with at least 108 points - anything less is not acceptable!!!

Pity though.

salt and grit are readily available, the only addittions to this is a determination to see the game go ahead, these today seem to be sadly lacking at beaconsfield perhaps a consequence of their league position, my road was under similar conditions this last week is also a side road but is now clear, so as far as i'm concerned there are no excuses, i bet it hasn't stopped them from using the club house!

[chris sliski]

No Disrespect !

 

But working parties from Slough could have been organised to help to get the game on today ??

 

..do you mean the few that normally turn up during the summer ..??

 

yes good words ...but never any action except from the useal few !

 

See you all in the Summer ....I guess...or not !! LOL
