Match Off.

[Ted]

Just had a call to say that today's match is off.

[Guest]

can someone please confirm offically that this is

the situation .

[Matt]

I'm no official, but remember in future to check the official Isthmian League site if you're unsure. They usually have news up fairly quickly of what's on and what's not, as well as any inspections.

 

They say our game today is off.

I think we will have to soon as even though we had no cup matches left by december we are going to have a huge backlog of matches.

Anon, I suggest that you take a look at not only the genera area but most of the country. This season has seen alot of games called off due to the very bad weather over the past couple of months.

Also, if you want to take the piss at least put your name to your posts!

Mal the Anon is probably just stiring the $hit as if he had any credibility he would post against a name.

 

Slough fans are well aware of the true condition of Stag Meadow as can be seen by the posts by Martin, Dom, Ted .... who are talking about how we can put things right at Stag Meadow.

 

Is there going to be any work done tomorrow to put the fence up as I am sure slough fans would help to sort it for Tuesdays game?

[mal316]

Not sure when the work is being done and also if it will be a temporary job until it can be done properly or the weather becomes a bit more manageable.

 

I know that the groundsman was pricing it all up to do it but I suppose that there will also be some sort of insurance company involved.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Mal - even if the fence was put right what would the chances of a game on Tuesday be?

[Dominic]

The area behind the far goal is badly flooded, as are some sections of the pitch. Any rain between now and Tuesday would see the game being called off IMO.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Thanks Dom

[mal316]

The water behind the goal is not an issue as it is off the pitch.

 

As for the other area's, they are the same ones that have always been a problem and as Dom said any rain between now and Tuesday and there will be no chance of a game.

 

Although we still have a reserve game scheduled for Wednesday we have already faced up to the fact that it won't happen.

Unfortunately not true. If a ref feels that the flooded area could be a danger to a player or official he can call the game off, as we found out at Hendon earlier in the season.

Have to back Dominic up on this, if an area off the pitch is considered to be a danger, the referee can still call the game off as Dominic rightly says we found out a few weeks ago.

Considering we have played three or four times, the last two games included, with a big puddle behind the goal I do not think it will be a problem.

Depends on which referee you get - as we've found out. One referee may be happy, another may not.

[Martin]

Let's face it Mal we can't get first team games played so there should be no talk of reserve team games for several weeks at best.

[Roger Rebel]

I thought that we were told there would be no reserve games played on that s*** hole.
