So why did Barber call it off?

Free pie and drink at a future home game for those who bought tickets.
Better than a kick in the nads!

This wouldn't have happened if Steve Kean was still in charge

Just been told that the pitch is ok, but a brook behind the stadium is rising thats why its off. Dont know how true it is

How can Accrington be on when Blackburn isn't? I reckon they were too scared and ran away, the softies.

mmmm and when we play sometime in January we may have a top notch striker and a decent back four given the injuries so apart from the poor sods already there or nearly there this could go in our favour. Watch this space, don't forget where you heard it first.

I was going to post this.

The top notch striker gaining an extra point or two up there may make the difference of a play off place at the end of the season.

Barber OUT!

 

[Easy 10]

Henning Berg:

"I'm very disappointed," the manager told Radio Rovers. "We have prepared for this game all week so of course we would have liked to have played. We looked at it as a good opportunity to win again and for it to be called off this early was even more disappointing. You would have liked them to hold on a bit longer to see if it stops raining then maybe it would be possible. Yes we know that at 12.30pm there was no chance for the game to be played, but you never know with the weather, even though the forecast was for there to be more rain this afternoon. I was hoping they could wait a little bit longer and make a decision a little bit later then maybe the game could have been on".

Yeah cheers Henning. Leave it till about 2.45 ideally to see if it could be played eh ? After all, that wouldn't inconvenience ANYONE would it. Oh, and "a good opportunity to win" is it ? We'll see about that, you gormless scandenavian TIT.

And just for good measure, here's the ref:

"Unfortunately we've had to call the game off today," said the referee. "I got a phone call on my way over from (football secretary) Ian Silvester saying there could be a potential issue so we've gone out and had a look. The forecast going forward is just rain for the full afternoon. There's standing water on the pitch already and there's really nowhere for it to go. The last thing we want to do is to call games off but for the safety of the players it is a decision we have had to make.

"We wanted a game of football, Brighton have come a long way to discover the game is off, but we due have a duty of care to the players, and the fans, in weather like this. It is a shame but it is the correct decision."

Right, so its been raining heavily pretty much everywhere for the last few days, more heavy rain was forcast overnight and all day today, but you left it till 12.15 to carry out pitch inspection.
Well done ref. Well done Rovers. Well done EVERYONE.

"Radio Rovers"

 

[sod1]

the ground staff must be good at Accrington or Blackburns are just shite !

 

[BBassic]

It's a bit of a shitter but can't be helped. We've made a day of it drinking with Rovers fans and having a good laugh.

Some of them think it's political: in order to avoid a spanking before Christmas, Venkys had some involvement in the postponement.

No problem , hopefully our new signings will be available when its rescheduled. Thought we would lose today so not to fussed. Blackburn will win at home under Berg eventually so they can get that monkey off their back before we face them.
