Blackburn v Brighton is now OFF!

Balls just arrivied

It's the only game in the top 2 leagues to be off - Blackburn have some explaining to do !!

 

[SurreySeagulls]

That's what i thought, quite poor really. How often do you see games being called off for Waterlogged pitches in the Premiership?

Sunderland v Reading in August!!! was off for a waterlogged pitch

As Lawrenson just said, means a mid-week trip for Albion fans for the re-arranged fixture. Blackburn, mid-week, not nice. Blackburn on a Saturday is not nice but mid-week?

 

[Tummy Burger]

That sucks.

This is the point where , if I were Gus. I would make the team coach stop at a pub in the middle of nowhere. Meet all the fans coaches and get the players to buy a few rounds. Would LOVE to think that one day that will happen.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Apparently the game just up the road at Accrington is still on at present. Maybe their groundstaff decided to do their jobs & gave the pitch a good forking...

Unless we both get knocked out of FA cup 3rd round

Given our lack of defenders, from the club's point of view this is not a bad thing. Feel desperately sorry for the fans who have been making their way there since stupid o'clock this morning, though.

Me plus 3 will now go watch the Watford v Forest match.

We were about half hour north of Brum.

Don't blame you. I would be straight on the internet checking out the fixtures for another fixture. Not sure that would be top of the list, but enjoy.

Hope all that have gone up, now have a safe journey back

Drive careful guys

Great idea, Charlie on the karaoke machine, Tanno organising a game of killer and Gus at the bar with Tony's credit card.

 

[Notters]

I feel for you, you get any compensation when things like this happen?

Yes.hope he gets his free train travel back

YEP. Sounds great doesn't it. Hell it is Christmas. Come on Gus, get a round in for those poor fans.

 

[Hyperion]

Re-arranged to 22nd Jan? A few days before Blackburn at home?

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

The BBC are asking 'Any Brighton fans already in Lancashire? I, well a well-known route planner, reckon it's a four-and-three-quarter-hour drive from the Amex to Ewood Park.

These postponements are doing nobody any favours. Turn round and hit the M6? Or stay around and make a day of it. You could always head to Helmshore Mills Textile Museum. I've heard it's cracking at this time of year...'

text 81111 if you are.

Looks perfectly playable from a picture that I've just seen! The Blackburn ground staff need to get their forks out and give it a bloody good forking! And then the game might have gone ahead!
I think Blackburn wanted it off, an extra week to recouperate for them!

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.

Wigan v arsenal is about to kick off, plenty of seats there

Not surprised with that f***ing annoying drum. Why do clubs allow some (usually) fat twat in their stadium, carrying a drum that they insist on banging tunelessly for the whole game?
