Did the club make enough effort yesterday ?

Yeah fair enough about the covers etc. I don't know enough about what is fashionable in terms of frost provension!

My main point though is that the club could keep fans better informed and that people shouldn't really have to rely on NSC or The Argus - both of which are full of rumour and counter-rumour.

For example, did the club send out club texts letting people know about both inspections etc?

I also cannot believe for one second that the club and the ref were not in constand dialogue about inspections / the state of the pitch etc. To suggest the club did not know about a second inspection is clutching at straws...



Agreed. But having been told the game was definitely on after the noon inspection, how many people were listening in to Southern Counties to check at 1.15pm?

Is it really that much of a problem? I was driving from Canterbury and knew there was an inspection at 12. Even if I had known about the second inspection, I wouldn't have turned back. I got a club text at 1.15 to say the game was off and then turned round at Gatwick.

I'd had a round-trip journey of about 150 miles so it was a disappointment but it never crossed my mind to blame anyone. It happens at most lower division clubs once in a while and it certainly didn't come as a great surprise.

If someone at the club saved your life you wouldn't thank them, just complain that they'd done it in the wrong way.

just to expand on the Undersoil Heating argument, heres what Colchesters Chairman had to say after their game at their new gaff was postponed:



Colchester United chief executive Steve Bradshaw has defended their reasons for not having underground heating at their new Community Stadium.
Their match with Tranmere was postponed on Saturday due to a frozen pitch.
Bradshaw said: "The Football League have recently gone away from undersoil heating as a concept and have suggested no new grounds bring it in.
"There was also a prohibitive cost, I think about £500,000, which in fairness we just didn't have."
