    Doesn't the referee always inspect the pitch when he gets to a ground?

    I would assume so. But the club don't tweet about that and follow it up by saying "we'll let you know what is happening asap"
    Well, if a previous match was called off then I would assume it makes sense for the next ref along to want to inspect the pitch "officially".

    Let's just wait and see before collectively shitting our pants (for once).

    This is a really poor show. I fail to accept that the pitch would be in any worse condition now than it would have been at 9am. A local ref should have been called in to take a look. Feel sorry for Barnsley fans and addicks who have spent money getting there. Don't be surprised if we get fined.

    What's embarrassing?
    That we can't prepare a pitch with several days notice - but worse, that we can't tell it's unplayable ourselves, it takes a ref to arrive with 2 hours till KO to tell us.

    'Safety grounds'...............is that on the pitch, or in and around the stadium?

    that is unreal -sunny day, poor weather forecast next week, shall we default to away games? Or transfer to Charlton Park FFS.

    Great. Really glad I spent £60 on coming down on the train with my misses for today s game. Maybe the club would fancy reimbursing my wasted money!

    I hate to say it but this club is a fucking joke at the moment . Are you telling me this decision couldn't be made yesterday ?? 180 round trip for fuck all . Pissed off doesn't describe how I feel . What a disgrace.

    Absolute disgrace. Postponed less than two hours before kick-off. What about all those (including Barnsley folk) who are travelling to the game? Shameful.

    TJ & MS are still haunting us and will continue to do so for the rest of the season I fear.

    Utter shambles & embarrassment.
    Surely we will be in trouble with the league and rightly so.
    I trust the Barnsley fans will receive full recompense.
