In the old days, fa cup replays were played in the same week as the original game, then the police got involved and said they needed at least a week to organise their force. So how are these rearranged games getting played in the same week ?0
-
Maybe because it’s the same police force involved.3

The Blackpool game isn't off yet, but there's a pitch inspection at 8:30. I can see more games across the country being postponed this morning0

I think we put them in because undersoil heating is a Premier League requirement and it was seen as more cost effective to install the pipes when the pitch was being dug up rather than have to do it again in the future. I would imagine the business case must have factored in the life of the pipes which would have to be a long one although it is us!Bedsaddick said:
We did have but strangely it was never connected up. God knows if it’s still there , or if it is , what state it’s in .Lewis Coaches said:

A championship club unable to fulfil a fixture due to a frozen surface, where temperatures have been known for ages and, let's be honest, haven't been extreme, is farcical.

Blackpool off. Our game being called off yesterday was definitely the right decision.killerandflash said:The Blackpool game isn't off yet, but there's a pitch inspection at 8:30. I can see more games across the country being postponed this morning1 -
Yes, you have to give credit where it is due. The ref has to look at the forecast and factor that in.killerandflash said:

So 5 hours up there Monday. 5 Hours back Wednesday morning. 5 Hours up there Friday and 5 hours back down on Saturday. Then 5 Hours back up Monday or Tuesday. Followed by 5 hours back on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning?Exiled_Addick said:
Stay there for two weeks nearly? The way some of you talk on here it's like anything north of Watford is a remote foreign country. It's Preston not Outer Mongolia.Pelling1993 said:Surely it makes sense for the team to stay up north until the 21st now? Can probably use a local sides training facilities.
That sound far worse than just staying up there for a week/10 days.0 -
Not surprised the games off, lawns still frozen.0

Yes we do, and we're in League 1 anyway where we play tinpot outfits like Burton and Crawley, Preston are meant to be a respectable Championship sideLewis Coaches said:

My understanding is that the pipework was installed, and that was it. We do not have undersoil heating as far as I am aware.

It's also pretty much impossible to get to - there's no cross country rail. It'd take you about four hours 🤣Wheresmeticket said:
"Drop in"? It's 100 miles east of Preston.The Prince-e-Paul said:
Exactly. If anyone is oop North, with no game, why not drop in to the National Railway Museum at York. There's more filth in there than Pulse and Cocktails!!Hal1x said:
its not like they have family, friends or other commitments is it!Exiled_Addick said:

As part of an audit in the summer 2022, undersoil heating is mentioned in the energy efficiency section0 -
I don't believe it. Also in view of the floodlights, they haven't replaced the led as stated here when fluorescent run out.sam3110 said:

Roland never connected the boiler up after replacing the pitch.1 -
Mate has gone to watch Swindon - Crewe today, and this is his current view. Game has been paused due to the fog.

Apologies. It was just a joking thought if any peeps were hanging around. York is quite a pleasant tourist spot. Preston, hmmm.Leroy Ambrose said:

I think, and stand to be corrected, that we plan to have the necessary bolier/s when and if we have to have them. I don't think there is any plan to hire them. I would imagine the pipes that have been laid will be capped so would be usable quite a way into the future if necessary.1

When's the draw for the fourth round?0

Sunday after the Arsenal v Man Utd game at 3. Only 3 FA Cup games on Tuesday. Don't know if our game at Preston could be on BBC or ITV now?up_the_valley said:When's the draw for the fourth round?2 -
I do not expect seemany if any of our regular eleven start the game, soexpect a 3 -0 defeat.0

If anyone’s interested, the coach for the rearranged game has just left Larkfield with a 20.30 departure time. Unfortunately the coach for the original game left last Monday, and after hearing about the postponement y’day, are currently in Belfast after taking an alternative route home via the Irish sea. They hope to be back this Thursday morning all being well
the lemon drizzle was gone by Wednesday last week just after we left Newport Pagnell
the chap next to me has spent the last 3 days meticulously running through FA Cup ties he’d like to have if we get through to round 412 - Sponsored links:

Three FA Cup games Tuesday
Orient v Derby
Mansfield v Wigan
Preston v Charlton0 -
Any chance of this happening? I don't think that they will change the TV schedule.KettsJohn said:

Why the lol? Does that mean no, there’s no chance?
Also, is there now a possibility that it will be on Charlton TV?0 -
Wasn’t me who lol’d but that isn’t how TV deals work. The companies pay to broadcast X number of games. The Orient game will be on somewhere as it was already picked and I imagine ours will be on overseas as it was going to be. No FA Cup games can be broadcast directly by the club because of the broadcast deal in placejimmymelrose said:Why the lol? Does that mean no, there’s no chance?

Do wonder if NJ’s got different teams lined up, depending on who we get in the next round.msomerton said:I do not expect seemany if any of our regular eleven start the game, soexpect a 3 -0 defeat.1 -
There is no chance this will on ITV or BBC tv.
Charlton TV are not permitted to show live FA Cup matches.

Bunkbeds in some hostel in Doncaster or something can’t be that expensive!Off_it said:

Wonder what the 'old' criteria was for postponement or abandonment, and when the rules changed?0 -
Joking aside. Avoid any too good to be true, cheap hotels in Donny as they are used by homeless services and are not recommended. Having worked in the city for 20 years I can inform that hotels have changed their names and rebranded, such is the stain on their reputations.se9addick said:
