    Is it even possible the club is not going to make a statement today?

    I would like to add that this decision by the ref is absolutely outrageous. In future he should wait until we are 3-1 down before making the decision to abandon the game

    I imagine the new Sporting Director is as we speak having someone strung up by the bollox.

    Why do people keep saying they are embarrassed? Are you getting mixed up with 'annoyed'? I'm annoyed that the game's not on, but would rather that than another Doncaster. I get embarrassed if I trip over or if I have to stand up and talk in front of strangers. I don't get embarrassed if a referee calls my team's game off...I get annoyed.

    We're embarrassed for the club! We've been ridiculed on Talksport
    How have we been ridiculed on Talksport?
    Every League One and Two game went ahead, every conference game went ahead - how can a Championship club not get the pitch playable! The club should be embarrassed!

    Surely we're looking at fine from the league seeing as we cut costs at the beginning of the season rather than fix the issue? Especially after the state our pitch got in last season?

    The club should be embarrassed, people look forward to the weekend and those poor Barnsley fans will have spent 8 hours in a coach for no reason!

    The games were going ahead in Charlton Park ffs!

    Well perhaps it's just the way I read it but you suggest that the pitch is a disgrace which implies it's not very good and possibly unplayable and yet you go on to say "all this crap about safety" and if it was rugby it would be played.

    Btw. I doubt I'm more educated than you. Just more polite.

    Last game today for Dave Archer. Shame his 17 great years had to end like this. Still, wouldn't happen at Ebbsfleet.

    Could it be that the water that drained away from Charlton Park (because its at the top of the hill) has ended up in The Valley below ?

    The Dome was on all night and taken off this morning. Groundstaff thought it was better than the Sheff Wed game yesterday so they thought it was playable. That's all I know !

    Hmmmm....seems it was the ground staff who decided an inspection wasn't required yesterday and are going to be hung out to dry for this one.

    Notice CP says "possible game" in reference to Oxford on Tuesday. They might as well call that off now.

    In the summer the options on the table were 20k to do the minimum or 28k to fix the issues.

    You know which option was taken.

    Had a good drink in the Radical but would much rather be at the game. Sorry for those from both clubs who had to travel a long way.

    Some over reactions but some sad WUM from off it also

    Not right but the blame lies squarely with a regime that wouldn't pay for basic maintainance let alone improvements.

    Sort it out Kate

    Sorry but the blame does not just lie with Jiminez however much some would like it to. £20k or £28k worth of maintenance does not occur over night.

    It was only a coincidence that we got taken over a week ago - imagine how bad the pitch would be if matches are still getting postponed even with a newly acquired dome over it?

    Maybe if the dome had been kept over the fuck up of a pitch last night , the game wouldn't have been called off

    No it occurs over the close season in the summer months, which was when Paddy asked for the money and was told to do one.

    This is the question that needs to be answered. The weather forecast has been the same all week.. Heavy overnight rain Fri - Sat. I just don't believe that the dome couldn't have come down early Saturday.

    From Club statement "The ground staff did not deem it necessary to call in a match official to conduct a preliminary pitch inspection on the Friday prior to the game against the Tykes, as they were confident the surface was in a better condition than at a comparative stage before the recent matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Sheffield Wednesday."
    There is an error of judgement here; either the referee or the Club!

    Clem, what I would say to that is , were the Groundstaff asked by Senior Management if it needed inspecting ?
