Pitch inspection *GAME CALLED OFF*
Comments

Welling is off, was going to go to that, then looked at VCD Athletic and that's off too0

I've just EMailed the Club.
150kw boiler should suffice to keep the frost off - about £4.5k

We should be fined for having under soil heating if we have it and the game called off.1
-
To be fair, ebbfleet have a bloody good groundsman. No way their game would be off3

I actually had a look at Dulwich Hamlet as that's where I normally go when Charlton aren't on but thought I'd give it a swerve after I saw who they were playing !i_b_b_o_r_g said:

Except it doesn't, does it?cafc-west said:If you've ever had a single storey extension done on a house you have the footings/groundwork/preparation all done as if you are going to have a second storey built on top at some point in the future. Last thing you want to do is to have to dig it all out and start again. You may never have it done as its expensive. Think the under soil pipework was done with the same thought - if we ever reach the premier league we don't want to dig it all up and start again. If rules do not stipulate you have to use it below the PL then you don't have to use it. Would rather the boiler money go on players/team development until it has to be done. I want a change of ownership as much as most people - but none of this seems unreasonable IMO. And, don't think its a conspiracy or contrived so we don't play today - just extremely cold weather in the valley - but I'm glad its going to be postponed so we can, hopefully, get some players back.

Just leaving charlton to return home. Some fans just got off the train and no idea game is off....I assume game was called off early due to distance of opposition. Lots of games called off early today...from teams in the south playing northern based teams. Sun is shining now.0

The game at the Meridian is on! -6 overnight my arse. It was colder last week. They didn't want to play. End of.LenGlover said:
Ebbsfleet, Blackheath RFC, Dagenham and Redbridge and East Thurrock are all playing.i_b_b_o_r_g said:Are either Ebbslfleet, Dartford or Welling at home today and has their games been called off?

This is true but you wouldn't go round bragging that you had a second storey and then when your mates came round, say it just needs some walls and a roof but the prep us there.cafc-west said:If you've ever had a single storey extension done on a house you have the footings/groundwork/preparation all done as if you are going to have a second storey built on top at some point in the future.

Under soil heating pipes being installed would suggest that we have under soil heating when they should of said that work was being done to future proof the pitch. No mention of under soil heating. It's just spin. Just another reason not to believe anything that comes out of the club4 -
It may not be a requirement outside of the PL but sureoynit would have made sense to have fitted it when the pitch work was carried out.cafc-west said:Two good videos on YouTube now explaining the decision and all the precautions taken. The groundsman explaining why the undersoil pipes are there but no bolier (as not a requiremnent outside the premier league). The referee explaining how the pitch is solid in parts and unplayable. The conspiracy lovers will still find a reason to doubt.
After all, we've heard enough times that Uncle Roland saved the club by sorting out the pitch.1 -
temp on dashboard was showing -4 at 9am this morning in Herts! So it has been and is cold!0

Perhaps we could sign a network boiler while the January window is still open.1
-
Then again it would probably break down by half time.0

If you aren't happy, boycott the replay - let them know it's not good enough. We are supposed to be a professional football club running a multi-million pound business. We look like decidedly amateurish at times. If this has been contrived to postpone the match, we need a huge fine in order to get Dozy's attention.4

Not sure QPR's pitch is bathed in sunshine or a million miles away.
Lets not find excuses if we have US Heating why wasnt it used.
If we dont have US Heating why are we not clearer about it.
If we sort of have it prepared but not quite why have the 'millions pumped in' not been used to finished the project?
If the CEO thought we had it but turns out we dont how is she a CEO?
If the manager tells EK Addicks the game will be on, panic over. What happened Karl?
And if I need to wake up and realise we are in the Third Division, I am very much aware, just angry that it is the richest man in the clubs long history that took me there.4 -

If they wanted it on, it would have been on.4

Exactly this. Credit where's it due - well played (excuse the pun) CAFCMuttleyCAFC said:I don't think not busting a gut to get a game on when you have an injury crisis is a big deal in that context.

Not everyone who works at The Valley is an admirer of the regime; other people who used to work at The Valley now work at other clubs, some at The Valley have worked at other clubs. Football is a very small world.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
I don't doubt that we probably were, but why would that info be shared with someone from another club?Airman Brown said:Was contacted last night by someone at another club who said Charlton were trying to get the game off. Was firmly denied by #cafc source.

Utter f###ing shambles of a club
You appear to enjoy CAFC bad news stories.
But since these clowns took over there has been a serious shortage of good news stories0 -
@Redmidland Will there be a 'no match' thread?5

When I was at the ticket office last Saturday, I saw them wheeling back a very large set of heat lamps.AllLeftFoot said:Just a guess, but imagine if there had been exactly the same weather conditions at the end of last week - and with the decent sized crowd expected v Millwall - somehow the pitch would still have been perfectly playable come Saturday morning.

Called it yesterday that it would be called off. A mixture of no boilers, many injuries and cold weather was always going to be a factor in no game occurring.
The Football League normally want these games rearranged as quickly as possible so it could be arranged for Tuesday week (31st Jan) or the 21st Feb.
With Rochdale and Oldham away in February on Tuesday nights, there is no guarantee those will take place that month, which could lead to a backlog of fixtures and us playing twice a week for a while.
Anyone remember New Years Day 2003 when West Ham pleaded with the ref to call of the fixture due a mixture of poor weather, poor form and injuries. It bit them on the arse 3 weeks later when we beat them.
Let's hope Karma does not strike on us when we play Scunthorpe in the rearranged game.0 -
