I'm sorry we've tried to play this match twice now and it's been unsuccessful. Time for the FA to step in and toss a coin.

Is just astounds me that this type of incident happens year, after year, after year with this competition, and nobody of any standing within the Conference has taken the FA to task over it.

It's utterly farcical, and I can only imagine that the people in charge of the trophy enjoy their day out at Wembley and their bit of the limelight too much to worry about actually running a competent, efficient competition.

Happens every season with Gateshead i was so happy seeing the fixtures that we had Gateshead early and then we draw then out in the FA Trophy.

If Gateshead can produce video evidence that each of the pitch inspections - one last Wednesday at 12.30 p.m and two today (at 11.45 a.m. and 14.30 p.m.) were conducted and concluded properly, then end of story. I notice that they have not said on their website that Geoff Eltringham (Football League referee from Tyneside) was there at the 2.30 p.m. inspection, whereas he was at the other 2.

I remain unconvinced - particularly as I knew there was no point in travelling today (not that I would have).

I have just looked on the Gateshead forum and they seem to be not to happy about our comments on this thread  

comments like
disappointed but sensible, on the plus side it p****s Grimsby off :wink: who we all hate

what a horrible club who i hope never get promoted,

I agree. Anything that further antagonises our fishy friends is good by me. If its off again on Wednesday can we make sure it's not announced till about 5pm please?

Think we must have hit a nerve

So...... if the game is off through bad weather on Friday with no hope of a reasonable thawing / drying out of the ground, could the Nuneaton game be re-arranged quickly.... or is that too much to hope for????
