Sod Gateshead... fans need fookin binoculars to see the pitch its that far away ( which probably benefits their fickle 500 )
let 'em have the tie and let's get on with some proper business... Hurst should send the kids and those who sit on the bench
if we have to fulfil this bloody daft fixture... Heed probably only get folk thru the gate who are banned at Newcastle anyway judging
by the number of their shirts inside the ground on match days... way ay man.. it muss be tuff up tyneside like...

(d) Replays which are Postponed or Abandoned
(i) When a replayed match has been postponed, or is abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes and neither Club being at fault, it shall be played on the same ground as directed by The FA.

This part of referees rules - rule 11 d is specific to the FA Trophy.

Seems to me there is no neutral person deciding whether any of the clubs are at fault or not.

Hence, the home team could play the situation for weeks, if they wanted to.

This is why I think The Heed can be accused of breaking the "through no fault" clause - they don't cover their pitch, have not made efforts to improve drainage, and _knowing the weather forecast_ and the fact it's January, chose to go to replay rather than settle on the day. intercourse the fact it's January and they can't be blamed for the weather, they can be blamed for knowing it's January and not trying to mitigate.
Personally, I think we should be trying to engender a winning spirit and do the promotion and cup double- intercourse the negativity of "we're in a tin pot cup" - there's been enough of that - let's say we can win both - get that positive vibe out.

The weather for Wednesday is poor so I suggest we postpone the game now,

Rearrange it for Thursday when the forecast is a lot better

Then send the juniors to play the match.

Not sure anyone has had the idea to send the youth team yet? Is this something we've looked into?
