No, don't come on here giving reasons, especially not backing them up with evidence! It's most definitely the fault of someone, be it Hurst, Fenty, the conference, the ref, or the groundsman... despite this being the first match we've had called off dus to a waterlogged BP since February 2012, it's most definitely a cause for hyperbole... it just cannot have a genuine explanation, there must be more to it!


Yes I agree we must have someone to fcking blame musn't we! Alot of people on this site sit on their ars es at home critizing anything and everything... they need to
fooking get out more!

It's so easy to critize other people from afar when they've no real idea what's involved and how much effort and dedication goes into running a club ..."Oh why wasn;t it called off earlier, I could have stayed at home, had another wa nk and watched Jeremy Kyle if I'd known!" ....

It won't be long before people are putting in a claim for emotional distress when a match gets cancelled!

" I don't like Paul Hurst's interview techinque.. can I have my money back!"

This country's getting more like the USA everyday ffs!

Plastic sheeting for fck sake!

An while I'm at it that Bruce Springsteen bloke can fck off back to the USA!

I'm very calm and chilled, it's not worth getting stressed about, there's far more important things in my life to worry about!

Or you just accept that people can comment how they like on a football forum about their favourite club?

Of course fans should comment on this or any forum but it's the criticism about things that they have no comprehension about that is annoying. It's easy to blame the club about the cancellation but if you have no comprehension about the full circumstances leading to that decision then surely any criticism is totally unjustified?

No one is blaming the groundsman who over the years has done a fantastic job with the playing surface at BP.  

Over the decades there have been calls going to out to the fans to come and sweep snow off the pitch and help brush water off the pitch.  We have had worse deluges and snow fall and managed to get games on. It seems we haven't even tried to get this on and are happy with extra mid week games.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Other than the game against Dover it will be our only mid week game, hardly the end of the world and not worth potentially ruining the playing surface if considered unplayable in my opinion.

Just unfortunate circumstances and timing. The ground would be a bit hard after frost and this would effect how quickly water could get away. Quite a lot of snow fell in a short time and melted almost straight away leaving lots of standing water, also more rain was forecast.  Nobody's fault.

Why doesn't Fenty just put a roof on the ground,

Then we will have no problems.

For once nature triumphed. I'm not sure how we would have mobilised the army required to get water off the pitch (presumably all equipped with drinking straws). All those people walking on the pitch would have done more harm than good. A stupid amount of water one way or another came down on Saturday morning. Sweeping snow off is a different proposition entirely to getting rid of water. I remember some years ago going to Chester in August where the game was called off for waterlogging
