Someone closer to Crawley in a WhatsApp group saying the same. They've called this off too early. I'm saying this match could have easily gone ahead. The Crawley weather forecast indicated this was going to be the case too. Frustrating, was looking forward to a few beers after work and hopping on a train to watch Town.

There's a middle ground between calling a 3pm game off at 1:15pm on the same day and calling a 7:45pm game off at 5:45pm the day before though.

Yes, because in both cases they've got it wrong, and in this case if they'd bothered to pay attention to the overnight weather forecast instead of some of the terminal bores on here we'd have been likely able to play the match this evening. gary jones

On the fishy? Never!) However living in South London the ground is pretty soft today, which is surprising. I wonder if all the criticism this weekend has made the Ref's go to far the wrong way. I think, on the face of it with limited knowledge, calling yesterday seems a little to early. Don't see why they couldn't have assessed this morning. But with the fixture pile up across the leagues I can't see them wanting to do that when they don't need to... so who knows!!   All Town aren’t we @GTFCLondon

No Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes Hurst out
