Blackpool game in Doubt

Rearranged for Wednesday 12th January at 8pm. So that's another two days i need to book off work, if i want to go to this

They should forfeit the points. If there's a safety issue for fans, that's one thing. But this is all down to their ****ty ground and ****ty facilities. If postponements were costing them points, you can be sure they'd have got undersoil heating installed a long time ago.

Indeed Craig. Read what their chairman says as well. He islovibg the games getting cancelled because he reckons it causes big problems for opposition teams. He's in no rush to sort the ground out.

One of their fellas on the radio this morning, claiming that they're getting undersoil installed at the end of this season.

He said about them having to have their stadium upgraded and the media facilities improved for the start of this season, because they are PL requirements - undersoil heating, stupidly enough, isnt a PL requirement.

They reckon each postponement costs them £500k in fines, while undersoil heating costs around £700k-£1m to install.

So already, with their two postponements this season, that's cost them in fines, the same as what undersoil heating would've cost.

We have 3 away games in a row after the Wolves and Bolton game. I bet Hodgson's having nightmares.

If NESV have anything about them, that run could finish him.

Although, if they had anything about them, he'd be out already.

Everton's game is off too though.

That means there would have been a good chance ours would have been off if we played at Anfield as both grounds have undersoil heating.

Nah mate, that's not true.

Some everton official was on radio this morning and said their game is off because all the pipes at Woodison are frozen, so there'd be no toilet or hot food/drink facilities, no heating etc

Blamed it on Woodison being such an old ground

Maybe the bitters should turn their system on


The club reported there were "several miles of frozen pipes, many of which burst during the course of Christmas Day night".
