I am not sure what they were expecting by complaining? 3 points?

That was never a possibility but a kick up the proverbial for the ref should have been on the cards. It has been said he stayed over so why wasn't an inspection done at 9.00 am to save away supporters traveling?

I doubt we'll ever hear the answer to that either!

Because no pitch inspection was needed it was not a problem it only became a issue when the match referee turned up how can you blame the referee, hopefully the area is playable tomorrow.

You can blame the referee for not inspecting earlier in the day as I said above!

Give it a lick of green paint so the ref can't find the patch, that should ward off any chance of postponing the game😘

Been good weather today and look promising for the foreseeable.. sunshine and a breeze today will do it the world of good!

Just a thought mind, could we have used commercial grow lamp type things for the "area" and blasted seed into it?
I'm no grass expert so don't have a go for thinking it^^

There had been months of rain all over the country so of course there was a potential problem, the ref was in the area & being paid so absolutely he should have given it a once over earlier in the day, that way he would’ve had the chance to see the problem areas and save 1000 people travelling for no reason.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

There isn't even any grass to be 'loose'!
