itchen_dan Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Good news IMO. We'll still have the same number of games left and in hand as Brighton and also Bournemouth will have another game less to play.
brmbrm Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 As per title. Todays game postponed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_2/9394815.stm waterloggerd pitch
Thedelldays Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Good news IMO. We'll still have the same number of games left and in hand as Brighton and also Bournemouth will have another game less to play. good news..? another crap tuesday night away trip to the grim north..
Toomer Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 (edited) Down to 6th by the end of the day then, bloody away games being called could ruin our season as we could end up with 4 away on the bounce. Edited 19 February, 2011 by Toomer
itchen_dan Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 good news..? another crap tuesday night away trip to the grim north.. We did it against Oldham so should be able to do it again on the rearranged date
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 The sooner we get out of this hell hole of a league the better. Crappy ill equipped grounds that cant handle being rained on. Is this the most postponements in one season for us ?
beatlesaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Rochdale haven't lost a league game since 10th December. It might not be a bad one to have to play later in the season cos they are on a hot streak at the moment.
S-Clarke Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 for crying out loud, the sooner we're out of this mickey mouse league the better. Another tricky away mid-weaker to tackle added to our ever increasing backlog.
Thedelldays Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 We did it against Oldham so should be able to do it again on the rearranged date this is not oldham...we did not have the same number of fixture backlog then..this is a different game...oldham was not a re-arranged game..would rather have the points on the board
eurosaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Not good news as we will have a real backlog and have to play matches very close together at the end of the season ! I would much rather have points in the bag than games in hand ! Grrrr...
trousers Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 for crying out loud, the sooner we're out of this mickey mouse league the better. Another tricky away mid-weaker to tackle added to our ever increasing backlog. We've got a good midweek record
Ricky Redstripe Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 FFS I hate Saturdays with no match. It's boring and we'll go down in the table albeit temporarily, but it still looks crap when you look at the table and you see yourselves slipping away. Puts more pressure on to get results later.

Unless the teams around us don't win...
SaintNeil90 Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 It's the only game in England off. At the moment... In Sheffield it been heavy snow since about 6am, doubt it will be the only game off.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Down to 6th then by the end of the day. +1 The only good thing I can see about this (other than that Bournemouth and Huddersfield MIGHT draw) is that it gives us a rest before Tuesday's game against Hartlepool, whereas they have a tough game v MK dons. Maybe work for us?
Ricky Redstripe Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Unless the teams around us don't win... Let's hope. Bournemouth and Charlton to draw their games would go some way to making up for the lack of our game i suppose.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 FFS. 4 away games on the bounce is going to f*ck us up.
Saint_clark Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 FFS. 4 away games on the bounce is going to f*ck us up. Maybe not, considering our away form is better than our home.
stockportsaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Very peed off right now, surely the Football League should have something to say about teams ground-sharing with Rugby League teams. It's more than a coincidence that the Rugby League season started last week, with Rochdale Hornets playing just last Sunday, then we get the postponement today. Why no advance warning yesterday on the Rochdale FC website that there would be a pitch inspection today? I know of people who set off last night from Southampton, even got a text at 6.30 this morning from one lad setting off from the Bath area. Would have been nice to have advance notice that this might happen. Possible dates for Rochdale v Southampton to be rearranged: 15th March 29th March 12th April 19th April 3rd May Sod's Law say I'll be working in London the week we play them. :x
saintscottofthenortham Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Maybe not, considering our away form is better than our home. Yes it is better, but so many away games in one hit cannot be a good thing. Very dissappointed and as previously said, the further behind we fall the more pressure we come under. That of course, could work in our favour... but then it could just as easily go the other way.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 It's time for the North to man up and stop calling games off because it's raining. They should be used to it, FFS.
fanimal Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 This is beyond a joke now, it has not rained for 2 days, they knew rain wasforecast overnight so why not PREPARE! Saints should complain to the FL, we let these poxy teams play on our carpet so how about some f***** effort in return!? Grrrrr
Window Cleaner Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Have the team already travelled up to Rochdale ? I presumed they were going yesterday and not come back until after the Hartlepool match.That would leave them hanging around for 4 days without a game.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Let's hope. Bournemouth and Charlton to draw their games would go some way to making up for the lack of our game i suppose. I expect Huddersfield and Charlton to win today.If they don't that will be a big bonus for us.

I know of people who set off last night from Southampton, even got a text at 6.30 this morning from one lad setting off from the Bath area. Would have been nice to have advance notice that this might happen. But we did have 'advance notice'... As you highlighted above, the pitch was likely to be more prone to heavy rain due to the preceding rugby game. We knew that in advance. And the weather forecast this time yesterday was pretty much nailed on that the area was going to be deluged overnight. We knew that in advance. Ok, nothing was guaranteed but there were clear indications that the game would be in jeopardy. It's thus not surprising (to me) that the game was called off. Anyone setting off this morning / last night would have known they were taking a risk given the circumstances (crap pitch + crap weather)
alehouseboys Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 As late in the season as possible please as this gives us an opportunity to get a lot of tickets for a match, hopefully, at a crucial end to the season. We'll get just 800 for Brighton and around 1200 at Brentford. At Rochdale, I know it'll be another long drag oop north midweek but we could have over 3600 in the away end. Nice end btw.
Lets B Avenue Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 this is not oldham...we did not have the same number of fixture backlog then..this is a different game...oldham was not a re-arranged game..would rather have the points on the board Pedant alert. Oldham was scheduled for Saturday 8th Jan. It was re-arranged as we were in the FA Cup 3rd round.
stockportsaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Looking at our fixtures and theirs, we won't be playing them till April: Date Rochdale schedule 15th March Notts County 29th March Charlton 12th April free 19th April free 3rd May free Glad it's not going to be March, or we'd be playing 8 games in the month.

I presumed they were going yesterday and not come back until after the Hartlepool match.That would leave them hanging around for 4 days without a game. Yes. They had planned to stay oop north for the Hartlepool game. Assume they'll still stay up there. Perhaps Cortese will give Sir Alex a bell to get them tickets for the Utd vs Crawley cup game...
Cabrone Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Not good - yet more midweek away day backlog to work through at the business end of the season. I hope the physios are making the most of these mini breaks because we are going to need everyone fit to play our constipated fixture list.
alehouseboys Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 whether we will have 3600 people who will have the time(and or money) to travel to Rochdale on a Tuesday evening is less certain. If it's end-of-season it may well coincide with the game that gets us up or into the play-offs, if that's the case I'd think it's more certain.

Why can't we fill in on Saturday 26th March, must be a free week-end because of the JPT I suppose. Strange leaving a Saturday vacant like that and having to catch up matches hundreds of miles away on Tuesdays.

Perhaps Cortese will give Sir Alex a bell to get them tickets for the Utd vs Crawley cup game... Why would they want to be bored for 95 minutes though.A visit to a WI tea party would probably be more entertaining. Man U -Crawley will be a complete non match,even if Man have their U12s on the pitch.
Papa Shango Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Very annoying. Hadn't travelled that far before we got the news at least. Was looking forward to this one though!!!! What else is there to do on a rainy Saturday?

Strange leaving a Saturday vacant like that and having to catch up matches hundreds of miles away on Tuesdays. Would be a bit tough on Rochdale, playing 2 games in less than 24 hours including the journey back from Hartlepool the night before.
raucebysaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 I believe 26th March is free as it is an "international weekend". Was looking forward to today - b0ll0cks!!
Didcot Saint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 This is beyond a joke now, it has not rained for 2 days, they knew rain wasforecast overnight so why not PREPARE! Saints should complain to the FL, we let these poxy teams play on our carpet so how about some f***** effort in return!? Grrrrr This is spot on. Ill prepared pathetic Noddy Clubs. Get us out of this League, pleeeeease!
HopperSaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 Arrived in Manchester at 9.39am having left central at 5.09 this morning. This league is a farce and the sooner we get out it the better. No rain in Manchester at the moment. Why did they not put covers on overnight?!
musesaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 This is what happens when you allow teams from the frozen wastelands of the north into a league Northerners out!

This league is a farce and the sooner we get out it the better. No rain in Manchester at the moment. Why did they not put covers on overnight?! Perhaps they haven't got any covers.Sustaining League 1 football on 2500 gates must be extremely precarious.Perhaps it didn't arrange them to play us this week-end. Rochdale could well fancy their chances of a play-off place are better if they play us mid-week.
Legod Third Coming Posted 19 February, 2011 Posted 19 February, 2011 This is spot on. Ill prepared pathetic Noddy Clubs. Get us out of this League, pleeeeease! Ditto
