I’d be surprised if they listen but if Nicko is to be believed we are trying to fight our corner and I think that’s a good sign. It’s also good that the EFL are listening to the clubs and allowing them to suggest alternatives. They could have just said straight away that it’s a full replay.

Max hotel claim is £100 per person (max 24 people) Same for travel.

I dunno, I think it kind of seems like a fair resolution, it gives them what they were realistically playing for in the point yet rewards us for our advantage yet still penalises us for having a shit pitch that should be immediately rectified. Efl and both managers to agree that it’s for on the teams and the rest of the league

Aah, fair enough. Who decides where they stay? 😁

Maximum claim allowed by Ipswich would be £4,800. Is Pasha that tight…

Haha I love your creativity could you imagine at the end of the season how this would work out though it’s either 0 points 1 point or 3 points unfortunately

Because that’s in the regulations for replays. The travel expenses come out of match receipts, plus if appropriate hotel accommodation for up to 24 people

I heard that too. It's crazy that Rovers wouldn't want to be part of a globally successful brand - I can't think of one reason why. The obvious Rovers link between Adam and Gary has been utilised in this latest advertising campaign.

Why would Rovers be paying for Ipswich ?

Arsenal going ultra defensive in a big match again. 1-0 down after 9 minutes. Going well….

Ipswich wouldn't accept it. In a game they were going to get zero points in, they know they've a high chance of 3 in the replay. No way they'd agree to 1 point. They will be desperate for a replay because they were going to lose that game and now 3 points is on offer with a replay. It's part of the reason they pushed for it to be abandoned, the 3 points had got away from them. They know what they're doing and will get their way but the ref had no choice.

So theoretically - other than the fact it hasnt been done before - there'd be nothing preventing the EFL saying that the last 10 mins plus ET should be played 11 v 10. It won't happen but it does specifically provide for it in the rules "may be ordered to be replayed in full or in part". Wonder if faced with the prospect of having to pay for Ipswich to come up and maybe stay somewhere overnight Pasha would rather concede the 3 points?

At that point they’d obviously been told it was off the issue was our side didn’t announce it to the fans I’m of the opinion now that we’ll just got and win the rematch, life gives you lemons let’s make lemonade

If what I suggested was carried out it wouldn't matter if the outlet was underwater, in fact it would be more effective if it was underwater.

I felt that Rovers were poor in their communication yesterday. We only heard the PA twice. One to say the game was suspended and another to say it's been abandoned. The Rovers safety officer should have been in constant communication with the match officials and this relayed over the PA system.

It would sent a very interesting precedent for any team needing a point for promotion/avoiding relegation in their final game…👀

There does seem to be a growing 'victim culture' in football with fans of many clubs believing the authorities are against them. After conceding a blatant penalty last week Burnley fans were chanting 'Premier League, corrupt as f***)', a chant which I have heard many times when decisions go against teams.

Gary Aspden also wanted us to have a Spezial kit and to be first team to do so, but Pasha vetoed it 😅. Can’t wait for us to have some low quality Castore kits instead though….

The reaction of the Ipswich players coming on before any announcement was a disgrace to the game. If they'd have come on after the announcement i.e. to thank their fans for support I can understand that. But to come on before indicated "we were 1 0 down with ten men but we've managed to void the game". Unprofessional, unsporting and a disgrace to football.

Here’s the rule:

Fair enough, hard to tell these days with some people seeming to believe the EFL is intent on destroying us!

Seems like a common sense approach to me. I don't think the EFL will do common sense though. They will hide behind their (inadequate) rule book.

I know - would require a special kind of idiocy (or biased) to advocate that the pitch was playable. Was just a laugh but i noted that the choice of wording by Rovers is "consulted" - sounds much better (to our fans) than "agreed"

Highlights. The difference between the pitch at the beginning and at the end is chalk and cheese.

As an alternative , how would people feel with 3 points on offer, 2 points for us, 1 for them, everyone kind of wins?
