This health and safety bollocks seems to have gained a life of its own with my generation so I reckon I belong to a different era. Not sure if people were tougher once or actually embodied that keep calm and carry on mantra but can’t possibly play or watch football in the snow

You'd think the Scunny v Shrews game would be off too with it being on the east coast.

No you wouldn't, they're 200 miles apart.

If it’s to do with fan safety they should release statements and make announcements saying those who choose to go to the game do so at their own risk and Gillingham fc (or whoever) will take no responsibility for anyone who chooses to be there as they have been warned not to go 

As a fan if you don’t like the terms or the risk don’t go.

Honest question is what's changed since last night? If the forecasters got it wrong and an unexpected turn for the worst has happened  then ok. The situation should have been inspected at first light today. 

Hope the media get on top of this story.

I know, but they're both on the east coast. Amber warnings all the way down it. The weather front isn't just hitting Kent.:rolleyes: :lol:

Exactly and assuming their chairman is still named Scally he's been known to draw some attention. I wouldn't be surprised if he's had arguments with the police in the past because he's spoken out on numerous other issues. Nobody at Ewood is going to do anything about it so its a shame Scally hasn't publicly called out the police over this.

They knew how many were travelling, they knew the forecast, they knew that end wasn't covered = they knew the postponement was inevitable based on their procedures re H&S.

Utter clowns.

 ....and they knew long before 1130,

If I had been travelling I would sue Kent Police for the inconvenience. That's what fans travelling should do. 

 

Nah. I'm fairly sure you're waffling, so lets leave it there, okay?

Must be incredibly frustrating for the people that were travelling down or had made arrangements. To echo what others have said, I hope the club lays something on for them.

Exactly. Should have been called off as soon as they heard the forecast. They don't have the infrastructure to cope with a bit of snow. Their administrators are incompetent.

No I'm just speaking the truth. Call this waffle if you want but I imagine the club may refund even those fans travelling on the new date. At least those who use the official away travel.

Do they have any injuries to key players I wonder? 

This looks to be the only game off in the UK or Ireland. I find this frustrating to be honest. 

Did you read the Kent rag story posted above? That's why it's off. An uncovered end that will be a nightmare to navigate without slipping and will gradually worse as the day progresses. Not great if you slip over break your leg and smack your head. Gills FC are incompetent and should have called it off yesterday. Simple as that.

Indeed. If this weather front was unexpected then okay, but we've been told from literally the start of the week that this was coming. Completely unacceptable if Gillingham have made no arrangements to deal with the situation and opted to call it off as the easy solution instead.

Scandalous decision. That stand should be closed down permanently and the full capacity of it then allocated in the other 3 sides.

Will concentrate the tinpot two Bob club to build a new stand

Another poor decision. 

From the pics Ive seen nothing wrong with pitch, roads or pavements. Barely any snow on ground but if the problem.with 1 stand maybe Gillingham should have come up better plan like some grit.
