v Ipswich Town (h) - 20/9/25

[roverandout]

The weather is supposed to be dry from tomorrow.  Got all evening and morning to do something about the pitch. Why can't they stay in a hotel and finish the game tomorrow afternoon 

[OnionBalaji]

We always have the worst luck

the one time we get the rub of the green, Lady Luck pulls out her (fill in the gap) and well and truly fucks us 

[B16Rover]

Are the kids indoors pitches still by Ewood or am I massively out of date 

[TommyRovers]

Could have finished the game. Weather was bad but playable. Leaving it for 20 minutes and testing it is a joke. No words for Mckenna, and that pat on the back is telling.

 

If this is replayed full at 0-0 with 11 men each then its a disgrace. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Needs sorting out properly.

Expenditure on this wouldnt be caught by FFP rules. And they no longer have to provide a guarantee when money is sent over.

We really are a joke of a Club.

Being a Rovers fan. When it rains, it pours.

Part replay is allowed (as per my earlier post)

This feels like an ideal example of when this should be used.

Despite this I anticipate a full replay.

Is there no chance of the football league ordering the last 10/15 mins to be replayed with 11 v 10.

I'm sure I've seen that happen somewhere previously. 

Can’t think of an instance in English club football..? 🤔

That would be the fairest solution. Would have to be at our expense obviously.

I guess a key factor will be if any other north west / Yorkshire clubs with 3pm kickoffs have their games called off... If its just us it looks really bad.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

If it is replayed in full.  Charge the Ipswich fans full whack again. 

[OsloRover]

I hate football

[Tugay-is-God]

No way they don't beat us in a replay on a Tuesday night in December

[Gamst]

Gobsmacked. Just finish the game ref! This is just totally unfair and we should be on the blower to the FA demanding a win or a replay that lasts 10 mins (we probably don’t care and see it as a chance to make more money from beer sales at the replay). Then again it’s at our own ground and there are no other suspensions locally or at any league club so the club have to take responsibility. Again it’s the fans who suffer and don’t deserve it. 

[Scotty1991]

The whole ruling is a fucking disgrace, they had 10 men and I thought we looked like scoring again!

 

the fucking league bureaucrats will put a full replay! It’s a joke! I fucking hate football nearly as much as I hate golf at the minute!

Man utd are playing at 5.30. It's obviously going to be pissing down everywhere in the North West of England 

[Herbie6590]

How is the digital season ticket going to cope with this? 😆

[DE.]

As far as I can see you have to go down to Rochdale in the National League to find another game suspended/postponed, so was the weather around Ewood just locally apocalyptic compared to the rest of the country, or is Ewood just so poorly maintained that we're at National League level?

The reff stopped the game when the ball completely stopped in a puddle of water. I can see why he did it. But then i have seen matches (including at Ewood in recent years) where they just keep going.

Should be out of gestede's own pocket for being a total cunt in general

Can't think of another Championship club with two washouts in under 12 months.

The latter unfortunately I think

We all know what that means, Ipswich just come down, it'll be a full replay we never get anything out of the EFL board.
