Not sure if you're being serious or not.......

I mean pending a permanent solution to the drainage solution the least we could have done was invest in some covers and rent some suitable machinery etc

 

[Mike Graham]

The game at Accy is continuing on without a problem.  This is nothing to do with the River Darren it is all to do with the old drainage.

Waggott told us he was going to get the drainage sorted (he knew there was an issue) but the finances were not forthcoming.

This is an expensive mistake by our owners and their representative.  It is also an embarrassment.

For those there is it still pissing or easing at all??

It's either stopped, or it's just drizzling now.

Ball is bouncing on the pitch, when TGH just tested it.

Not as hard, but it's still persistent rain.

TGH came out and bounced a ball near halfway (near the benches) and it bounced fine, so these rollers are working.

The groundsmens efforts are a joke. Do they know what they are doing?!

Let's all re-watch this video, 'clarifying the facts and dispelling some of the myths':

I know it’s my own club, but a points deduction is needed here.

Professional tier two club who can’t provide a suitable pitch, need to be made an example of.

I only hope this leaves the owners with the embarrassment for the cost cutting.

They have big roller sponges out on the pitch

Its like putting a plaster on an amputated leg

[Exiled_Rover]

You'll all be glad to know the sheeple that still turn out at Ewood Park were all chanting "we want Venky's out" and "Pasha time to go" when the players were being taken off.

Token effort to make it seem like we have done something off the back of the Ipswich game. 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Where were the rollers at half-time?

Don't be so disrespectful to their expertise.  I'll have you know they've all good years of experience out in the Everglades

What you don't see is the guns being pointed at the groundman from behind the camera.

Didn't want to pay for grease for the wheels. Think of the cost.

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Thank God we have a guy with a 3-inch-wide fork

They're clearly wrecking the pitch - they're a last ditch effort.

[Ferrit]

Does anyone here know the two complete tosspot Rovers tv commentators? If so, please pass on that they are a set of wankers

They basically just said it’s not the clubs fault it just rains too much in the north west

They should be expensing everyone’s days - Wednesday fans too. Tickets, travel, drinks - the lot.

Will they though? Will they f***.

[Tugay-is-God]

The players have got to be pissed.

[TimmyJimmy]

If the drainage is shit then why hasn't the pitch been covered all week.

[Ferrit]

This is pointless the ref just wants it to drop dead once and that’ll be that

[booth]

The ball is bouncing.
