Gumbi Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Match postponed. I was just about to leave too. Also, I know I won't be able to attend the rearranged fixture as it will almost certainly be when I'm on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdoggsteel Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So we have two weeks off now. Not good I have no doubt we will be caught cold in our next game. No doubt at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Al least we are down for the weekend. Ewood Blues coach set off at 5.30, they were 5 miles from the ground when they found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted March 17, 2018 Backroom Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not that bad here, hasn't laid on the pavements or roads at all. Honestly we were lucky that the Wimbledon game went ahead, so it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinjay Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Seen photos and this is complete and utter nonsense there's barely a damn snowdrop! The club should have threatened legal action immediately against Gillingham FC, Kent Police, etc. Fans travelling must be absolutely incensed. Granted there had been reports of potential bad weather and some may not have risked it but there's nothing there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted for you Matty, get yourself in a warm boozer. I hope the club put on free transport for the fans that bought tickets for today's game, they're a credit to the club.

matt83 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If pitch is frozen fine (not sure how it can be) but if it’s this surrounding areas cobblers authorities need to man up and stop wrapping everyone in cotton wool. A mate is there and nothing wrong as he can tell. Slightly windy he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had been travelling I would sue Kent Police for the inconvenience. That's what fans travelling should do. There were less safety regulations in Salisbury than this!

Jim Royle Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ridiculous decision we are here n there is nowt calling it off at 11:30 for fans safety when playing a team from the north - nanny state gone mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 A lot of anger on Facebook over this decision. The only way this can turn in to any sort of a good day is for Scunthorpe to beat Shrewsbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is the pitch frozen and H&S is just a smokescreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Shame for those who have gone. You'd think the Scunny v Shrews game would be off too with it being on the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry Blue Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 According to BBC: Gillingham's home game against League One leaders Blackburn Rovers has been postponed following overnight snow. The decision was taken at 11:30 GMT following an inspection, and on police advice, with further wintry weather expected during the afternoon. A Gillingham statement said the pitch was "potentially playable" but the amount of snow around the stadium was a health and safety concern for fans.

AllRoverAsia Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 https://www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/news/2018/march/blackburn-off/ Pitch ok Health & Safety concerns. They knew the forecast yesterday and it should have been called off then. A shambles and I only feel sorry for our travelling fans and team. Feck Gillingham and Plod.

A lot of respect for the fans who follow the team all over, gutted for anyone who made the trip today. Am genuinely surprised it's been called off as it seemed far worse when we played Wimbledon, and that was at a non-league standard ground. Odd.
