[cite]Posted By: Stone[/cite]Some might think I'm joking but I think our best bet is to take the covers off the pitch and get the game called off.
Then they can come down mid-week with less than half the support and we may have a better squad to select from (injuries, suspension's new signing?). I don't think we have a prayer if we play them on Saturday sadly.
Looks like the club has been reading Charltonlife again!

I said something similar on Monday, this is the WORST possible time to play them.
we had to use heaters last week,but norwich and f.a. paid some costs,don't be surprised if these haven't been used this week with us picking the whole tab up.
surely not even the most cynical Charlton fan can blame the club for the weather!
I blame Pardew. OK, it might not be directly his fault. But he's probably sitting on his beach in the Caribbean, spending the money we could have used to turn the under-soil heating on...
Time for another conspiracy - Parkinson ordered that the undersoil heating was turned off and the big tent was destroyed and it's existence denied. That way we'll postpone the Forest match, one of the biggest of the season, until we can get in a couple more signings.
Why is the tent thing not working??? I can remember a few years ago (premiership years) the club reported they paid out alot of money (I think the fee was around 100 grand) for this tent thing from Norway. Surely considering the amount of money we paid out for it the thing should be in working order. Or maybe that was sold in the summer along wih the other players!!!! (That was a joke by the way)
[cite]Posted By: nigel w[/cite]Yes, so where is the tent? Pic on the O/S looks like the pitch is covered by a load of army blankets left over from WW2.
exactly. I want us to play. If not it'll be midweek and a hassle. Who knows whether now or later is a better time to play them. Later they might be mid-table in a run of ten consecutive wins. Would that be a better time to play them. Ok, Bailey is suspended but with 4 players currently on 4 yellows it could be worse. The fact that they are telling us this early indicates a real possible it'll be off imo.
I'd heard that the company who made the inflatable thingy doesn't exist any more so it can't be repaired. Also heard that we've been using our old covers which are not man enough for the job. No change there then!

surely you can get someone else to repair it. Just because your local car showroom closes you don't scrap your car.

We might experience this alot next season ;-)

I blame you, they probably liked your idea and flogged it on eBay!
If this gets called off, I'm going to be fuming.
Sorry, no time, too busy spending your tax money down the pub ;-)
I didn't mean at the club you wally, surely not even the most cynical Charlton fan can blame the club for the weather!

AGREED!
We should order a ton of ice to spread on the pith over night to make sure it's called off.
Hopefully by the time the game is re scheduled Forest good form bubble may have burst and we might have some new signings. How desperate is that.
