  • I certainly believe they were happy to have the game off with their injury list

    The replay is ten days away and most of them will still be injured. I blame Clattenberg more if anyone.

    It also pushes a hell of a lot more pressure onto our battle away from relegation, imagine if we draw when this finally gets ahead.... with our pitch, other postponed games, re-arranged games, few injuries.. it's not gonna be rosey.
  • We might even have a loan player by 25th...or is that wishful thinking?!

    Probably will and they'll be cup tied lol

    Big time disappointed with this one. Live on Fox in the States so the first time I would have seen us live this year. Now I have to kill some time as it's 6am. I'm not going back to bed. I suppose there's always Sunderland v Southampton. :-(

    At least I can have a cuppa. What a dreary season this has been.
  • If the game is going ahead on the 25th, not even going to be a viable option of going and making it back that night. Last train back to London is 9.54 unless Im missing anything obvious?

    I wonder if the club will put on a couple of trains?

    Won't matter if they are. If the weren't signed in time for todays game they won't be eligible for the re-arranged fixture.
  • Absoloutely gutted. Maybe a win against QPR on Saturday will boost our chances for next Tuesday! Fortunately I live in Leeds so was just getting out of bed when I saw there was an inspection planned. Still, was looking forward to beers with mates from back home coming up for the game. Sorry to all travelling up from down saaaf, really gutted for all that made the trip and hope you guys can still make a day of it.

    Bummer for all who travelled and more fixture pile up misery. The only gain from this game would have been a freebie for the new players to gel before we next play an important league game. Pity.

    I think those two possibilities are mutually exclusive.

    Why does everyone want a QF draw we have absolutely no hope of winning? Let's have the big team at Wembley please.

    Got as far as Derby, my first away game of the season. Won't be able to afford the replay, whenever it is. Fair play to the East Midlands trains, they knew about it and there was no bother coming back on much later tickets. But what a fixture pile up we face :(

    Coach from Charlton left about 45 mins late as there was a problem with the disabled access at the side of the coach.

    Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we were back at Charlton by about 12.

    This is the second time in two years I've tried to get to Hillsborough and had to turn back half way!

    First time I would have seen us live on Canadian TV since the Swindon play-off game. Will be working on the 25th so will miss the live replay, although avoiding the score (so as to watch it later) in Canada shouldnt be too difficult.

  • Looking at the pitch pictures, this could have been called off last night and saved a lot of grief..

    So at 7am the groundstaff knew it was unplayable, but Clattenberg did not arrange an earlier inspection. Total fuck up.
  • Looks like they wanted it off
  • Clattenburg should have got there at 8,30 and made a decision as for as i'm concerned, not only have folk from London has a wasted journey but Wednesday fans from all over the country come to Hillsborough on matchdays too.

    The only think I can think is that Clattenburg gave it till the point of no return and made a decision there and then.

    Agreed. But Clattenberg states the groundstaff knew and the weather forecast was poor. Could have made the decision on Friday night?

    Spent 70 quid yesterday on a train. Absolutely fed up. One good thing I can get a refund on the 60 quid for tickets that I forgot!!

    In the globe as can't check into the hotel till 2! Long day in a rainy Sheffield awaits.

    Oh well.

    But you meet me so its fantastic.
  • got as far as Derby and heard so got train back. got back home about 45 mins ago.
  • On train back, just been told to keep our train tickets, we may get a discount for the rearranged game.
