Just seen this.



To people who cant access twitter

Watford under 23s were due to face Welwyn Garden City in a friendly at 3pm on Saturday afternoon

Ar 2pm on friday afternoon 25 hours before the game was due to kick off, Watford cancelled due to a lack of players.

So Welwyn Garden City a non league team have just lost a small fortune for them, not only in gate money, but they have already paid for food and drink, programmes to be made that are now useless.

Watford you are a disgrace

    To put this into perspective
    Watford under 23s had a behind closed doors friendly with west ham on Friday, knowing they had this game on Saturday

    Graham Taylor is due to be remembered in a 1st team friendly later today.

    He was a great man and would be disgusted by the way Wattord have treated a small non league side.

    Spoiled brats.
    If we can put 22 legs on the field anyone should be able to.
    Shame on you Rocket man

    Hopefully Watford will go some way to make things right by taking the expected earnings from the friendly, doubling it and donating it to WGCFC.

    I'm sure a well funded club like them (who spent 13m on Gerard Deulofeu this summer) can afford it.

    FA should implement hefty fines for this type of scenario.

    Don't shoot Elton, he is only the piano player, we have our own problems, with our Madman Across The Water, Roland

    Pretty sure Watford will reimburse them...….. and more.

    Quite unprofessional to go shouting it from the roof tops despite the frustration and obvious annoyance of the situation.

    You've got to let your fans know though, and make it clear it's not your fault.
    The game was agreed three months ago, FFS!

    Welwyn fans should go to Watford tonight and kick off. I'm told that Saturday night's alright for fighting.

    Watford said that they would fulfil this fixture, but then again, no.

    It’s a little bit funny,
    Not fielding a side.

    Absolutely brilliant
