[Archived] Rovers V Brighton

[cn174]

What on earth? It's been wetter than this and we've still played. Is it raining that bad?!?

One of the last remaining good things about Rovers is our pitch is very good!

[Alan75]

SKY NEWS - Number of games being postponed due to rain / water logged pitches.

Perfect for bringing on the subs though

[danger19_80]

Ahh yes, bugger

[jim mk2]

Jolly good news - now I can enjoy the weekend without having it ruined by another defeat.

[DE.]

Yep, happy with that. Says it all when I'd rather my team didn't play because I have no faith in them doing anything other than humiliating themselves and the club.

[davulsukur]

I feel for any Brighton fans that were making the trip up to Ewood a d had already set off.

Well by 12:30 they'd probably nearly be here!!

[davulsukur]

True cn174. Gutted for them.

Wigans pitch looks perfect

[dr who true blue]

Berg is one lucky man game as been called off ,next boro away.

[ABBEY]

Thought we had this all singing dancing drainage system ??

It's rained yes but not enough to flood it ?

[Blue n White Rover]

This is one stick you can't beat the club with. The weather has been horrendous throughout the night and well into the morning. We have had continuous rain and that is something we cannot control.

Hopefully this works in our favour and we'll be more fitter than the opposition for a change come Boxing Day.

On sky sports looks good (pitch).

[DE.]

If our match is the only one called off in the Championship it'll be pretty embarrassing. It isn't raining that much worse in Blackburn than other parts of the country. It's been tipping down here since Thursday and Ipswich are playing today.

Think he probably would have wanted a confidence boosting win today heading into what looks like an uphill task on Boxing Day tbh

[MrT]

​At least we can all have a happy Christmas now!!

Shame there now seems to be more ' men who cannot be named '

Freedom of speech Mr A

The FA will be as disinterested in this odd postponement as in everything else odd at Rovers

[Friarsnig]

It rained here in Ewood fairly hard for a few hours this morning, but has now stopped. My back garden, a notoriously soggy bit of grass, isn't too bad. It's certainly fit for playing football on.

Do you think we would have won today?

You can't be suggesting this is another conspiracy? The ref would have had final say. Or is he in on it too?

From the BBC

.

In League One, Brentford's game with Stevenage, Hartlepool against Portsmouth and Scunthorpe-Carlisle are off because of waterlogged pitches.

Six games are also off in League Two after pitch inspections, including the visit of leaders Gillingham to York and Wycombe's game against Bradford.

Nine of the 11 Blue Square Bet Premier games have been postponed.

Following heavy rain, there will be a second pitch inspections at Crewe and Northampton at 12:15 GMT before their respective games against Bournemouth and Northampton.

Rollocks! Just turn Sky on. Not many miles up the road Wigan are managing. Despite the adverse weather we have all the time in Lancashire how many games at Ewood have been called off down the years ? Not bloody many, i blame Kean though obviously

Hopefully this works in our favour and we'll be more fitter than the opposition for a change come Boxing Day.

[1864roverite]

Lets hope te rain has washed the KEAN off the pitch in readiness for the New Year.

Merry Chrimbo everyone at least we are not bottom !

No, probably not, but that's not what I was saying...

A christmas card from Shebby would do the trick.
