[Archived] Wimbledon v Rovers

The wife of the Wimbledon Chairman and two of their players’ wives on hearing Rovers fans have already set off..

Don’t know how these darlings have coped. The Maltese people were awarded the George cross for endurance during the war. Must be another one on the way with this snow and cold.

If the games on and Rovers take the points then momentum takes us home to Wigan in what would be a huge 6 pointer. Two rovers wins heaps massive pressure on wigon 

1-0 Rovers

As a fellow colour-blinder, I felt his pain. I hate the orange or pink ball. You can't see a thing most of the time! Nothing wrong with a yellow one though ?

 He failed to tell Harford abut it until half-time when it was just a little too late. Or so legend goes.

Yes , that was shocking , more than Bohinen culpable too..

Agreed. Got to be in our top 10 worst performances over the past 25 or so years (in my time following Rovers) given the calibre of player we had on the pitch.

Wow! One of the players must be a real toy-boy!

A bit of revenge needed for their win at Ewood. Wombledon 0 - 1 Rovers (Antonsson)

Possibly, possibly not. I know who’s who and you don’t.  :-)

I don't even think I am being a 'pansy Southerner' now, it's facking freezing! 

Surprised if it goes ahead based on this morning's temperature! Live in reading

If the game goes ahead I'm a little concerned that Wimbledon might catch us cold and some of our players may freeze. That'd be snow joke.

[blondie]

Purely Hypothermical

That may be true. But you probably care and I don’t 

Ok, spill the beans then. Is one of them Lawrie Sanchez’ wife? That doesn’t really count!

We don’t want to slip up. Could be a frosty atmosphere in the changing room afterwards if that happens.

Haha, sounds like you do care.

Actually, I haven’t got the foggiest who any of them are!

I still think it will be postponed or abandoned if it starts.

I don't understand what Wimbledon are playing at.They must be having a brain womble.

Don't wombles live underground?  Maybe they have some nice warm fires under the pitch.

The M3 is closed so I hope the Rovers coaches are getting off the M25 well before the M3 intersection.

And Westminster looking towards Charing Cross a few minutes ago.

Slightly puzzled by this. The temperature has been predicted at -2 to - 3 this evening in Wimbledon for the last 48 hours. This hasn’t changed and the temp is currently showing as -2. Surely the pitch will immediately freeze now the covers have been removed?!

i sincerely hope this isn’t the case for the sake of our fans who have travelled. I have bad memories of travelling over the Hammersmith flyover a few years ago to Craven Cottage and hearing on the radio the game was called off due to a frozen pitch! 

[Rogerb]

Not dissimilar to when we played Crewe in the cup away before Christmas

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ref clears game to go ahead. 

Plenty of other games going ahead too. Sorting men from boys

[MarkBRFC]

Well, its going ahead.

Must win for me this one is with Wigan being off.

[Preben]

It's midnight and 21C here in Delhi, hope they keep the runways clear at Heathrow and Ringway tomorrow!

Player and fan safety issues on hold.

Does the ref know the temperature at which water moisture freezes, I wonder.

I do not expect too many players diving or the modern version of a sliding tackle. Lots of poncy gloves and leggings on show.

Meanwhile 'Abandonment' has gone to 1/2 on favourite, ground rated hard to focking firm.

That’s no more than a dusting of snow - surely that won’t affect a game of football?

[USABlue]

Ciuld Wigan's backlog actually work against us?  Could we see another Huddersfield type situation as it gets late in the season and teams stop giving a toss.
