Paul Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Working!!! But football is played outdoors....pitches get a bit wet, get on with it surly. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBlazey Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Totally agree. Matches are called off far too easily nowadays. What confuses me is Bodmin calling off a match because they can't push a key down 3 inches (or whatever it's supposed to be), yet I turn on the telly to see matches in football league being played on pitches that are frozen hard. I don't know a lot about football and have never claimed to (I am just a fan after all), but can anyone provide an explanation for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL & Prem clubs have whopping big insurance policies to pay big wages, clubs at Step 6/7 don't. The limited cover available for the amount of premiums paid, wouldn't cover the cost of petrol to a physio let alone treatment or loss of earnings etc. Would you risk not paying the mortgage/rent for a game of football ? As per your own statement, it is agreed, you know very little about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it NOT the referee that calls the game off, not the club? Cant blame the clubs for the refs decision! I'm also sure that the pitches shown on tv are not frozen hard otherwise they too would be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Strong line up for the semi-finals of the cup as Bodmin, Tavi and Buckland progress. They will be joined by either Marines or Alphington.

Cornish Chough Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I was in newquay sports centre yesterday and a groundsmen from up country came and took a core sample from the pitch, he told us the reason why the pitches were so wet.He said about 2 feet down the ground is still frozen and because the temperature has not been higher enough to defrost it. We need some mild weather to defrost it, all the rain we have been having has not been able to drain away causing a sponge effect hence alot of games being called off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John The Baptist Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Probably protecting the pitch along with havin a few injuies. Vospers have played literally every time Kimberley has been ruled unplayable and the pitches are only about a mile apart, so you'd say something smells a bit fishy.
