This is starting to get very silly.

One week of snow and our fixtures go utterly pear shaped.

 

[editor]

Well pissed off.

 

[Clint Iguana]

all very odd.

ref says three inches of snow on pitch... why was it not covered?

Charlton fans say ....

"the pitch was covered so no actual snow on the pitch. Club said yesterday the pitch was fine. So what has happened since ? Nothing. The anticipated 3 hours of snow never materialised and if anything the situation regarding surrounding areas has improved significantly too. This stinks imo. Cardiff team should have travelled yesterday as they knew there were potential travel concerns. I'm amazed people are happy it's off. When it's scheduled for a Tuesday sometime in April when we are already down the Club will lose out significantly in revenue and we will all moan about having to dash home from work to get there, less drinking time in pub etc etc. I'm personally gutted."

taken from charlton board

Vince alm is a bit would up... from MMs board..

Vince alm wrote "I've just email the football league to ask them to investigate how the pitch was left in such a state considering they were a premiership side not so long ago? They are the only club in London to have a pitch inspection, I've spoken to Arsenal today and they can't believe it's called off. They have some key injuries and are struggling makes it even more suspicious!

I am still planning on driving up tomorrow if i can't get somebody from London to take some photographs for me to push this all the way.

I urge all to bombard the Football League with complaints, this will now put us at a disadvantage with to many games to play, remember last season with the FA cup we fell apart when the games came thick and fast!"

Seems academic given that South Wales is cut-off from England due to snow

Er, I dont think so.

That couldn't have been me clubing in the west end last night. I must have been an illusion.

I came to London despite the game being called off. Took me an extra hour but otherwise had no problem.

My nephew did the same. Go the train straight down, dim problem.

I have a mate that travelled up on monday ready for arsenal and had a ticket booked to come back after charlton.... great plans of mice and men and all that.

No doubt the dub vinyl specialists of london have done good business.

*at a loose end now

 

[ddraig]

at least Wednesday are beating Utd up in Sheffield atm! 2-1 to weds with less than 10mins to go

up to 4th ad we haven't even played

A fantastic weekend for us.

Wolves lose, Birmingham and Reading both draw.

If, and it's a big if, we win our games in hand we'll go above Birmingham.

Tried to get a bet on this morning at 12-1 to win the championship, but my wifi is very iffy, I knew it had to be done before todays games, and how right i was. Got in with new router log on and can only get 7-1!!!

I was down Asda earlier at Leckwith and I tell ya that the new stadium smells of the Premiership, we're going up in style as champs!

 

[1927]

Just checked out the table and the highest placed team to win today was the jacks, its quite remarkable that we're not playing at the mo and yet nobody is picking up the baton and having a go. I dont think anyone else wants to win this league!

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

It's not quite time to spark up the Monte Cristo yet, but we're realistic contenders if we can win those 2 games.

We've got the team to pull this off now too.

 

[editor]

Great set of results for City today. Destiny is surely calling!

You can get 9/1 with Skybet...

I've got a free bet from Betfair tho! Back out to 9s tho so not all lost yet. Might lump on at 9s hope we win a couple and then lay it. Win either way happy days

I've got my eyes on a 1800/1, Cardiff City to win the Championship and FA Cup double

A mate of mine got £50 at huge odds on a City v jacks play off final!

My idea of a nightmare senario. 90 mins of utter stress hopefully followed by joyous bragging rights. The alternative is to horifying to contemplate.

I can't even imagine how stressful that would be, but dont forget this is Cardiff you are talking about so if it did happen we'd probably be put thru the agony of extra time and pens!! The sickness rate in Cardiff would go thru the roof if we lost, I honestky can't think how I could ever watch a game again if that happened and we lost. I know for a fact I would have to find another pub to drink in as The Cayo would be a no go zone for the rest of time(Jack landlord)

One hell of a bubble trip!

I reckon there are probably high ranking police officers in London and South wales already having sleepless nights about the possibility.

 

[ddraig]

they should have the whole thing on skycops

 

[1927]

I used to worry everytime a PL manager got sacked. Now I dont think we have to worry, can't see DJ leaving for Pompey, Chelsea wont want him, but if Zola goes to Chelksi then we may have a problem.
