Tomorrows Game is OFF

[Part Timer]

The main problem is that where the pitch is frozen the rainwater is not draining away. On the yale stand side the pitch is playable as there is less frost in the ground and the water has drained better.

If we could have got all the snow off on Wednesday we may have stood a better chance.

Most of the ERS side of the ground still has snow on so that is going to take a while to drain away.

the bbc have really got to get there act together. they have two stories about the game being called off. in the match preview report it states it is wrexhams 9th game in a row to be postponed. but then in a larger report it states its only our 8th in a row. which one is it bbc? make up your mind

and even York's game is on. Perhaps better organised on this issue? or is it simply a case of the weather not favouring us?

It's an absolute disgrace. I know that this is the worst winter for over 30 years and I am sure that the right decision has been made to call the game off. But I think that our situation in relation to postponed games at home reflects the lack of investment in the club and particularly the pitch. The pitch has been poor for some years now and nothing much has been done about it. And now we will have Rugby League played on it ! I don't blame the groundsmen, but I do blame the owners. If other clubs like York can keep playing why can't we? We have a maximum of 6 Saturday matches to enjoy to the end of the season, unless there are more postponements! Moss is too interested in lining his own pockets through the Celtic Crusaders to spend any money on the pitch. At this rate our fixture congestion could land us in a relegation fight. I suppose relegation would please Moss as he can then concentrate on Rugby League and allow the football club to fold.

You can guarentee that if the first Crusaders game was tonight, this pitch would be ready.
