[The Large One]

Mind you, he is in Barcelona.

RM Taylor and Dabbzy are in Cov. They might visit Molineux or otherwise go totally gay and spend the afternoon window shopping around the Bullring.

 

[coventrygull]

No thanks

Its Britains answer to Venice don't you know Have just heard the Villa game is on but would think thats a sell out. Not sure if Moor Green are playing

I thought if you wanted to go totally gay in Brum you go to broad street

Albion's match against Walsall is postponed due to a frozen pitch!

Now then, who was it who scoffed my prediction of this earlier this week?!

.

 

[Wilka]

Only made it to the a27 before the text came through.

Same here. It was never going to be on with such a run of low temps. Even with the covers on the cold would get into the soil.

To be fair everyone connected to Walsall fc thought they had won the war against the weather.To be honest i'm not that fussed as we have a thread bare squad.

Cheers Algie - As far as I am concerned the key goes into my lawn ok

That's probably because they are thick as shit and need pins pushing into their eyeballs.

 

[Beach Hut]

Permission to say "cock".

Got as far as Euston and when I came out the underground a flurry of texts so thanks El Pres / Ernest.

Met Clapham Gull on the concourse and managed to get an announcement put out on tannoy advising game called off.

Hope no-one got too far away from home for this.

Good thinking that man

 

[Beach Hut]

Good thinking that man

Like to take the credit but actually Claphams idea

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Good thinking that man

Agreed.

And an excellent example of what to do. Far better than just having a moan about (a) the Albion; (b) Walsall FC; (c) the Football League; (d) the BBC; (e) Network Rail; (f) Dean Wilkins; (g) the credit crunch; (h) the Referee; (i) any combination of the above.

Then all credit for not taking the credit

 

[Beach Hut]

Anyway as a treat the Huts will have a Chinese take-away tonight with my Walsall pocket money as not spent.

Yummy looking forward to sweet and sour king prawns Hong Kong style

 

[Beach Hut]

You are joking, surely ?

I blame the Labour Party

 

[clippedgull]

Got to near Heathrow before the news came through. Could have been worse I guess.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

RM Taylor and Dabbzy have decided against mincing around the Bullring and are now just about to go in the away end at Molineux. Russ is attempting to sneak through as a U16. Dabbzy wont get away with it because he is 6ft3.

 

[Horney]

At least a 10.am postponement gives most people the chance to abort mission.
Last weeks 1.00pm gave all us ' longer distance ' Withdean visitors little or no chance of avoiding a completely wasted journey.
Interesting to note that the ref stayed overnight and was able to make an early decision unlike our friend last week who ' got stuck in traffic ' and turned up just before 12.00.
Really feel its time now for the league to step in and impose a cut off time for postponements ( 11.00 am ? ).. 1.45pm Colchester v Tranmere last week was ridiculous.
There is no ideal solution but it aint rocket science in the present weather to know that pitches aren't going to improve in 4-5 hrs before kick-off.
It won't prevent fans starting out on long journeys ( e.g Carlisle ) but it will act as damage limitation.

The announcement at Euston was very efficiently done and worded exactly as me and Beachy had asked.

"Network Rail would like to remind passengers waiting for the 11:03 to Birmingham New Street that Dean Wilkins finished seventh last season."
