The folks on the Doncaster forum are not confident that the game will go ahead.It is snowing heavily up there at the moment by all accounts.

Shame if the game doesn't go ahead! Donny are there for the taken after getting knocked out the Cup..

My sentiments exactly.

Can't believe the team travelled up yesterday for an evening kick off.

 

[nocoat]

A selfish **** would hope it is off so he could perhaps make the trip later on in the season

I think it's good that there already & not stuck on the motorway with the travelling in the snow

Yeah, but the waste financially staying in a hotel last night and everything.
I guess if that's what it takes to win games away so be it, but in our financial state, I find it a tad amazing.

 

[YorkBee]

20 miles north of donny...

light dusting of snow on the ground occasional light flurries apart from that blue skies so I would hope the game is ON...

 

[LboroBee]

is there such thing as a tad amazing ?!

ah well, didnt Doncaster get thrashed the other day ?

 

[nocoat]

conceded six to arsenal and four to forest

 

[rebus]

I think the opposite. They've just been tanked 4-0 by Forest and probably can't wait to get out there and get it out of their system.

I'm with nocoat on this. It will give our players some rest before Saturday too.

Martin Allens the manager, It's not a waste financially. Allen is very meticulous in team preparation. I happen to have first hand experience on this one, our away record speaks for itself. The waste financially is the ****ers that so say run our club from board level.

We woudn't have this problem in a regional league.

Well said that Man

Torquay

Torquay

Oi ! Nocoat .. Your like a Dog with a bone you rofl

 

[Stanley]

This is like a pantomine.......Oh yes we would!!!

After all if Forest would be in the South ( as you have stated) why not Donny, its only just a bit further up the A1?

 

[North London Bee]

Correct me if I am wrong but do the FL not refund travel costs if a game is postponed or is that only for FA Cup matches?

Mmmmm, that would be ok then.

 

[red_and_white]

i think with tabb and newman fresh it would be good to play them now. watched football league review and they said 4 - 0 was flattering. Megson said Donny were the best footballing team that he had seen all season first half. My mate from sheffield saw them a few times and doesnt understand why theyre not up there. Apparently the problem is their defence

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

It's off :-(

 

[SQUELCH]

would heve been better to keep the momentum going.

at least i'll be able to make the re-arranged game.

 

[hobbsy]

Wow, I actually got a prediction right !

 

[bees66]

shame

 

[fencer/bee]

sh!t what am i gonna do tonight,,, have another beer or two :beer:

Don't for gawds sake do what the Yorkshiremen do .. it's a tad illegal !

No ! Sod the tad, it's illegal full stop

Do you really want to support a team with a fixture list like like Merthyr Tydfil's? Try Isleworth or Greenford!

 

[Brentford St George]

I think the opposite. They've just been tanked 4-0 by Forest and probably can't wait to get out there and get it out of their system.

I'm with nocoat on this. It will give our players some rest before Saturday too.

This means i can now take advantage of the free ticket for Fulham v Aston Villa tonight......

 

[nocoat]

boooo! St. George Out!

Community service? Have you been a bad boy?

 

[Brentford St George]

boooo! St. George Out!

I was flying the flag trying to organise a few to go to Donny

 

[Mr Cynical]

Not too disappointing, Donny would be really up for it after the 4-0 at forest and although we've got Newman and Tabb back a few off our players looked knackered towards the end of the Swansea game. Means we'll have a fully fit and focused squad for Sat's game. Also I suppose, depending on when it's re-arranged, Pratley may be back, which would be a massive bonus..

Good news - Swansea's game has also been called off. Only Huddersfield can go ahead of us now.

And doubly so if you imagine how far all those Gillingham fans have travelled so far. :laugh:

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

The one game I'm pleased is off is the Chester versus Wrexham game.
The Police caused many fans to be very pi**ed off when they said the game had to played at mid-day today and it isn't even a Bank Holiday !
A normal working day and most fans would be at work come mid-day.

Glad it is postponed

 

[Jimbee]

Plymouth v Preston called off at 5.30pm

Plymouth v Preston called off at 5.30pm

don't know why? no snow down here yet......................

 

[rebus]

Plymouth v Preston called off at 5.30pm

That's terrible. After the sun goes out at around four the referee should have known it was not going to get warmer.

 

[South Acton Bee]

newcastle vs charlton off 45 minutes before kick off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

newcastle vs charlton off 45 minutes before kick off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots off ****ed Charlton fans in Biggs Market tonight then. rofl

 

[California Bee]

Must be a very local snowstorm at Doncaster. Teams from neighbouring places like Sheffield Wednesday, Hull, Bradford, Huddersfield, Mansfield and Chesterfield all have games that are going ahead

 

[fencer/bee]

they showed pic's of doncaster's pitch on sky sport... the snow looked 6 inchs deep........................... dont think they needed a inspection..

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Given the fact the game was called off before we travelled, and other results I think this was a useful postponement.

The Colchester game is another big one, they are on a decent run and it should be a big (ish) crowd, a good win there will set us up for the new year so the extra few days rest, even taking into account the long trip, will be useful.

We are now also in a position where we hold a psychological advantage over teh chasing pack, we are two points clear with a game in hand, we need Huddersfield to think they have to win here when they visit soon.

The game wasn't called off before 'we' travelled. The team were already up there the day before.

It's tough getting to the top and even tougher still, staying there. Lets brace ourselves and get the tin helmets on

I don't get paid £x00 a week to travel up and down the country, and don't get to stay in a hotel, with meals laid on and a luxury coach to travel up and back on.

I don't begrudge the players this but it isn't a hard life.

'We' and Brentford Football Club as a whole is the fans.

We didn't travel before yesterday's game was called off

Good bonding session for the squad

 

[TW1Bee]

Even better Huddersfield losing 0-3 at home to Vale and Leon "the rake" gets two
