Gateshead

Gateshead have had a second game against Grimsby Town postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, the first being because of a frozen pitch.

"The postponement is the fifth at the International Stadium since December due to drainage problems on a pitch that was re-laid in the summer."

Should the Conference league punish them for so many cancellations in one season?

No.

 

[Womble Bee]

No

Got to say NO as well. Its unlucky and they'll be punished enough with all the games they have to pay catch up on and potential lost revenue, as i'd imagine they'd have got better crowds for the origanally arranged games.

what lies?

what lies?

Moved the match to the Sunday and said it was the Police what told them to do it.
The police then said nothing to do with us, so we insisted the match was moved back, in the mean time Bees fans had arranged travel for the Saturday, cancelled and rescheduled for the Sunday and then had to re-reschedule for the Saturday.

Turns out they were trying to maximise on Newcastle fans coming along as they were playing on the Saturday.

Indeed, I'm sure the flight I was on would've had better company than just PJ, Bill Benn and Minkybee if it wasn't moved about
