Tin pot

just arrived in Burnley after driving 200 miles. Weather is bad, but they've played in worse! Ahh well... turn around and go home then.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:12 pm

I watched two matches midweek in Moscow with snow everywhere but the pitch was more than playable. Seems odd.

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:13 pm

Have we not had the heating on? I cannot imagine it is because of pitch condition, must be approaches unsafe for fans attending.

Stan Tastic · Post by **Stan Tastic** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:15 pm

When was the last game postponed at the Turf? It must be years ago.

Andreshotboots · Post by **Andreshotboots** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:15 pm

Be no doubt heavily influenced by Spurs who've had a midweek European game.

gawthorpe_view · Post by **gawthorpe_view** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:15 pm

Might have looked at the forecast for the end of the match as well.
More snow forecast.

I was thinking the same thing Elwa.

If that's the case who makes that decision?

Cubanforever · Post by **Cubanforever** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:16 pm

Be interesting to hear the reasons

Claretmisterg · Post by **Claretmisterg** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:16 pm

Unfair on travelling supporters from both teams to postpone at such short notice.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:17 pm

You have to feel sorry for all the spurs fans who made the journey

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:17 pm

BBC, Sky, Journalists all reporting the game is officially off.

Not one word from Burnley FC official accounts about it, ridiculous.

My mates texted me saying that apparently the heating has failed, but don't know where he's got that from.

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:19 pm

BBC lenient (for the moment):

"Not much anyone can do, though. The snow continues to bucket down there, the ground staff were fighting a losing battle from the off. There's safety to think of."

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:19 pm

The forecast was clear from yesterday. Why not just cover the pitch?

A bit snowy yeah but not THAT bad.

Lot's of southern wussies crying that we've ruined their day up north and should be expelled from the PL for being a tin pot club who can't change the weather.

Tarks and Westy now suspended for the Wolves game. Not sure if that is good or bad news!

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:22 pm

Why can’t they just delay the kick off if it’s due to stop at 4pm?

If Spurs want the game postponed then, the game will be postponed.

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:25 pm

Wouldn't it have been better to delay it for an hour or two?

Think of all the people who have travelled, paid for petrol, rail tickets (some people will have bought plane tickets) hotels, traipsed into town etc etc.

Waiting 2 hours would have been the sensible thing to do. It's all rather pathetic.

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:26 pm

Completely tin pot and a little embarrassing to be honest.

Little inconvenience to me but I feel for those who have travelled from distance.

If they wait 2 hours then they may all succumb to the new South Africa variant.

P!ss take.

Under soil heating must have failed.

bf2k · Post by **bf2k** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:28 pm

What is a joke? The surrounding areas are not great. Public transport is disrupted. The snow doesn’t look like it’s stopping anytime soon. Right call for me if the ref and ground safety staff have determined it needs calling off. Disappointing but get over it.

Under soil heating doesn’t clear snow. It helps prevent sub soil frost.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:32 pm

Strange one really. If the heating isn’t working when did it breakdown? Should have been on overnight you would have thought. If it was broken yesterday there are other methods to protect the pitch.
Most importantly, for me, playing on it could have damaged the pitch long term.

I'm so glad the members of up the clarets are taking the player safety into account when posting their usual drivel. You selfish Gits

Left the house at 1308 and the Bus was late, a lad in an electric mobility chair and his mate asked me if it was off. I said 'It wasn't 5 minutes ago' then checked my phone again

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Sun Nov 28, 2021 1:33 pm

Pretty sure it is the match official and not either club who decide if they play or not. Under soil heating stops the pitch from freezing but it doesn't melt snow as it falls.

That looks pretty unplayable to me, if nothing else but for safety reasons.

He was going on with Leighton. They’ll be dashing back to his, if they can get there? Snowing heavy there at the mo.
