Communication between clubs

[canarycol 0]

Heres hoping that Norwich  City keep exeter city up to date as far as the game is on saturday, City Fans  know what its like to travel a long distance only to find that the game is off, we dont want to be in the same class as walsnow, I would like to think that Norwich City are more proffessional than that, so to save exeter city fans a 452 mile round trip approx Can there be more  communication between clubs to let people know  the state of play as far as preperation for the  game is concerned, then people can make a choice on whether to travel or not.

Just a thought

 

met some decent  exeter fans in Nuneaton train station after their FA cup tie at Nuneaton Town so Im sure  they would appreciate any communication as they said they travel all over  the country to watch their team play

The state of the pitch won''t be an issue so it will be down to the police in regards to spectator safety as to whether the match goes ahead. I seem to remember Brighton fans having to make 3 trips to Norwich in the space of a couple of weeks over the xmas/new yr period. 1st for a league encounter that got postponed due to floodlight failure, 2nd for an fa cup 3rd round tie, 3rd for the rescheduled league fixture. OUCH!

Due to undersoil heating the pitch should be playable, the only risk is if the Police say that it is unsafe for fans to travel etc. This usually happens much earlier, Man C - Man U was called off today for a kick-off tomorrow.In fairness to Walsall they thought they could get the pitch playable in time for kick-off but the braziers just didn''t have to heat. The main guilty party is the ref who listened to them, although he was probably only taking advice from Walsall ground staff.

Can''t see there being a problem as we''re only expecting a light dusting of snow with cloud and some sunshine in Norfolk plus our pitch is always in prime condition and very playable with our undersoil heating.

When did we last call a game off due to the weather?

I remember calling up the club before the game in which we beat Huddersfield 4-1 in 1998 as it had hammered down with rain in the morning and I was driving from London. I recall that they mentioned that a home match had not been called off due to weather for nearly fifteen years, so maybe the mid 1980''s?

[/quote]I remember 2002/03 season we had a cup match called off due to a generator failure. Think it was Brighton?

I seem to recall a game being called of because of fog good few years ago....I was in the River end & couldnt see the Barclay at all!!!! Can''t remember what year though.

I agree with the sentiment that the pitch will be playable, as for Exeter fans I suggest you look at the news Devon is one of the worst hit places with the snow so doubt they will be worrying about travelling across country to be honest.
