Torquay v Guiseley 24/04 (PP on 24/3/18)

Are you forgetting 17th and 20th of February.

That’s what I meant

[Dave]

A waste of time debating with idiots whenever a game is called off. They allow their disappointment to take priority over common sense.

Get over it, grow a pair and stop whingeing; what about the coachload of Guiseley fans who had saved all year for a hotel break in the Bay over the weekend to coincide with the match?

Your right, was bored. Agreed about the Guiseley fans. Anyway, I'm off to the Rec to watch one of the few games that appears to have beaten the weather today.

Be fair, he said played, not capitulated.

[desperado]

Well there you have it, we are all idiots , we need
to shut up , stop debating the postponement and realise that Luke Young is the reason we are being
relegated

[Minneapolisgull]

At least we can debate for another week, what is needed to survive!!!
General consensus we need 6 wins out of the last 8 games for any chance of staying in this league....
Not losing or drawing this week keeps our dream alive....

Don’t forget it’s nichos fault too!! And they couldn’t possibly play on tues because they have a match on Friday!
(Pretty sure there’s only 2 days till their match after that on Monday) but what do I know, I’m an idiot!

[merse btpir]

It's the crap about 'clearing snow off'; 'being the only game off' and so on.........

There is no way they were going to opt for this Tuesday; one because of the weather forecast and two because they have a programme of training, travelling and match playing over Easter to factor in. A bit of common sense would realise all that to even the thickest of people.

Snow being pushed off pitches can cause untold damage to the top surface ~ you only had to go to Leyton Orient last week to see that or ask Billericay who haven't managed to stage more than one game since they did it and totally wrecked their pitch.

Nobody wants a postponement but this is a particularly prolonged and wet winter and the south west is particular heavily affected by rainfall.........get real!

[goody2449]

Here we go again.....

Well it’s just as well we have an owner willing to put his hand in his pocket every week, Torquay still one of the very few clubs in NL not to be in financial bother, because no home game for 3 weeks or so must be making a dent in the coffers

Surely Nicholson is to blame for the poor drainage

Surely Nicholson is to blame for the poor drainage

I’d definitely say so.....

I'm no businessman so with that in mind ....

But don't the club owe riveria stadium a ton of money ?

Point I'm making against the point your making has osborne put in his hand in his pocket with no consequence or does the club owe him the money
Back.?

When it comes to crunch involving the stadium I wonder what bearing this has ?

Just as well your head is not the club because if it were you might just end up with a big bump on it when it gets dropped from a great height

Nor am I a business man. My point is, the lights are still on at plainmoor, staff are still getting paid, somebody’s footing the bill, because nobody has walked through the turnstiles, or bought a pint or a programme for 3 weeks, so we should be at least grateful for that

[westyorkshiregull]

Yep I get all that but if he owns the club then it's his duty to pay for the lights being switched on and the staff being paid.
But what s the final cost of this going to be for this ' favour ' as you seem to make it sound

[goody2449]

Not a favour, just think we should be grateful, we could be in financial woes like most other club in the league. I’d imagine match day revenue, although not much would prob contribute a little to the outgoings
