Pointless thread, my ass

So you think the club should be able to control the weather?
Do you think the club should force Braintree to travel, see the game postponed anyway and thus incur their expenses for a game a qualified referee has decided can't be played?
Yes, pointless thread, pointless moan and a pointless response from you.
Next..........

I see what you did there, Duke

Who in the name of sh*t is 'Duke'? :P :Oops:

If you don't live in this area, can assure you right now the rain is coming down in stair-rods, there would have been no chance of getting this game on.

I wonder how many other games outside the Premier elite will be postponed this weekend? I suppose they will all be a disgrace as well. Daftest post we've had on here for years.

York is the only thing I can think of dude other than 'hazzard' .

It was York

Not Pork? 8-]

York are going down anyway. So many similarities to the Torquay FL relegation season it's uncanny.

Maybe i'll support Man Utd now.

Man U v Bromsgrove in 5 years. Guarantee it.

Anyway, eyes on results tomorrow and all being well it works out.

Can you please start supporting Exeter?

No. Because of this......

Exeter before tonight had lost 4 on the spin against footballing luminaries such as Dag and Red. Tonight they played admittedly a below strength Liverpool but Liverpool nonetheless. They played them with heart, passion, desire, commitment, determination and all the superlative adjectives you could use to describe 'spunk' in a purely footballing sense. In addition, the tempo and grit was sexy. They effectively 'gegenpressed' the German at his own 'gegenpressing'. They showed what they can do.

Sadly for the Exeter fans, they will never see this performance replicated at any point this season and come Tuesday will be lost forever whilst the very same players revert to league 2 shitness, camera's absent, to lose embarrassingly at Morecambe.

If the players can play as well as they did tonight then why won't the Exeter fans see this kind of performance again? That's footballers for you.

I don't have to curse Exeter by 'supporting' them. Their fans already know they are forking out to pay the wages of selective and disingenuous players. Torquay know only too well where that ends up eventually.

Rant

I see that the instigator of this thread is from Yeovil. I don't think he understands the advantage that Yeovil have with regard to postponements. If we have a hand's width of rain in the 48 hours before a game it's usually off, with the extra finger in Yeovil you will have fewer postponements.

See you in the National League next season Somerset, hopefully we will still be in the top division to play you.

Its posts like this that make me despair at some of the moronic attitudes of our fanbase. Either this is a troll, or an absolute cretin.

Firstly, I couldn't care less that Braintree have had 3 in a row postponed. Absolutely nothing to do with us.

Secondly, the club got lambasted when we called the Wrexham game off around an hour before KO, being called unprofessional and such like and all the keyboard warriors saying we should have called the game off on Friday. Now the club has done that - fair play, they've learned their lessons.

Thirdly - its winter. Games get called off. It happens. I've travelled all the way up to Stockport to have a game called off on the day. I didn't feel the need to call anyone a "disgrace big time"

Fourthly - this works out better for us. The squad is paper thin so it gives Nico more time to try and get some players in. Braintree - a predominantly part time side I believe - not only already have a fixture backlog, but will now have to travel down to us on a Tuesday night. Didn't work out for us last season but that may give us an edge if they are more fatigued.
