They may have been so many postponements at Firgrove 40 and 50 years ago because there was a distinct policy that if one of the pitches was unfit then all games scheduled for that day were postponed.
This was to prevent squabbling about “why aren’t we playing when their game two pitches away is going ahead”.

I totally accept that. It was the time and the place which were inappropriate if you ask me.
Perhaps I’m old school in that respect.

Big interview with BBM in today’s Guardian as Cardiff play Chelsea in the League Cup this week.
Quite a good read with several Dale mentions.
Wish I could do the link.

You’d never guess from that that he has an MA degree in Economics from Cambridge.

A few people on social media are asking the pertinent question as to how the man was appointed in the first place? Can the Head of Football Operations and certain board members stay in place?

Might be a long shot but could Nevett be available on loan from Peterborough?

Absolute sickener for the lad. His birthday today as well so not the best of presents.
Might mean a slight change in the way we play from the back as well. Tutonda and Galvin presumably favourites to replace him.

The final straw for me was the FIFA “Peace Prize”.
The sports washing of Qatar and Saudi Arabia was bad enough.
And we thought things were bad under Blatter.

And/or free from suspension although he doesn’t appear to be accumulating yellow cards as frequently as early in the season.

The signing of Galvin looks particularly prescient now if Beckwith is sidelined for a while. Will also be interesting to see if Totunda features at Leamington.

I know that they used to sell tickets for Day 5 in the dim and distant past as I’ve bought them for test matches at Old Trafford.
I can understand why the practice may have been discontinued though with trends as they are in modern cricket.
I was reading somewhere the other day that Tests were only played over three days until the 1930s when matches were extended to five days due to the high percentage of drawn games.
That was in an era when batsmen frequently spent all day building an innings though!

Cricket Australia won’t be happy either.
Plenty of refunds to be made to all those ticket holders for the final day.
That’s four days over two tests.

There’s no internal criticism as they’re all quite happy in the Bazball bubble.
Quite impervious to what other people think.

I hope that when he referred to the club ignoring the fact that the pitch needed sorting that he was referring to previous administrations rather the current owners.

The England Lions team are having an equally miserable time of it.
They were bowled out for 166 in their first innings; Australia A are 554-7 in reply, a lead of 388.

I knew it was a midweek game as I was only nine and wasn’t allowed to attend night matches at that age so I persuaded my dad (who had no interest whatsoever in going normally to Spotland) to take me. I was shocked to see many people walking down Spotland Rd.

Just edited it! Thanks. It was a pretty lacklustre 2-0 defeat as well.

I seem to remember going to a home game against Millwall in April 1965 with over 8000 in atttendance.
It was a pretty drab 0-2defeat and not many came back after that.
Some things don’t change!

To my mind today was very similar to the game against Halifax earlier in the season.
Overpowered to an extent in the first half and deservedly behind at the break only to become more gung-ho and direct in the second half.
If the keeper hadn’t made a good save and Gordon later cleared off the line in the first 45 then it might have been Dale asking for an abandonment.
