facebook post to us said "ground to wet, goalmouths are a mess" this game was called before 730am today, just saying.

the word is they didn't want to play 5 games on it this weekend as they have four games in a row at home, they didnt want to wreck the ground, so they called ZPL off so they can play there women's teams tomorrow.

When Barnsley did this a couple of years ago, called it off prematurely the powers that be went and looked at,(who was that against?) it oh sorry forgot this is a newcastle Football club isn't it.
You make a lot of assumptions on hearsay.

Our women’s games are off tomorrow as well, so that’s your first myth debunked.

We’ve been advised by our association that games need to be called as early as possible in the morning, this is to allow for the opposition and referees to be notified. Then referees can be allocated elsewhere if need be.

The pitch was absolutely not “bone dry” but I acknowledge your opinion will not change there, you bleed orange.

We were at full strength (apart from coach red card vs Cooks Hill but that suspension rolls on) and wanted to play the game as well. However you don’t know the field and if games went ahead today, by 3.00pm you would be blowing up about the state of the pitch and it would be an injury waiting to happen.

A blue word against an orange word and no doubt as you will scream louder, your voice will probably be heard. However that doesn’t mean you are correct.
